September 24, Entry 7

Herm. Today I think I will work on my writing skills by attempting to explain the unexplainable: the Chzo Mythos. The Chzo Mythos is a series of four free downloadable games by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. Their titles are (in this order): 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes, and 6 Days a Sacrifice. The first starts off with a shot of a red car driving down the road. There is some dialogue describing the main character, Trilby, as he talks about himself and where he is going. Trilby is a self-described gentleman thief, who only steals what he's sure people aren't using. He is currently on his way to DeFoe Manor, the mansion of the late something DeFoe and his wife. They were both recently found dead on the mansion grounds, the wife stabbed and the husband hanged from a tree in the back. The police have classified it a murder-suicide, but friends of the DeFoes say that they had no reason to kill themselves, as they were completely happy in their new home (The husband having recently proved his connection to the DeFoe lineage and inheriting the house). The DeFoe Manor has existed for about 200 years, and all inhabitants have suffered strange, untimely deaths. Trilby, knowing only what his contact has told him, is unaware of anything other then that the house contains treasures of enormous value. After his arrival at the house, he uses his grolly to grapple into a second-floor window, which promptly shuts behind him.
