Most people are probably familiar with the Zero Punctuation series (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation) by that British-Austrailian fella. The same guy is an independant games developer, and he's made this funky little game called Trilby: The Art of Theft. It is little aswell, it's like a 10MB download. I've seen it advertised loads o times, but for some reason never played it. It's fabulous, I love it.

It's a 2D stealth game where you sneak about houses at night, tryin to pick up loot and make as much money as possible without getting caught. It seems simple at first, but slowly introduces alot of extra stuff to get n stuff to do. Like every stealth game, it's hard and requires patience. Also, it shows that this Zero Punctutation guy wrote it all (and voiced it) cos the writing's pretty clever.

I played it for a day or 2 after it was released and found it quite enjoyable. It got a bit tricky and I gave up, but I still have it installled so I might give it another try. The humour is great, and for such a simple game I like the graphical style. There's just something about it that makes it that little better than the thousands of other games with similar styles.
