 The Art of Theft (Video Game)
comment
A spinoff of the Chzo Mythos game series by Ben Croshaw. The game features Trilby in his former life as a master thief and your goal, of course, is to steal various things using a grappling hook and other gear.Unlike the games in the main series, this is a Stealth-Based Game rather than an adventure game. The plot is also unconnected to the Chzo Mythos, apart from Trilby's presence.

Spiritual Successor: Gunpoint, a game developed by someone who once interviewed Yahtzee, so it's likely that some inspiration was taken.

Trial-and-Error Gameplay: There's no way to identify which wire you need to cut in the fusebox for the first time. It's always the same wire, at least.

Even Evil Has Standards: Trilby will automatically abort the mission if he sets off too many alarms or tases too many guards. The upgrade that lets him tase more guards is called "Sadism".

comment
The Guards Must Be Crazy: The guards' habit of shrugging what they see off as nothing if you get out of their sight in time already applies, but if they do sound the alarm, all they do is stand in place and act scared... Even though they're supposed to apprehend you.

And Your Reward Is Clothes
 The Art of Theft (Video Game) / int_6ac6a56a
comment
And Your Reward Is Clothes: Various outfits are unlocked throughout, such as a reference to the source material, an outfit to make you all but visible when not pressed against the wall in complete darkness, an outfit to eliminate all alarm and taser limits, or an outfit which, combined with the right perk, makes you completely invisible, even in full light. That said, though, both said outfit and the perk are difficult to get. In order to get the outfit, you need to A-rank the story mode, which only leaves the bonus heist that you might not have completed yet, and any level on which you don't already have the Trilby-rank, to use it on, and the perk costs a lot of reputation points. Still worth it, though.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Incriminating files you can find at Protocorp include sex scandals, participation in Ku Klux Klan rallies, illegal toxic dumping and covering up work-related injuries, connections to the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, and a complete list of Protocorp employee salaries. "Maybe this will interest middle management."

Grappling-Hook Pistol: Trilby's grolly, which has a grappling hook in it. Amusingly, he doesn't actually fire the grappling hook—all he does with it in this game is use its crook to reach up to pull himself up through thin platforms.

Static Stun Gun: The business end of Trilby's umbrella has a taser in it, which can knock out any human guard in a single zap. You need to use it to disable the Battlesphere at the end of the game, suggesting it's got a much bigger electrical charge than it appears.

Call a Hit Point a "Smeerp": Although Trilby gets money from his various heists, he never actually does anything with it. Instead, in-game skill upgrades are purchased with "Reputation Points," which he earns for particularly impressive exploits.

Anti-Hero
 The Art of Theft (Video Game) / int_beb9a361
comment
Anti-Hero: Much like Garret of the Thief series, Trilby steals partly for himself, but also mostly out of a personal crusade against what he sees as idleness and greed, only stealing things that the owner does not need, and targeting mainly the rich in a Just Like Robin Hood fashion. Yahtzee himself later has noted that this behaviour is slightly delusional, and Trilby eventually discards it during the Chzo Mythos when he realises that this goal is utterly insignificant compared to much, much more terrifying problems...
