5 Days a Stranger is a 2003 point-and-click adventure game developed by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw and published by Fully Ramblomatic for PC. It is the first of four entries in Croshaw's Chzo Mythos series. The story, as the title suggests, takes place over five days, and follows gentlemen thief Trilby, who finds himself trapped in an abandoned manor along with several others, and subjected to disturbing, supernatural events. The game was played on The D-Pad in 2011. The LP consisted of 11 episodes, released on weekdays from July 28 to August 11, 2011.
The game was revisited on the channel in 2014, as the first game in The Chzo Mythos, an LP project covering all four games in the series. This LP, entitled 5 Days a Stranger: Second Stab, was announced with a trailer on July 23, 2014. The LP itself consisted of 8 episodes, released on weekdays from July 28 to August 6, 2014.

Trivia
- The 2011 LP of 5 Days a Stranger was the first LP recorded for The D-Pad after Sonic Week, and the first to be released on their YouTube channel.
- The 2011 LP marked the debut of Nick Bebel, Steve DiTullio, Brandon Vogel and Cait Spain on the channel. With the exception of Bebel, none of them would appear on the channel again.
- The first episodes of both LPs of the game were released on July 28, a significant date in the Chzo Mythos.
- The 2011 LP was originally intended to be the first in an annual series, with one Chzo Mythos game being played every year from 2011 to 2014, and each LP beginning on July 28. After the plans for both 2012 and 2013 fell through, this was ultimately reworked into all four games being played in 2014, including a repeat LP of the first.
- The final episode of the 2014 LP ends with a trailer previewing the LP of 7 Days a Skeptic, the second game in the series.
