A free demo of I Want to Play the Villain! by Triomatica Games, known for the adventure game Boxville, has appeared on Steam. This new logic puzzle will take players backstage at a small theater, where they will have to assemble the perfect cast for a play.
Each artist has their own desires, ambitions, and fears. One dreams of playing a villain, another wants a specific stage partner, and some refuse to wear a particular costume or are afraid of being in a certain situation. The player will have to assign roles and stage the production in a way that satisfies everyone, if possible.
Players will be able to change not only the cast but also the costumes and the story of the play itself, and one decision can affect the entire production. The game is divided into chapters with their own scenery, characters, mechanics, and storylines, and as players progress, the puzzles will become more challenging.
The full version of I Want to Play the Villain! will be released in the first quarter of 2027 on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android.
