90/100

Triomatica Games brings their signature artistic charm to the logic puzzle genre with Villain!, a whimsical game that turns theatrical stage management into a delightful brain-teaser. The premise of acting as a director who must cater to eccentric actors' egos, fears, and costume demands is wonderfully original.

Mechanically, the game functions like a personality-driven logic grid. Each level presents a stage setup where satisfying one actor's desire might directly conflict with another's fear. Finding the exact sequence of scene module swaps and costume changes that satisfies every constraint delivers a immensely satisfying 'eureka' moment.

With beautifully crafted visual flourishes and clever puzzle design, Villain! stands out as a memorable indie gem. It proves that logic puzzles don't need to look like abstract grids to offer deep, rewarding mental challenges.

Dinsun Review

Triomatica Games always brings interesting artistic concepts to the table. Balancing actor personalities and stage placements feels like solving a cozy, theatrical logic grid. It's concise and well-designed, though it lacks long-term replayability once the puzzles are solved.
