- I Want to Play the Villain! lets you arrange the cast and solve creative theatre-themed logic puzzles to transform the outcome of a play.
- The game features multiple story chapters with new characters, mechanics, settings, and unique performances to discover.
Triomatica Games, the award-winning Ukrainian studio behind Boxville and Boxville 2, has announced its new theatre-themed logic puzzle game, I Want to Play the Villain!, which is set to launch on Android, iOS, PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch in Q1 2027. The indie game is also kicking off a demo on Steam this August 17, 2026.
Every actor has a story, and it’s your job to make the perfect performance
So, in I Want to Play the Villain!, you’re not solving ordinary puzzles. Instead, you’ll take charge of a theatre production where every actor has their own personality, dreams, fears, and favorite roles. Here, your task is to rearrange the cast, swap costumes, and reshape the story until everyone fits naturally into the performance.
As you progress, you’ll need to think carefully about every decision. I mean, giving an actor their dream role, pairing them with the right co-star, or keeping them away from situations they dislike can completely change how the play unfolds. I’m already liking the idea of how even a single adjustment can create an entirely different performance, making every puzzle feel rewarding to solve.
Moreover, the adventure unfolds over several unique chapters, each introducing new settings, characters, mechanics, and fresh storytelling twists. Along the way, you’ll learn more about each actor’s ambitions and preferences while also tackling increasingly clever logic puzzles. Overall, the game looks very promising to me with its theme, artwork, gameplay, and overall content.
I Want to Play the Villain! is set to launch on Android, iOS, PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch in Q1 2027. Stay tuned for more updates regarding pre-registrations and the exact launch date.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
