Triomatica Games has confirmed that its theatre-themed logic puzzler I Want To Play The Villain is in development for both Nintendo Switch 2 and the existing Nintendo Switch, with a planned digital release on the Nintendo eShop worldwide and no release date or window specified.
The announcement positions the title as an indie puzzle entry that blends character-driven storytelling with modular puzzle mechanics aimed at players who enjoy logic challenges with narrative framing.
Game concept and design
I Want To Play The Villain tasks players with managing a theatre troupe: rearranging cast members, swapping costumes and altering story elements to satisfy the ambitions, fears and role preferences of each actor.
Triomatica Games has described the core loop as a series of theatre-themed logic puzzles in which a single change — a new pairing, a costume swap or a role reassignment — can shift the entire performance.
Key features (as outlined by Triomatica Games)
- Solve clever theatre-themed logic puzzles that revolve around character relationships and stage roles.
- Explore distinct chapters, each with unique settings, characters, mechanics and narrative beats.
- Reconfigure modular story elements to create different performances and outcomes across playthroughs.
- Learn each actor’s personality, preferences, ambitions and fears to conquer progressively challenging puzzles.
- Experience variable performances: each arrangement can produce a different show.
Rewritten developer statement
Triomatica Games explained that players will need to balance actors’ desires and anxieties to craft satisfying performances, saying the title emphasizes how a single strategic change can transform the outcome of an entire scene.
The studio framed the game as an exercise in empathy and logic, where observation and thoughtful adjustments are the player’s primary tools.
Platform and release
The developer confirmed a worldwide digital release on the Nintendo eShop for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, but has not provided a release date or window.
No physical edition or additional platform announcements have been made publicly.
What to watch for
Players and press can expect further details from Triomatica Games in future updates, including footage, release timing and platform-specific features.
For now, I Want To Play The Villain is positioned as a narrative-first logic puzzler coming to Nintendo’s current and next-generation Switch platforms.
