MachiaVillain has a decent amount going for it, there's little doubt there. The concept is fun and one that isn't explored enough, with the added twist of a Cabin in the Woods vibe only helping matters. Once you get into it, the gameplay is engaging, particularly building. It does turns into a bit of a slog as you advance through the ranks though. A lot is also buried beneath the large amount of micromanagement.
Get on Steam"MachiaVillain is a single-player fantasy strategy game with great mechanics and amazing visuals, but can be very grinding and buggy. As a villain, build and manage a haunted house, lure unsuspecting locals to their death, and increase your evil level, all while adhering to the strict policies of the League of MachiaVillain Villains."

MachiaVillain Review – Not Quite an Evil Genius

MachiaVillain is a monster hotel management sim that definitely deserves your time. The brief moments of frustration and confusion are outweighed by genuinely hilarious moments of dark humor and satisfying management-sim bliss. If you’re a fan of the genre, or maybe looking for a more casual management experience, MachiaVillain is a fun and smart offering, which is way deeper and more satisfying than it has any right to be.
