MachiaVillain is a Rimworld meets Don't Starve hunted house simulator game. You play the "evil" characters and entice innocent visitors to your haunted mansion. They have no idea their brains are being donated to science (or lunch).

In this episode:

I set up a basic base with a home office in the front with a writing desk. With these letters you can make ad campaigns to attract fresh meat to your haunted house so they can join you for dinner. I also add some bedrooms so they can sleep well at night and a kitchen to prepare the brains, bones, meat and blood for consumption.

Some hotkeys you may find useful:

control-A (select all units)
f - fast mode
k - attack mode
j - building mode

You can re-bind some key board shortcuts from the input tab when you launch the game.

About MachiaVillain:

Welcome to Villain City, a luxury community entrenched in the hills of horror. Ax murderers, mad scientists and tax evaders, all kinds of bad guys consider this place to be their sweet home. This is the perfect place to rest, relax, and pursue a career in the noblest of professions: professional Villain!!

The real estate agent promised you a haunted house with jump scare devices and terrifying traps. Instead, you have a piece of empty land full of Vermin near a rubbish forest.

But do not flee yet! With a little elbow grease, the help of your minions and a lot of murders, you can turn this house into a happy and dreary mortal trap. Just lure locals inside, then trigger your deadly traps or let your minion feast on their brains and flesh. Every night you'll multiply your evil level until everyone calls your mansion " scary, nasty and horrible."

Be aware that the League of Machiavellian Villains has adopted a strict policy that governs the level of wickedness that you have to adhere to in order to stay in the community. 

Follow the rules of the League and become the scariest neighborhood Villain!

Build your mansion: Create the evil mansion of your nightmares! Put together the perfect crypt for your vampire, the insanest lab for your mad scientist, an irresistible swimming pool for your victims (and your shark) and don't forget the cannibal kitchen!

Gather your evil nightmare team: Choose your minions wisely though, as each possesses different traits and have different needs that must be tended to. 

Bloody good crafting: Sawing through countless victims means you'll end up with a few spare parts. Why not use those bits and bobs to craft something useful? MachiaVillain lets you create things using ingredients gathered from victims and harvested from the environment. Put them together and you'll get something horrifying, but also useful.
