Well, there's a Villain Protagonist tag on Steam. So does vndb, through, from what I can see, in that case it's more "games where you play a terrible human being with no redeeming quality whatsoever".

As for personal recommendation… A good game, story-heavy I guess, where you consistently play the role typically attributed to the bad guy (no "start evil then turn good" or "look good but, final plot twist, was actually evil all along") and the narrative is a bit more subtle than either "good guy with bad publicity" or "total monster"…

The Keeper of the Seven Keys could have fit the bill, but it never got written sadly.

Bunny Black 2? The game has some cool ideas: The protagonist is the Dungeon Master not because he is the strongest but because he married the Demon Queen. He must compose every day through charm and wits with more powerful and competent subordinates and allies. He also got a child and heir, and, for the most part (a.k.a when it's not suddenly extremerly creepy), their interactions are quite cute.

But the dungeon-crawling is a bit bland, the plot never takes fly in spite of a few cool scenes, and some moments, especially in the prison, are worse than creepy.

Dead Moon Night? You play as a dismembered lich trying to get its powers back. Not bad, but quite short and mostly humorous. Has a lot of, also short, pseudo-sequels (games set in the same universe with different protagonists). The ending is very TLS.
