Beginner’s Guide to Disney: Twisted Wonderland

November 25, 2020

Tired of the same old princes and princesses? Step into the world of Disney: Twisted-Wonderland (ディズニーツイステッドワンダーランド, Dizunī Tsuisuteddo Wandārando), a smartphone game that will have you rooting for the villains!

Launched in March 2020 by Walt Disney Japan and Aniplex, it features a bewitching collection of characters. If they look familiar, it’s probably for two reasons – firstly, they’re all inspired by iconic Disney villains. Secondly, they were designed by Black Butler author Yana Toboso. You’ll be able to interact with them through an exciting mix of visual novel, rhythm game and battle game elements.

While there haven’t been any announcements regarding an English language version of the game, there’s still plenty to enjoy even if you’re not a Disney fan. Read on to get started with Disney: Twisted-Wonderland (which we’ll refer to as Twisted Wonderland) – but beware, as you may never want to leave the world of these wickedly charming villains!

One day, you suddenly find yourself transported to another world through a mysterious magic mirror. Before you stands a dark castle – Night Raven College, a prestigious boys’ school that trains its students in the arts of magic. Fortunately, the headmaster agrees to take you in. Not only are you accepted as a student, but you also get the chance to meet the school’s top aspiring wizards. But despite their undeniable talent, you soon notice a certain dynamic between them – their complete inability to cooperate amongst each other. Can you unite these “villains” and find a way home?

Characters

After finding shelter at Night Raven College, you will meet its uniquely gifted students. Each gained the right to enrol there only after the Mirror of Darkness recognized their potential as a wizard.

After enrolling, each student’s personality is assessed and they are sorted into one of the “Great Seven” houses, based on Disney villains as follows: Heartslabyul (Queen of Hearts and her cards from Alice in Wonderland ), Savanaclaw (Scar from The Lion King ), Octavinelle (Ursula from The Little Mermaid ), Scarabia (Jafar from Aladdin ), Pomefiore (the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ), Ignihyde (Hades from Hercules ), and Diasomnia (Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty ).
