Disney Twisted-Wonderland (ディズニー ツイステッドワンダーランド, Dizunī Tsuisuteddo Wandārando)[1] is a Japanese mobile game created by Aniplex and Walt Disney Japan. Yana Toboso, creator of Black Butler, is in charge of the original plan, main script, and character designs,[2] which are inspired by Disney villains from various franchises. The game was first launched in Japan on March 18, 2020. An English localization was released on January 20, 2022, in the United States and Canada.[3]

Gameplay

[edit]

The genre of Disney Twisted-Wonderland is described as a "Villains Academy ADV (adventure game)".[4] It is described to have a "basic gameplay system" consisting of three main elements: Lessons, Stories, and Exams.[5]

Twisted-Wonderland operates a gacha game model that allows players to obtain random new characters by spending the in-game currency of Magic Keys, which are obtained through the in-game shop, or Magic Gems.[6] The characters players obtain can be leveled by having them attend "Lessons" and using the items obtained from said lessons.[5] Players can test the strength of their characters through exams, which test specific elements that switch periodically.[6] Players place their characters in battle to score points depending on their team's strength. Players then achieve a rank depending on their point score, with higher ranks giving higher rewards.[5]

A system function was introduced to the Japanese version of the game on May 30, 2022, called the Guest Room.[7] It allows players to freely customize and enjoy the "Guest Room" of the Ramshackle dorm while inviting their favorite characters (of the cards they have) to visit.

Plot

[edit]

Yuu, whose name can also be chosen by the player, is summoned to another world by a magic mirror and arrives at a magical school, Night Raven College. The school's headmaster gives Yuu an abandoned dorm to stay in while he attempts to find a way for them to go home. Yuu becomes acquainted with the school's top students, each in seven different dormitories (each based on a different Disney villain), while searching for a way home.[8]

Prologue: Welcome to the Villains' world

[edit]

Yuu (the player) is summoned to another world by a magic mirror and arrives at the magic training school, Night Raven College. Yuu has no recollection of how they were summoned there and is unable to be sent back to their original world. Through the antics of a fire-breathing magic cat monster named Grim, Yuu receives a small demonstration of the abilities some people in this new world possess.

Due to having nowhere else to go, Yuu is forced to stay at Night Raven College and act as an errand boy/janitor until the headmaster, Dire Crowley, can find a way to send them home. Crowley graciously allows them to live in the haunted and run-down dormitory on the edge of campus, now called the Ramshackle Dorm. After fighting some local ghosts and being evaluated by Crowley, Yuu and Grim are allowed to stay in the dorm.

Grim and Yuu encounter Ace Trappola and Deuce Spade, who give them a rundown on the ordering of the school dorms. Due to Grim's antics, an expensive magical chandelier breaks during a fight, resulting in the group being told to leave the school. However, they are told that if they go on a quest to retrieve a replacement mage stone for the chandelier in order to fix their mistake, their ban would be rescinded. They visit an abandoned mine to find one and are attacked by a monster covered in an ink-like substance called "blot".

The group fights the monster for the stone, and Yuu discovers that they are able to get normally uncooperative students to work together. As these talents would be of a huge help to Night Raven College, filled with headstrong students unwilling to work in teams, Crowley asks the player to become a joint-student of the school, sharing their enrollment spot with Grim.

Book 1: The Rose-Red Tyrant

[edit]

On the night that the player and Grim are admitted to the school, Ace arrives with a magic-sealing collar on his neck, asking to stay the night. When asked about the situation, Ace replies that he angered his housewarden, Riddle Rosehearts, by eating tarts that were meant for an unknown event, and that as punishment, he was collared. He complains about the long list of rules they must follow in his dorm, most of which seem to be unreasonable. He promises to apologize to his housewarden the next day and heads to the Heartslabyul dormitory.

They help a junior, Cater, paint some white roses red to match the rules of the dorm. He reveals that since they haven't come with an apology tart, a rule they were unaware of, they're still not allowed back in the dorm. They encounter other issues as Ace gets himself in trouble with Riddle once again during lunch and is now stuck with the collar for a longer period. They receive help from another member of the dorm, Trey, a childhood friend of Riddle's and a talented baker. He helps them bake a chestnut apology tart.

The player, Grim, Ace, Deuce, Cater and Trey all help taking the large tart to Riddle, and it's revealed that the party the original tarts Ace ate were meant for was the now-happening unbirthday Party. They present the tart to Riddle, who angrily declares that they've broken rule 562 of the dorm by bringing a chestnut tart to an unbirthday party. Riddle then collars Deuce and Grim as well, and they are once again thrown out of the dorm. Ace decides to challenge Riddle for the position of dorm leader and loses. Riddle's excessive use of magic-blocking collars then causes several of his dorm members to speak out against his harsh punishments.

Out of frustration of people not following the rules of his dorm, Riddle uses too much magic and becomes an Overblot monster, like the one the player encountered in the mines. Crowley explains that this is what happens to mages when they use too much magic, and the leftover waste product, blot, gathers in excess. The player character has to defeat Riddle before he destroys the dorm.

Riddle apologizes for being so uptight about the rules and admits he doesn't really want to follow them himself. They throw a second unbirthday party at Ace's request, and the player, Grim and the Heartslabyul students paint the rest of the white roses red together. Riddle decides not to follow all of the dorm's rules as rigidly as he has been previously.

Book 2: The Usurper from the Wilds

[edit]

The player learns that a televised inter-dorm tournament for the sport of "Magical Shift" ("Spelldrive" in the English version) will be held at the school. Grim wishes to participate, but the sport requires a team of seven and Ramshackle's dorm only has three. A series of mysterious 'accidents' causing injuries to exceptional players at the sport, including Trey and a near-miss on Riddle, cause the two, along with Ace, Deuce and Cater, to investigate.

They visit Savanaclaw dorm to warn Jack Howl, a skilled Magical Shift player, that he may be a target for an 'accident,' but he refuses help and the group is forced into a round of the sport by the housewarden, Leona Kingscholar, which they lose. That night, Jack realises it's Leona and Ruggie causing the accidents using Ruggie's ability to force people to mirror his own actions. He criticises Leona for his dishonesty. Meanwhile, the player meets a Diasomnia student with horns outside Ramshackle, who leaves without introducing himself. Grim names him 'Hornton'. The next day, the group realises that the injuries are caused by Ruggie's magic. Jack joins the group in confronting him, deciding he wants to help.

At the tournament, Ruggie causes a stampede using his ability in an attempt to remove Malleus Draconia, the Diasomnia housewarden and the most skilled player in Night Raven, from the competition. However, he is caught out using a trick from Cater and the pre-warned Diasomnia students. Leona gives up and refuses to play for his dorm, claiming that him playing is useless if Malleus is involved, as they're bound to lose anyway. Continued taunting of his weak will causes Leona to overblot, and the player and the Heartslabyul students work together to defeat him.

The tournament goes ahead, with all of the dorms insisting that Savanaclaw still be allowed to participate despite their cheating so they can try and get revenge through the game. The player, Grim, Ace, Deuce, Jack and the Ramshackle dorm ghosts all play a special exhibition match against Savanaclaw. The tournament is ultimately won by Diasomnia, and the Savanaclaw students resolve to try harder and play fairly next year.

Book 3: The Merchant from the Depths

[edit]

When end-of-term exam scores are announced, with the player and Jack are shocked to learn that Grim, Ace, Deuce, and various other students suddenly grow sea anemones from the top of the three's heads and are dragged away to Octavinelle. It's revealed that all of them have made magically binding deals with Azul Ashengrotto, the housewarden, for extremely useful study guides with the condition that if they failed to get above a certain rank in the school-wide results, then they would be forced to work for free in the dorm's café, Monstro Lounge. The player signs a contract of their own with Azul to free their friends in exchange for a picture of Prince Rielle from the museum in the Coral Sea, and is forced to offer Ramshackle dorm as collateral. This leaves them homeless, and they are taken in by Savanaclaw, who assists them in defeating Azul.

Book 4: Schemer of the Scalding Sands

[edit]

As the holidays begin, the students of Night Raven College are returning home for the winter break. With no place to return to, the player and Grim remain at the school where Crowley asks them to watch over the school's heating system. One day, attracted by the delicious smell coming from the school's kitchen, the player finds Jamil, the vice housewarden of the Scarabia dormitory, cooking. Jamil tells the player and Grim that the Scarabia dormitory received bad results on the final exams and will remain at school during the holidays to study. Jamil invites the player to come to Scarabia, where they are met with tensions between the housewarden and vice housewarden.

Book 5: A Beautiful Tyrant

[edit]

The new semester has begun and the player, who has gotten used to their daily life, is surprised that the National Arcane Academy Culture Fair is happening at the school. Students were encouraged to audition for the fair's main event, the "Vocal & Dance Championship", and Ace, Deuce, and Grim are determined to be chosen with the aim of the grand prize. They were taught how to dance by Kalim and Jamil, and passed the audition held at Pomefiore. Together with Vil and the others, they partake in intensive training to win the championship.

Book 6: Keeper of the Underworld

[edit]

The player is attacked by Grim, who suddenly went out of control, and consults with Ace and Deuce to look for him together. A few days later, the members who participated in the VDC are gathered by Vil at Ramshackle Dorm. Vil apologizes to Ace and the others for what happened at VDC and compensates them. Meanwhile, a mysterious armed group invades the school and kidnaps Vil, Jamil, Riddle, Leona, Azul, Crowley, and Grim. It turns out that the armed group is a special magical security force called "Charon" owned by the mysterious non-governmental organization "STYX", and Idia, who is the heir to the Shroud family, is the acting director of STYX.

Book 7: Ruler of the Abyss

[edit]

As the third-year students prepare for their fourth-year internships, Lilia reveals that he is dropping out from Night Raven College because his magic is gradually fading. This truth leaves Malleus devastated. Even so, Lilia decides to throw a farewell party to cheer everyone up before he goes.

The player has had dreams of the strange person known as Mickey. They convey this information to their first-year friends, and Ortho is able to decipher the possibility of Mickey's appearance in the mirror of the player's room and they gain a lead on the matter. They decide to try catching Mickey and plan it out later at night. Unable to cope with Lilia's departure, Malleus overblots and traps everyone on Sage's Island in his dream realm.
