Gameplay

Disney: Twisted-Wonderland is described as a "villains academy adventure game" with rhythm game elements and battles.[1] On the home page, the player can interact with whichever character is appearing on the screen at the time.[2] The students can be put through class to increase their stats in subjects including magic history, alchemy, and flying.[2] The plot is told in three separate parts: a fully voiced visual novel section that explores the students' backstories, a rhythm game section, and a battle section.[2] The exams portion of the game uses battles to test how much the player has grown as a sorcerer.[2]

Plot

The main character, whose name is chosen by the player, is summoned to another world by a magic mirror and arrives at the magic training school, Night Ravens College. The main character is taken in by the school's headmaster and becomes acquainted with the school's top students, each in seven different dormitories, while searching for a way home.[1]
