posted on by Alex Mateo
Disney Twisted-Wonderland smartphone game is getting a novel titled Disney Twisted-Wonderland Episode 1: Shinku no Bо̄kun (The Crimson Tyrant) that will launch on March 18. Jun Hioki is writing the "episode 1" novel, which adapts the game's prologue and first chapter.
Aniplex of America will release Disney Twisted-Wonderland smartphone game in the U.S. and Canada on Thursday for iOS and Android devices.
The game launched in Japan in March 2020. The first TV ad focused on the Heartslabyul Dormitory, inspired by the world of Alice in Wonderland, and the second ad featured The Lion King-inspired Savanaclaw Dorm.
Black Butler manga creator Yana Toboso handled the game's main concept, scenario, and character designs. TROYCA animated the game's opening movie, and Night Ravels performed the opening theme song "Piece of my world."
The game centers around characters inspired by villains from Disney films, and is described as a "villains academy adventure game" that has rhythm game elements and battles.
The game's story begins when the main character is summoned to another world by a magic mirror. There, the main character arrives at the prestigious magic training school "Night Ravens College." With nowhere to go, the main character is offered protection by the school's masked headmaster, and gets to know the uncooperative but genius students of the school while trying to find a way to get back home.
Night Ravens College has seven dormitories. The characters for each dormitory are inspired by different Disney works, including Alice in Wonderland, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Snow White, Hercules, The Lion King, and Sleeping Beauty.
The Disney Plus subscription service announced in October that the game is inspiring an anime adaptation project.
