The application is conceived by Yana Toboso, known for her work on "Black Butler", and presents a captivating narrative within a unique universe called Twisted Wonderland. In this realm, the player is summoned by a magic mirror to Night Raven College, an illustrious academy focused on arcane studies that greatly differs from the familiar world. Finding no other option, the player accepts an invitation from the enigmatic headmaster and embarks on a quest to discover a way back home.
As the player navigates through Night Raven College, they encounter a diverse group of students, each embodying both extraordinary talents and complex personalities. The dynamic among these students is characterized by rivalry and discord, providing an intriguing backdrop for gameplay. The central challenge lies in the player's ability to collaborate with these characters amidst their strife, while also uncovering the hidden truths within their villainous personas.
The game mechanics are designed to enhance the storytelling experience through a combination of educational elements and engaging activities. Players will attend classes such as History of Magic, Alchemy, and Flight, which serve to deepen their understanding of Twisted Wonderland. The gameplay is structured into three distinct segments: advancing the narrative, engaging in spell-based battles, and participating in rhythm games known as Twistunes, which allow players to sync with captivating music.
Players will find that the lore of Twisted Wonderland is richly influenced by iconic Disney films. Night Raven College boasts seven distinctive dormitory houses, each reflecting a different classic tale. For example, Heartslabyul Dorm draws inspiration from "Alice in Wonderland", while Savanaclaw and Octavinelle are rooted in "The Lion King" and "The Little Mermaid", respectively. This creative twist on beloved stories adds a layer of familiarity and nostalgia to the game.
