    Stir up a fresh take on iconic Disney Villains in this rich visual novel.

    Enter the Cursed Café. Step into a world where every cup holds a secret and every sip can change a destiny! As the newest Potionista at the Disney Villains Cursed Café, you’ll create enchanted blends for a cast of legendary figures—Cruella de Vil, The Evil Queen, Gaston, Captain Hook, Jafar, Maleficent, and Ursula—all reimagined in a modern, magical world.
    Unravel their motivations. Your choices influence their ambitions—will Gaston impress his golf bros? Can Hook steal the spotlight in community theater? Can Maleficent dominate social media? And will Ursula become a reality TV sensation? Uncover and influence the villains' stories with your potion creations.
    With every sip, a world of possibilities. Each villain arrives with a request, but what they truly need may be something entirely different. Using enchanted ingredients from your café and the brewing machine, craft magical potions to give each villain what they ask for, or a taste of what they need. With help from Yzma, you'll uncover rare upgraded ingredients to create enhanced magical elixirs influencing the stories' outcome. Will your signature potions bring them clarity, courage, or chaos?

    A spellbinding experience awaits. With stunning artwork, immersive storytelling, and a touch of alchemy, this visual novel invites you to explore the modern ambitions of these iconic villains. In this world of magic and mystery, every ingredient matters.

    It won’t be the most challenging game you’ll play, but Disney Villains Cursed Cafe will delight fans of the stories and baddies starring in it. It’s a very relaxed experience. You never need to worry about the consequences. It’s about enjoying the moment with over-the-top personalities and potentially affecting the course of their adventures in the process. That said, the ease of it and focus on prior knowledge of the enemies within mean that, unlike similar games Coffee Talk and Tavern Talk, you do need a level of knowledge or investment to get the most enjoyment out of it.

    Disney Villains Cursed Cafe is best handled in short bursts to carry on the cafe vibe. Personally, I play one day at a time to help carry the story, but it can all be completed within a couple of hours if you just want to see how it ends. Bully the Villains if you want or try to help them become better people; at the end of the day, it’s your cafe.

    For what it is, Disney Villains: Cursed Cafe is fine. It's a simple visual novel that gives some extra flair to some tried-and-true Disney baddies. I certainly had a good chat with more than a few of them, but it wasn't something that could hold my attention for very long and was made worse if I felt like I made a mistake and had to blow another 5-10 minutes to redo the day. Some people are made for the daily grind of potionista work, but maybe I'm just not one of them.

    The writing is sharp and funny, with some particularly pointed dialogue options (you can tell the villains that in this modern world, the rulers are the 1%, for instance). Seeing the characters interact is also a highlight. Cruella and the Evil Queen roll their eyes at Gaston’s attempts at dating on “the apps.” Maleficent and Ursula reluctantly team up for a social media collaboration. And throughout it all, the art style is incredibly charming, an elevated rendering of the characters’ Disney movie counterparts with some painterly accents.
