Summary

  • Disney Villains Cursed Café is a new visual novel game where the player is a potionista who serves potions to Disney villains.
  • The game was announced during the final Nintendo Direct for the Nintendo Switch, but it is also available on Steam.
  • The simplicity of the gameplay involves brewing potions, serving them to the villain, and listening to stories.

  • Both games share a similar art style and theme of serving food and drink to characters from a particular universe. -Coffee Talk’s indie development roots and unique concept make the similarity unsettling to some observers.
  • Players can choose to ignore the game’s corporate origins and simply enjoy the humorous dialogue options and interaction with well-known characters from Disney films.
