Customer service is a terrible gig.
Everyone knows that the work is tiring, the pay is poor, and the customers are monsters.
Welcome to the virtual pinball arcade of your dreams.
Cursed Cafe immediately piqued my interest.
Hipster Disney Villains dishing dirt and navigating daily life?
I strapped on my dingy, potion-stained apron and got right to work.
I dont know about you, but I dont spend much time chatting with baristas about my daily life.
For a visual novel, theres a lot of room for error here.
Youre left to your own devices to make potions, minus a handful of recipes available from the start.
You only get one chance with the customers per day, so choose your potions wisely.
I threw random ingredients together to serve the Evil Queen, which ended up as a curdled mess.
She drank it out of spite and told me off.
If not for Yzmas surprise appearance at the counter, Id have been screwed out of a good conversation.
The inclusion of a do-over potion is nice, and theyre technically free.
If anything, they feel like the boomer versions of themselves, far less intimidating and much more annoying.
Just like working in customer service actually isbut this is Disney were talking about.
Isnt it supposed to be magical?
An escape from reality?
However, some Villains truly feel out of place.
Theres not too much thinking or decision-making to do here, which I quite enjoyed.
Anything to avoid Maleficent smiting her fellow streamers and leaving a terrible review on TalkZic just to spite me.
Shes so wicked, she didnt even leave a tip.
Disney Villains Cursed Cafe is best handled in short bursts to carry on the cafe vibe.
