The story of "Magic Flute" is an adaptation of Mozart's opera, featuring themes of sex, attraction, and romance, though its narrative is often described as thin and incoherent due to its layered adaptations. Despite its complex origins and multimedia influences, the game presents the tale through engaging narration and cut scenes, making it accessible even to those unfamiliar with the original opera. Overall, it combines adventure and plot twists within a unique puzzle game format.
- “The game follows the story of the opera; it is filled with adventure, plot twists, as well as romance.”
- “The story is skillfully told through narration and cut scenes as you play each level of the puzzle game.”
- “I hesitate to say that 'Magic Flute' actually shares the same plot as its progenitor, as its narrative is so thinly told that even being familiar with 'The Magic Flute', I struggled to follow it.”
- “Some of 'Magic Flute's' incoherent storytelling may stem from it being in large part an adaptation of an adaptation, influenced as much by Mozart's 'The Magic Flute' as Amon Miyamoto's video game-inspired retelling of it, from which 'Magic Flute' takes its low-poly art design and neo-Tokyo setting.”
- “The story is based on the opera of the same name by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.”
