story
106 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is a complex adaptation of Gaston Leroux's "The Phantom of the Opera," praised for its emotional depth and character exploration, though it takes significant liberties with the source material. While some players appreciate the darker elements and the engaging narrative, others feel that certain changes detract from the original's essence, particularly in the portrayal of key characters like Erik and Christine. Overall, it is considered a worthwhile experience for fans of the story, despite its flaws.
“A story-oriented adventure that captures the essence of the original through gaming.”
“Despite the high regard I held for the original works, this version entertains, offers an additional new ending instead of just the canon ending of the book, and most of all left me thinking of it long after I finished the story.”
“If a story can manage to make me think about it days after I finished it, that's a story well told in my book.”
“Lastly, the story takes odd liberties with the source material.”
“This isn't necessarily a deal breaker for me, but all they really had to do was tell the Leroux story accurately and this game would've been praised to high heaven and back by fans.”
“While I generally recommend it - the story is heart-wrenching, tense, and interesting all the way through - the game adaptation is... bad.”

MazM: The Phantom of the Opera is what I would like to see more of in video games; it’s a genuine effort to engage with a more meaningful side of art. It’s less pop culture, easy content as it is an adaptation of a masterpiece of the gothic literature genre. The developer succeeded in capturing the aesthetics and generally representing the story, but there have been some big compromises made to hammer this nail into place, and the gamey elements and technical proficiency are just not there. Not for the Switch version, at any rate. As a Phantom of the Opera fan, I do highly recommend like-minded fans check this out, as it is a curiosity, but if you’re going into this looking for a game… you’d be better off picking up a copy of the film adaptation of the musical.
