The story in "Midnight Quest" is described as charming but minimal, with a brief initial premise that lacks further development until the game's conclusion. Players engage in puzzle-solving to repair a time machine and save characters, making the narrative feel secondary to the gameplay experience. Overall, while the story adds a nice touch, it is not the main focus of the game.
“Really lovely game... great price for the time played... very relaxing, interesting puzzles, and a nice little story.”
“Midnight Quest is a charming little point and click adventure that is definitely worth the price of admission.”
“Midnight Quest is a fun point and click adventure that has you solving puzzles in an effort to repair a time machine and save the scientist and robot in a lab.”
“There was an initial premise of a story (which was very brief) and then there's no further plot development until you accomplish your primary goal and subsequently finish the game.”

The music in the game is generally considered unmemorable and sparse, with some areas lacking background music entirely. However, the quirky gibberish noises made by characters add a charming element to the audio experience. Overall, the sound design is seen as a significant weakness.
“The sounds and music aren't memorable, and are few and far between, but the little gibberish noises characters communicate with are a nice touch.”
“The sound was severely lacking in most of the game, with certain areas having no background music and a handful of sound effects being used.”
