Like most other games in the series, Magical Melody is a farming Simulation Game. The central location is Flower Bud Village, a small town with a few shops that finds itself in need of new blood. To this end, it advertises the Exciting Ranch Plan, a plan for aspiring farmers to move to town, purchase land, and start their own farm.
Enter the player character, who moves to town to start a new life. Not too long after, she runs into a trio of Harvest Sprites, all of whom are quite surprised that she can see them. The Sprites enlist the player's help to rescue the Harvest Goddess, who has turned to stone out of despair at the unkindness of the world. To save her, the player must collect 50 musical notes, which are granted for various tasks or life events such as attending festivals, getting married, or doing a certain number of a job (like chopping wood or pulling weeds). However, the player isn't the only one collecting the notes. Another farmer, Jamie, also wants to save the Harvest Goddess, and seems unusually determined to do it alone.[1]
