The Forest Quartet

The Forest Quartet is a puzzle adventure about the spirit of a departed lead singer. You travel through three acts, each centered on a member of her band, to prepare for a final concert. Along the way, you face their emotions, solve puzzles and fight the corruption affecting their souls.

The band members’ worlds

Kirk’s once-green forest, which inspired his drawings, is being overtaken by fungus that turns growth into decay. Use the power of your voice to restore it. In JB’s world, darkness fills the forest and creatures swarm his house; find the light that once existed to reignite his musical spark.

A volcano has erupted in another world, sending lava into the nearby forest and causing fires and destruction. Transform into a swarm of butterflies and navigate a maze of pipes to restore a water system deep underground.

Explore and solve

Sing to interact with objects and create light with your fingertips. You can also glide, float and transform into butterflies to explore the band members’ psyches. The game provides no written descriptions or instructions; you gain powers progressively as you travel.

Music and grief

Environments and objects add layers to the soundtrack, from crackling forest fires to cold winds in deep caverns. The story follows heartbreak and loss as you recover from grief and restore the band’s musical spark. The original jazz score was composed by Kaspar Vadsholt, and the soundtrack is performed by selected musicians from The Danish Radio Big Band.
