A music-themed adventure puzzle game. The Forest Quartet stars the ghost of a deceased singer, trying to help her former band members regain their musical drive.
The Forest Quartet is a music-themed puzzle adventure game. It was developed by an indie studio Mads & Friends and published by Bedtime Digital Games.
The protagonist of The Forest Quartet is Nina, a deceased main singer in a music band. Seeing how the other band members can't move past her death, Nina's ghost tries to help them deal with their intense emotions, other threats and let them regain their musical drive.
The Forest Quartet makes use of the top-down perspective. The game is set in a dense forest and divided into acts, each dedicated to a different band member. We'll need to heal decaying nature that inspird Kirk, restore light and dispatch the monsters lurking in JB's home, and fix an underground water system to save Sebastian from a volcanic eruption.
To do so, we must traverse the forest, floating above the ground, solving puzzles. We can also transform into butterflies and glance into our party members' minds.
The Forest Quartet features colorful, cartoonish, high-quality visuals. One of the game's strongest points is its audio, consisting of the soundtrack by Danish Radio Big Band and ambient noises, like crackling fire or blowing winds. The game's main developer was Mads Vadsholt, while his family took part in the creative process as well - his father composed the soundtrack, while his sister played the protagonist.

The Forest Quartet is a wonderful title that is creative in its approach to telling a touching story. The aesthetics and score blend perfectly to take you on an ethereal journey. Even though it is very short and the puzzles are straightforward, it manages to deliver a memorable experience.

The Forest Quartet is a gorgeously emotive game, one that explores the complex emotion of grief with empathy, nuance, and understanding. This jazz-inspired puzzle game is an experience to be relished, one that will live long in the memory.
FingerGuns: 8 / 10 by Sean Davies
A succinct, poignant and personal narrative puzzle game, The Forest Quartet is an excellent way to spend an evening. Its intimate story is brought to life through an art style packed with symbolism and gorgeous music. There are a few foibles with the game, but they account for just a fraction of the overall experience.
