Future Unfolding

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.

Plot

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.

Mechanics

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.

Technical aspects

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.
