Reviews

“The Forest Quartet left me feeling hopeful about the future. It’s a story about the resilience of the human spirit, the healing power of music and the profound, unshakeable impact that art can have on the world.”
4/5 – The Guardian

“The culmination of the roughly hour-and-a-half-long game is a concert that plays on my heartstrings.”
Positive – The Indie Informer

“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.”
7/10 – CogConnected

About This Game



The Forest Quartet is a puzzle adventure about a gone, but not forgotten, lead singer.
Play her spirit and travel through 3 acts unique to the members of her band for a final concert.
Face their emotions, solve puzzles and fight the corruption plaguing their souls.








  • Something strange has taken over the once green and lush nature that Kirk would draw his inspiration from. The fungus slowly creeps and turns growth into decay.
    Use the power of your voice to restore the forest.


  • The forest has become an abyss of darkness.
    Creatures have awoken from the depths of the underground, swarming JB's house.
    Find the light that once existed to reignite JB's musical spark.


  • A volcano has erupted, spitting lava out into the nearby forest causing fires and destruction.
    Find your way as a swarm of butterflies through a maze of pipes in order to reestablish a system of water in the deep underground.








  • Sing to interact with objects, create light with your fingertips. Glide, float, and transform into butterflies to explore the band members' psyches.


  • Environments and objects add unique layers to the soundtrack. Whether it be crackling forest fires or the cold winds from the deep caverns.


  • Live through heartbreak and loss. Recover from grief and restore the band’s musical spark.


  • No written descriptions or instructions, progressively gain powers for your travels.


  • Short and sweet. Can be played in one evening or picked up for a little while every night of the week.
