In the first act, players encounter Kirk, whose inspiration from the lush forest has been tainted by a creeping fungus. Using the power of song, players must restore the forest to its former glory. The second act focuses on JB, whose home is engulfed in darkness and overrun by creatures from the depths. Players must reignite JB's musical spark by finding the light that once illuminated his world. The final act revolves around Sebastian, where a volcanic eruption has caused chaos and destruction. Players transform into a swarm of butterflies, navigating through a maze of pipes to reestablish a water system deep underground.

The Forest Quartet offers a unique gameplay experience where players sing to interact with objects, create light, and explore the band members' psyches.
