I finished this game, tho it is short, and the game mechanics is quite easy and simple but the message is really relatable because I lost my dad a year ago and i have gone through the same situation... thanks to the developers family and friends who came up this simple yet relaxing game... they did wonderful job
As a jazz saxophonist myself, and having lost friends before, I deeply relate to this game on every emotional plane. This game left me with a tear running down my face but also a big smile. The ending concert is also something I’ll be constantly re-listening to over and over again Forest quartet has to be the best 2 hours I have spent in such a long time on a single video game With that being said, time to find the courage to finish alien isolation
Caleb, you did an awesome job with your first made review alone! Michal is asking himself now... Are they calling 911 that I'm missing??? Michal don't worry!!! I'll be the 1st calling if you're missing! The channel needs both of you!
The first time I saw the game cover I thought it was related to the survival game, almost the same yellow title.. Similar to Radiohead Kid-A-Mnesia (also free), always relaxing to play those kind of games.
This is really detailed in terms of overview and narraration. Honestly, if you guys made a few transition animations, this would look soo legit. You've got the bones.
Looks like The Forest Quartet is blacklisted in Australia, Brazil, Russia. The same with this weeks free game 911 operator. So no free game again for me.
So many indies feature grief, depression and severe illnesses as a theme and Epic has given a bunch of this type of games for free over the years. Personally, I'm under the impression that while creating these games are theraupeutic for the people behind them, at the same time they can be triggering for their audience because not everyone reacts to these events in the same way and not everyone processes grief and trauma the same way. Having said that, I think it's very important to "spoil" the theme immediately when reviewing or recommending this type of content to ensure that people that avoid it for their own personal reasons don't end up experiencing these games completely unaware. I'll be skipping this one because I don't think I'll get much from it.
Excellent review !! I love the way you approach the decision of whether the game is worth our time. All video games are about feelings. Sometimes we feel in the mood to take an introspective journey into our deepest fears, such as the death of a loved one or our own. And other times we feel like killing a horde of zombies with a gatling gun. Both are beautiful feelings!!
Thank you Richard! I was quite pleased with this one, probably because I wrote out my thoughts like an essay before recording the video. Since Michal isn't around to discuss the game with, I will probably do it this way more often. I agree, all types of games have value for certain times in our lives! Do you think you'll give this one a try? The two games this week can be finished in less than 2 hours, maybe a way to make progress on the backlog! :-D

Therapy and relaxation game, this looks interesting and good, great and thanks for the video review Caleb! 🙏👍
This game will be a therapy for you after getting tensed in 911 operator lol!
Thanks for a great review! You put some words into it I hadn’t heard before.
Btw, I made the thing.
You made a beautiful thing Mads! I hope my review gets a few more people to experience it. Are you working on another game?
Just started the game 1 hour ago and I love it, so relaxing !
1:13 "The puzzles are not at all challenging, nor are they intended to be".
So they're not really puzzles then. Thanks for the review.

whoop whoop 🚨🚨it's ok, there's an ex-canadian forces around ;) that's doesn't mean, we, canadians, use the force.
Thanks!

Yeah, the opposite of The Forest! :-D Give it a try if you liked Kid-A-Mnesia, Spirit of the North, or Abzu.
An honest review!
Can give it a try ig.
It's sounds like a therapy session in video game form. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
This is really detailed in terms of overview and narraration. Honestly, if you guys made a few transition animations, this would look soo legit. You've got the bones.
Free therapy 🙃

That's a pity!
I mean, I don't care about my emotional experiences while playing. I just wanna have some fun.😊😂
Then this probably isn't the game for you. :-)

You're right, it could be very triggering so it's important to know what you're getting into!
