STORY INTRO
There was once a band living and playing harmonious, jazzy tunes in a great forest. The band consisted of a wild drummer, a poetic pianist, an introvert bassist and a female lead singer who had a voice that would illuminate the world and heal every broken heart.
They called themselves; "The Forest Quartet." A band of outsiders that were only heard by the silent life of the forest.
All was good until tragedy struck the band and a car crash took the life of the singer. The sorrow and despair split up the band and allowed evil forces to root in the forest since there was no longer music to protect it. In the heavens, the lead singer looked down and saw the misery growing in her beloved forest. She decided there was nothing better for her to do than to go back in "spirit" form and try to get the band, back together!
GAMEPLAY

In Spirit mode, you play the singer freeing the bandmembers from torment as you destroy the machines.
- Each machine is a puzzle you have to solve.
- By destroying the machines, you give back the courage to the band so they may play together again!
The evil forces are represented as machines that are sucking out the life of the forest. Each machine is Unique in the way its made.
The puzzle lies in figuring out how to deactivate the machines using your power.
