Foray in the Forest aka FITF is the working title of an in-development Keen 4 mod by Nisaba. This game takes place between Keen Dreams and Keen 4. It is intended to close the gap in the storyline between Keen Dreams and Secret of the Oracle.

A demo version was released on Keen Day 2017.

About

In 2012 Mr.M unfortunately lost all of his mod related working material due a hard drive failure. Four years later Nisaba picked up this project again and started to recreate this mod from scratch. The only bases for the rebuild she had were a few screenshots and one video demo footage.

Miscellaneous

From the look and feel FITF combines graphics, items and enemies from both Keen Dreams and Keen 4. This mod shows also aesthetically influences by other games from that era, for instance: Monster Bash, Bio Menace or Cosmos Cosmic Adventure. Furthermore it features Music tracks from the Keen 4 Demo version and includes an interpretation of some graphics shown in the Keen 7 Tech Demo from 1992 by John Romero.

The FITF demo release shows also a Lick replacement from the mod Episode Dash created by Xky Rauh.
