How co-op works
Two-player online co-op built around interdependent escape-room puzzles. Each prisoner explores, finds clues, and operates mechanisms unavailable to the other, using walkie-talkies as mutual eyes and ears to coordinate solutions, including under time pressure.
About this game
We Were Here Forever is a strictly two-player co-op puzzle game set inside the dark, sprawling halls of Castle Rock. You and your partner wake up imprisoned in separate areas, and the only tool you have is voice communication. One player might see a wall of symbols while the other finds a corresponding mechanism, and neither puzzle piece makes sense alone.

Every challenge revolves around precision puzzle solving. You describe levers, decipher cryptic murals, and relay environmental clues until both of you can act in sync to open the next gate. The satisfaction comes when fragmented observations suddenly click into a unified solution, often after minutes of back-and-forth theorizing and careful coordination.
Online co-op is the sole multiplayer mode, and cross-platform matchmaking lets you pair with friends across different PC storefronts. Sessions stretch across hours as you methodically work through the castle's labyrinth, demanding patience, clear communication, and a partner who enjoys deliberate, atmospheric teamwork over frantic action.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does precision puzzle solving actually work in We Were Here Forever?
Each puzzle splits information between you and your partner. One player might see a series of symbols on a wall while the other encounters levers in a different room. You describe what you're looking at, compare notes over voice chat, and piece together the logic until both players can perform the correct actions simultaneously. Success hinges on clear communication and careful observation rather than reflexes.
Is the co-op in We Were Here Forever more about clever puzzle solving than fast reactions?
We Were Here Forever looks better matched to groups that enjoy precision puzzle solving, where figuring things out together matters more than raw speed or constant combat.
