description We Were Here Overview
We Were Here is a first-person cooperative puzzle adventure set in a mysterious Antarctic castle. Two players are separated and must communicate via walkie-talkie to solve interconnected puzzles, with each player having different information and abilities. The game creates intense reliance on verbal communication as players describe what they see and coordinate their actions. The atmospheric horror elements and cryptic puzzles create memorable moments of triumph when solutions are found.
The original game and its sequels have built a dedicated fanbase around pure cooperative puzzle-solving.
help We Were Here FAQ
Can We Were Here be played alone or with local split-screen?
No, the original We Were Here is designed for exactly two online players with separate viewpoints. Each player needs a device and must communicate because neither person sees all the clues.
Why does We Were Here use walkie-talkie communication?
One player often has symbols, maps, or instructions that the other player needs to operate a puzzle elsewhere in Castle Rock. The push-to-talk radio supports one speaker at a time, which intentionally creates misunderstandings and pressure.
Which game comes after the original We Were Here?
The direct follow-up is We Were Here Too, followed by We Were Here Together and We Were Here Forever. We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip is a shorter later entry built around cooperative trials.
Do both players need to own We Were Here?
Both players need access to the game on compatible systems, although the original launched as a free title on Steam. Cross-platform support varies across entries, so players should check the specific game rather than the series as a whole.
