We Were Here Together
Embark on a puzzle solving adventure in which you and a partner must prove you can communicate and work together to escape the haunted Castle Rock.
It all begins with an emergency flare lighting up the sky and a distress call waking you from uneasy dreams. Your fellow Antarctic explorers are in trouble, and the two of you left at base camp must work together to launch a rescue mission. If only you knew what you were getting into…
From the research base camp you’ll need to figure out a way to get to the source of the distress flare. Once you’re through the frozen Antarctic wastes, you’ll find yourselves separated inside a medieval castle, facing puzzles, secrets, and dangers! You and your partner start out with nothing but your wits and a walkie-talkie each. Observation, smart communication and teamwork will be the only way to escape from the sinister Castle Rock.

We Were Here Together Review
This game, as well as the previous games in the series, are a lot of fun. The puzzles are challenging and require high levels of teamwork. For most puzzles, guessing is not an option. You have to work through it and have great fun problem solving with your friend. For the most part, I highly recommend this game.
But. There are many technical difficulties. It is very difficult to invite a friend to play with you. The game assigns you to a region’s server, and you can only play with people in the same region. The game does not announce this, or explain how to change servers. You’re left figuring out what’s wrong and how to fix it on your own. Once you’re on the same server, even then the game doesn’t always like connecting. My friend would sometimes have to restart the game twice before being allowed to join my game.
Once you are connected, there are still a few issues. Before the final encounter, my friend saw the cutscene that progressed him to the next, while I was left locked in the same room, without a cutscene or a way to progress. We had to restart the game. The many necessary restarts combined with the long startup times and long loading screens made for a very frustrating experience.
The game launched with two achievements unobtainable, one of which will require going back though a long puzzle twice (once for each person) when the achievement is no longer bugged.
This game is really fun! I have played each game in the series, and eagerly await the sequel. There isn’t anything else like it on the market. But there are many frustrating aspects of the game that you have to fight through to get to enjoy it.
