We Were Here Too

About

We Were Here Too is a co-op puzzle game where two players navigate separate parts of a cursed medieval castle using only a walkie-talkie to communicate. One partner explores a decaying royal court while the other navigates a tomb, solving environmental puzzles that require teamwork to unlock. Success depends on clear communication since direct interaction is impossible, you guide each other through traps, hidden passages, and spectral threats that escalate as the castle resists your escape. The game leans into its 16th-century setting with gothic aesthetics and eerie atmosphere, though mechanics focus squarely on the challenge of coordination. Community ratings highlight its clever puzzle design and tense co-op dynamics, with a 82% Metacritic score and 4.5/5 average on Steam. Available on PC, consoles, and Switch, it supports local and online play but requires a friend to crack the castle’s secrets. The 2018 release remains a staple for players who enjoy tight teamwork and spooky environments.

Storyline

In 1536, there was a vivid kingdom, ruled by King Bartholomeus of Amber-Adelaide and his family. It was the time of monarchs and the king made sure that was well known. He ruled together with his wife, Queen Leonora and his two daughters, and got advice from his 4 generals, whose loyalty was questionable. Then death drew a veil of melancholy through the halls of Castle Rock and made them colder than ever before. In We Were Here Too, you and your partner go back to Castle Rock to rescue your friends from the quarters of the first general: Warden Brutus. Dark secrets are unveiled when you enter the castle. Once a place of death, now the spirits of the lost ones return to their home and they make sure you won’t leave the castle… alive.
