When We Were Here was released, who knew that years later we would be releasing the third game in the series? Not us! But here we are, and We Were Here Together is out now! It has more of the cooperative puzzle solving and exploration that you know and love, this time with more story, more locations, and just... more.
Start out at the base camp...
The game is available on Steam for $12.99 / €12.99. There is a 5% launch discount, and everyone who has played one of the earlier We Were Here games will get an extra 10% discount!
A We Were Here Together Supporter Edition is available, containing a special walkie-talkie skin, beautiful artworks designed especially for desktop or phone backgrounds, and almost an hour of music! For newcomers or those looking to complete their We Were Here collection, check out the We Were Here Series Bundle! It does what it says on the can, with all three games, two supporter editions, and every soundtrack in one great deal.
At the start of the game, you and your partner will be able to walk around together, looking for clues and solving puzzles. There's an epic journey ahead of you, from the warmth of the base camp through the Antarctic wastes to the sinister Castle Rock. Inside, you'll get split up.
Travel through the icy wastes...
...and who knows where you'll end up?
From then on, you and your partner will really have to test your communication skills to their limits, sharing your asymmetric perspectives to figure out puzzles together. Keep your eyes open, keep talking, and you might just make it out in one piece.
We Were Here and We Were Here Too have been enjoyed by more than 2,000,000 players on Steam since their releases, and We Were Here Together improves on the classic formula. Visit outside Castle Rock for the first time, collect items for your inventory, and spend time with your partner, exploring side by side… for a time. As requested, there is more story than ever before, including a third explorer trapped inside Castle Rock who says they have a way to escape – can you trust them?
What’s new?
Even closer coop – you won’t always be split up from your partner this time. Explore together, try both sides of a puzzle for a different perspective, it’s up to you! Just don’t get too comfortable - Castle Rock has some tricks waiting for you…
The great outdoors – puzzle outside Castle Rock for the first time, from the deceptively cosy expedition base camp through imposing sub-zero valleys to breath-taking frozen caves.
Gadgets won’t save you - but they might help! Figure out how to use new equipment and gather an inventory of curious items to solve puzzles and progress towards the fateful finale in We Were Here Together.
You aren’t alone in Castle Rock – and this time you get to meet a fellow explorer who is trapped inside. Could they know a way out… and can you trust them?
Thanks to our wonderful community for all the support! We wouldn’t have made it without you. As for our alpha and beta testers – you will be getting special walkie-talkie skins and a place in the credits for going above and beyond!
We hope you'll all come along together with us for the third entry – We Were Here Together!

Progress is also going great on our new game, We Were Here Together! Check out this screenshot from the demo we ran at EGX! Probably much cosier than you're used to, right?
We just got back from a great time at EGX in London - perhaps you came by to play the new We Were Here Together demo, or spotted our t-shirts or beanies around the show!
If you did and you liked what you saw, or if you didn't and are curious, we are thrilled to announce that our official merchandise store is live and open for orders! Get your very own walkie-talkie phone cases, warm hats, and t-shirts with Jester artwork right now!
We had such a good time at EGX last year that we are returning to Rezzed London this week! You can find us at our stand SV6B (1-4) in the South Vaults from April 4-6. We have new and unseen puzzles in a new area of the game to show off, so come check it out even if you came by at EGX. Hope to see you there!
We Were Here Merch!
Walkie-talkie iPhone cases and We Were Here beanies made their debut at EGX last year, and now you can get one of your own - not to mention new Jester t-shirts!
Early Puzzle Testers
Development on We Were Here Together is going well, and the feedback from our current testers has been very helpful. So much so that we’re looking to invite a few more people to test our work-in-progress builds of the game! Read all about it in our earlier post!
Hello Antarctic explorers! We are looking for more people to give feedback on our early versions of new puzzles for the next game in the series: We Were Here Together. The testing will be done between April 5th and May 3rd. If you think that you and a friend might be up for it, read on!
How will it work?
We will release a new puzzle every Friday. The first puzzle will be released on the 5th of April at 19:00. The last puzzle will be released on the 3rd of May. Puzzles are fully playable for two people, but not yet polished to the high standard you can expect from us in the final release. When you are selected, we will assign you a single puzzle / area to play in a particular week, based on when you’re available. More time may be granted for testing if we decide a puzzle could benefit from additional testing and feedback.
On top of having the opportunity to see new puzzles develop, testers will get credited in the game with their Steam profile name. The first 100 applicants who fit our requirements will be accepted into the testing program. If you aren’t one of the first 100, don't feel disappointed yet as we might still ask you to join testing in the future if it turns out that we need additional testers.
How can I join?
There has been a lot of interest in testing the game, and therefore we're closing applications for now. Thanks to everyone who has mailed us and you will all receive an answer, but it might take a bit longer than expected due to the volume of requests. Thanks for your patience!
Include the following:
Your Steam profile name.
Your partner’s Steam profile name.
A short explanation of why you two want to join the testing and why you think you could be helpful.
Which weeks (running from Friday to Thursday) you and your partner are available for testing.
Note that, depending on the test, you will spend between 30 minutes and two hours on testing. After you submit your email we’ll get back to you with more information. You and your partner don’t both need to submit an email, one between you is enough!
Please note that there are certain requirements that will be used to determine who will be selected for puzzle testing. Requirements:
You have to be able to play the game in at least one of the weeks within the given timeframe.
You have played We Were Here (Too) for at least an hour.
Your Steam profile level is at least level 4.
Your Steam profile is visible to us, so we can check these requirements.
You have to be able to record both video and the audio of your playing session, and send them to us.
You are able to give written feedback to us about your experience playing an early puzzle
You will also be asked to agree to the following NDA:
Non-Disclosure Agreement In taking part in this early testing, you agree not to share information, screenshots, or video relating to the puzzles you experience. It goes without saying that the magic of the game is figuring out the puzzles with a friend, so we need to control what information is released before the game comes out. We hope you understand and appreciate your cooperation!
Our current testers have been exceptional with their comments and suggestions, and we’re hugely grateful. If you’d like to join them, we look forward to hearing from you!
The newest entry, We Were Here Together, has been announced and is now available for wishlisting on Steam! The release is planned for early next year!
Check out the trailer and let the jester tell you a little more about the history of Castle Rock! https://youtu.be/m3bb0G0pA6E Visit the expedition base camp for the first time in We Were Here Together, before returning to the sinister Castle Rock once more. The latest game features more backstory hidden within the castle halls. Remember that you can play the games in any order you like! What can you discover about the expedition itself? Is this really just another attempt to map the unknown areas of icy Antarctica, or is something more involved? Most importantly, will you be able to escape from the jester?
Make sure to add We Were Here Together to your wishlist now!
We have very exciting news to share, as the next part of the We Were Here series is out today - another pair of Antarctic explorers find themselves trapped in the mysterious Castle Rock, and only by communicating will they be able to solve the puzzles preventing their escape! https://youtu.be/M4if6X__JZc You don’t need to have played the original We Were Here to enjoy We Were Here Too. Both games are set in the same world and both contain clues as to the dark history of Castle Rock. First person cooperative puzzles await you and a partner as you find yourselves trapped and split up inside an ancient medieval castle in the wastes of Antarctica.
