We Were Here Together

We Were Here Together is the third game in Total Mayhem's two-player co-op puzzle series. You and a partner start at an Antarctic research camp, answer a distress flare, and end up split apart inside the haunted Castle Rock, home of a sinister figure called the Jester. Your only link is a walkie-talkie, so every puzzle depends on describing what you see to someone who cannot see it. It suits pairs of friends with microphones who want a long, demanding co-op night.

Players rate it as one of the better co-op puzzle games, and many call the volume of content a step up from earlier entries. Unlike the first two games, you spend more time together, which changes how puzzles are built. Reviewers stress that it rewards patience and a partner you communicate well with.

The frustrations are consistent: puzzles give little feedback, so working out what a puzzle even wants is often harder than solving it, and some solutions feel like guesswork. A timed ending, cutscenes replayed after checkpoints and connection drops also draw complaints, and public lobbies are mostly empty. Expect five to eight hours. Recommended for established co-op partners; bring a friend, not a stranger.
