![]() Observation, smart communication and teamwork will be the only way to escape from the sinister Castle Rock. 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. If only you knew what you were getting into…įrom the research base camp you’ll need to figure out a way to get to the source of the distress flare. Your fellow Antarctic explorers are in trouble, and the two of you left at base camp must work together to launch a rescue mission. It all begins with an emergency flare lighting up the sky and a distress call waking you from uneasy dreams. They seem to be made that way, especially timed sections.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 made us call ‘bs’ when we were done with them. They’re created that you have to die a couple of times in order to even see the solution. Some levels did prompt frustration because they couldn’t be solved on the first try. Granted, I’m not doing puzzles all the time, so I’m probably not the best at them, but I did get a sense that there was no way to solve it without failing. The way it’s created, some levels will force you to fail multiple times in order to get to the result. This is absolutely terrific for a puzzle game. So, forget what you’ve learned the previous level because it won’t help you on the next one. ![]() You’ll hardly run into the same type of system twice. While We Were Here Together is not long by any means (it only has 10 chapters), the puzzles are varied enough that you don’t notice.Įach one of them is unique and challenges the players in different ways. They’re beautiful, creative, entertaining, and the challenge scales nicely the further you get into the game. We’ve done this at the very last one, as it was obviously made by someone who wanted us to suffer. If you share visuals through photos, then it all comes together and it’s basically takes away half of the puzzle. It can become very frustrating, but the payoff is big when you hear that acoustic guitar announcing you’ve beaten the puzzle. On the other, how can she describe the elongated star-like triangle as a ‘sun’ while the sun is clearly the big circle symbol surrounded by other tiny circles?! Because the sun is a star, of course… On one hand, pronouncing some of the made-up words or describing highly abstract paintings can be funny. This is where the fun and frustration start. You’re both in separate rooms, without an option to see what the other is looking at, so you’ll have to be very descriptive and try to figure out which details are important. Then again, she was the one being drowned or electrocuted, so it’s all about perspective, I guess.Īs I said before and I will repeat, We Were here Together is all about communication. You could argue the pressure was sometimes a little heavier on my side. My friend happened to always be the one who needed saving while I had to quickly scramble to figure out my puzzle before she died. ![]() You can’t help your friend through their section of the puzzle, so you’ll have to keep communicating what you see in order to help them out. Get out a piece of paper and a pen and start jotting things down. So, don’t think you’ll be on your phone scrolling through Facebook when the challenge becomes too tough while your friend figures it out. It makes both players completely engaged in the puzzles. ![]() This is one of the best things about the game. Why? Because, ironically, We Were Here Together actually separates you and your friend, often outside of each other’s sight. In We Were Here Together, you have to play together and each of you needs to figure out their own section of the puzzle. Unlike most co-op games, this one won’t make you stare at puzzle for 10 minutes until one of you yells “eureka!” and then guides the other player through it.
