We Were Here Together review

We Were Here Together is the best escape game for two people who want communication to be the puzzle. Total Mayhem Games splits the players up, gives each a walkie-talkie, and builds puzzles where one person sees the clue and the other sees the lock. The story moves from an Antarctic research base to the haunted Castle Rock, with a mysterious figure called the Jester at its center. Steam lists cross-platform multiplayer between Windows and Mac and support for 22 languages. The format is strict: the game is co-op only, and both players need a working microphone and an internet connection. The minimum PC spec calls for a GTX 1060 class graphics card, which is higher than most picks here. A good way to test the format is the series' first episode, We Were Here, which Steam lists as a free pilot. We compared documented features and published prices.
