We Were Here Together News

Welcome to another edition of Walkie-Talk! In a previous post we showed you an image of the inside of Scott’s hut in Antarctica which we used for inspiration. What about the outside of the base camp though?

Here’s an example of what we were thinking of as a base for the exterior look. A pretty classic log cabin, with some useful odds and ends scattered around outside. However, a building like this alone would be a little dull, and we wanted to spice things up a little with some light steampunk elements.

An early version of the base camp viewed in Unity.

And what says steampunk more than pipes? Along with nice chunky windows, the satellite dish antennas, and fuel tanks, our base camp is recognizable while still having a personality of its own. Remember, this isn’t all just eye-candy - you and your partner have puzzles to solve at the base camp.

The base camp area as it looks today!

Here’s the final product! Adding colour makes a big difference, and you can see we removed some of the pipes and tanks from the base camp itself and moved them to a new section, seen in the foreground here. That’s all for now!

There's only one week to go before we release We Were Here Together to the world!

The game will be sold for $12.99. Players of earlier We Were Here games will get a 10% discount. This means if you buy We Were Here Too (which just happens to be 50% off right now) you'll get 10% off We Were Here Together!


We would like to once again express our gratitude to everyone who has joined our alpha and beta tests. Your feedback has been truly invaluable. We split up puzzles into a series of different playtest sessions so as not to give away the plot of the game, and we appreciate the patience from everyone playing in this unusual way! Tester comments have helped us improve the puzzles themselves, how people navigate through the new environments, and to generally polish everything up even more.

By way of saying thanks, we will be granting special custom walkie-talkie skins to all testers! Alpha testers will get a bronze walkie talkie skin and beta testers a silver one. Check them out!

Aren't they beautiful?


Both We Were Here and We Were Here Too are out on Xbox One, where they've had a great reception. Today we can announce that We Were Here Together will also get an Xbox One release! When? We'll let you know as soon as we can!


And you can expect more exciting reveals and activities before release day! Keep up to date on our social media channels as well as here on Steam. There's still time to add We Were Here Together to your wishlist - get a notification when the game launches and make sure not to miss the loyalty discount!

That's €2, $2, or £1.50!
Way to break the combo, £££.

The game is packed with coop puzzling where creative communication is a requirement! Split up in the ancient Castle Rock, can you and your partner solve the many conundrums in your path and make it out in one piece? Warm up those walkie-talkies and let's find out!

Make new friends! Probably not with this guy.

We have completed another beta testing session, including some in person tests and tests with people who aren't so familiar with the series. Thanks to everyone who took part, we got some great feedback :)

The release is on track for later this year, and we can't wait to share a date with you once everything is finalized - these beta tests mark a major step towards that goal! Now, let's reveal a few more details for you all.


Behold a brand new area of Castle Rock, revealed for the first time! It's also the first time you've got a glimpse of the castle from the outside, at least in-game. As the snowfall becomes heavier, even this dark and imposing place can begin to look like a sanctuary. You might know better, but your hapless characters unfortunately do not...

Are you ready to return to Castle Rock? You have never seen this part of the castle before...

Today's new teaser screenshots also show off the new walkie-talkie model for We Were Here Together - we love it already! See how the walkie-talkies have evolved through the three games so far:

From left to right: We Were Here, We Were Here Too, WWHT supporter gold walkie, and We Were Here Together. Which is your favourite?
