We Were Here Together News

[p]As 2025 comes to an end, it feels like the perfect moment to pause, look back, and reflect on everything we’ve experienced together this year. Most of all, we want to thank you, our Explorers, for yet another year filled with kindness, enthusiasm, and unwavering support. None of this would be possible without you.[/p][p]To celebrate the holidays, we’ll be hosting a series of festive giveaways from December 22nd through December 26th over on Twitter/X and Instagram. Be sure to keep an eye on our socials during that time if you’d like a chance to win some awesome surprises. But before we look ahead, let’s rewind and revisit some of the major milestones that shaped our year. [/p][h3]A New Home for Total Mayhem Games[/h3][p]This year, we truly made our new Total Mayhem Games office our own and it finally feels like home. From creative chaos to cozy corners, it’s been amazing to build a space where ideas can grow. Curious to see how it all came together? You can check out our moving vlog over on YouTube![/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h3]Expanding the Adventure to Nintendo Switch[/h3][p]One of our biggest milestones this year was bringing the first three We Were Here games to Nintendo Switch, complete with cross-play across multiple platforms. As an indie studio, this was a huge achievement for us, and we’re incredibly proud to welcome even more explorers into Castle Rock, no matter where or how they play.[/p][h3]Best Friends, Worst Friends… Soft Friends![/h3][p]We also had a wonderful collaboration with Makeship, bringing the Best Friend and Worst Friend plushies to life. Seeing them find warm new homes (and even join us on a few Rotterdam adventures) has been an absolute joy. We hope they’re causing just the right amount of chaos wherever they’ve landed.[/p][p][/p][h3]Steam Winter Sale[/h3][p]Of course, the year wouldn’t be complete without the Steam Winter Sale. All of our games are currently on sale, so if you’ve been looking for the perfect excuse to gift a friend a co-op adventure, or finally complete your own collection, now’s the time!
