Every year Steam offers the opportunity for games to enter the Steam Awards. This year we would like to ask you all to help nominate We Were here Together for the 'Labor of Love' award. It's a long shot, but who knows the King might be able to reach for it.

[h2]Holidays, holidays, holidays![/h2]
If you and your co-op partner have been exploring the basecamp. you might find some different decorations than you normally would. Like some nice chocolate letters, a certain staff and 'pepernoten'. It is a Dutch tradition called 'Sinterklaas' that we celebrate every year on December 5th!


But don't worry, because the explorers like big feasts as much as the next, so they'll sure be celebrating thanksgiving!

[h2]Boo![/h2]
No worries, it’s just us! That time of the year has come where scares are all the rage, but nothing is really frightening when you are with a co-op partner… right? We would welcome you to Castle Rock to try out this theory! During the Steam Halloween sale, you can venture to the Antarctic in We Were Here Together for 30% off, be sure to look inside the basecamp for some spooky decorations you might find!

How is everyone doing? It's been a busy month but we've been making steady progress. In fact, we can finally reveal some exciting news... at the end of this post ;)

[h2]What are we up to right now?[/h2]
We can tell you that we're participating in the Tokyo Game Show this year, with some awesome news! If you aren't following the event, you can find it at the end of this post as well. The Tokyo Game Show is always an exciting event with some big announcements and trailers to enjoy - and we're always curious to see what's popular in other parts of the world. We'd love to attract new We Were Here fans from Japan and Asia more generally! If you'd like to check out the event yourself, Inverse has a nice article on how and when to watch.

Which announcements are you hyped for?

How the show looked in years past. It's all online for 2020.

[h2]Are you a notetaker? [/h2]
Some of the puzzles in our games can be more easily solved with the aid of pen and paper, as player QAQAQAQAQ has discovered. Some great drawings here!



We're pleased to see people taking notes, because the We Were Here series is inspired in part by the legacy of classic adventure game Myst - did you know that Myst actually came with a notepad in the game box itself! You can see a cool image of someone's notes from this fun Reddit thread!

[h2]Last but not least...[/h2]

We have a great announcement for console fans today - those of you following our social media might already have figured it out - the We Were Here series is coming to PlayStation 4 soon! No dates yet, but we'll let you know whenever we have something firmed up. Follow our social media for all the latest news and We Were Here developments! And don't forget: keep your eyes open, because we will probably have more hidden messages in the coming months...

Do you see the circle in this image? There were four other images that had a triangle, cross and square. Put them together, and you got the PS4 controller buttons!

We released an update today which fixes a couple of issues with the Steam rich presence display, and adjusts the Russian translation on the final puzzle to be more clear. It also adds localization support for a bunch of new languages!
