Plan your next We Were Here Forever session

Our guide helps you master the cooperative challenges of We Were Here Forever without relying on hidden tricks. By focusing on clear communication, puzzle roles, and platform settings, you’ll navigate Castle Rock’s mysteries efficiently and enjoy the narrative together.

01 / THE GUIDE

Establish a Voice Protocol

Before entering a new area, decide on concise descriptors for directions and objects. This reduces ambiguity when describing complex environments and speeds up puzzle resolution.

  • Speak slowly and point out landmarks to avoid confusion.
  • Confirm each instruction before acting to reduce missteps.

02 / THE GUIDE

Assign Observation and Action Roles

Designate one player to scout and describe surroundings while the other manipulates switches or items. Rotate roles periodically to keep both engaged and prevent fatigue.

  • Assign one player to focus on observation, the other on manipulation.
  • Use the walkie‑talkie to verify each step before proceeding.

03 / THE GUIDE

Synchronize Audio Settings

Use the custom volume controls to balance walkie‑talkie audio with game sounds, ensuring you hear each other clearly even during tense moments.

  • Pay attention to environmental clues that hint at the larger plot.
  • Discuss story theories with your partner to stay aligned.

04 / THE GUIDE

Leverage Cloud Saves

Enable Steam Cloud and periodically verify save synchronization after major milestones to avoid losing progress if a connection drops.

  • Enable Steam Cloud before playing to avoid lost progress.
  • Check that both players have a stable internet connection.

05 / THE GUIDE

Utilize Subtitles for Redundancy

Activate subtitles as a backup to voice communication; they can confirm critical instructions when background noise interferes with the microphone.

  • Adjust subtitle size for easier reading while listening.
  • Test controller input before a session to ensure responsiveness.
