Plan your next We Were Here Too session
Our guide helps pairs master the cooperative flow of We Were Here Too, focusing on clear communication, role awareness, and puzzle strategy without relying on external tools or paid upgrades.
01 / THE GUIDE
Voice Clarity Drill
Spend a few minutes describing a simple room to your partner without visual cues. This builds the habit of precise, concise narration essential for later puzzles.
- Speak clearly and describe objects in detail to avoid misinterpretation.
- Confirm each other's instructions before acting to prevent wasted attempts.
02 / THE GUIDE
Role Reversal Practice
Swap locations after a short segment to experience both sides of the asymmetrical setup, improving empathy for the partner’s perspective.
- Take notes of landmarks unique to your side for quick reference.
- Ask your partner about their environment when you reach a dead end.
03 / THE GUIDE
Multiple‑Solution Exploration
Attempt a puzzle using at least two different methods, noting how each approach changes the required communication pattern.
- Experiment with different approaches; the game does not force a single solution.
- Coordinate timing with your partner to trigger cause‑and‑effect mechanisms.
04 / THE GUIDE
Audio Balance Test
Adjust custom volume sliders while a partner talks, ensuring game sounds never drown out voice chat, then lock in the optimal levels.
- Adjust subtitle settings if background noise interferes with voice chat.
- Use the custom volume sliders to balance game sounds and voice communication.
05 / THE GUIDE
Cross‑Platform Sync
Play a session where one player uses Windows and the other macOS, confirming that progress and voice chat remain seamless across systems.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep your progress when switching computers.
- Check controller compatibility settings if you prefer gamepad input.
