About We Were Here Tomorrow
In *We Were Here Tomorrow*, two Explorers awaken in a Norček Industries facility buried beneath Antarctic ice. A global crisis looms, and the charismatic Director Kathleen Bowe asks the pair to finish unfinished research, prompting a race against time to uncover the facility’s secrets.
The game is built around asymmetrical co‑op puzzles that bend time, gravity and space. Players rely exclusively on walkie‑talkie communication, describing what they see and sharing discoveries to progress through a retro‑futuristic 80s‑style world accompanied by a synthwave soundtrack.
02 / THE GUIDE
Asymmetrical Co‑op Puzzling
Each Explorer experiences a unique portion of the facility, receiving distinct visual information and interactive elements. The puzzles manipulate rules of time, gravity and space, requiring both viewpoints to be combined for a solution.
Because the challenges are asymmetrical, no single player can complete them alone. Success hinges on trusting the partner’s observations and coordinating actions through the walkie‑talkie channel.
- Take quick notes of your surroundings to relay details efficiently.
- Pause to discuss possible interpretations before acting on a puzzle element.
03 / THE GUIDE
Two Distinct Roles
Players are assigned different high‑tech tools, each with its own function within the facility. These tools must be used creatively in tandem to overcome obstacles that neither could solve alone.
The separation of roles reinforces collaboration; each player’s equipment complements the other’s capabilities, making the exchange of tool status essential for progress.
- Identify your tool’s primary function early to plan its use.
- Share any tool limitations with your partner to avoid dead ends.
04 / THE GUIDE
Retro‑Futuristic Setting
The facility is imagined as an 80s future, blending cold Antarctic aesthetics with retro‑futuristic technology. Striking environments and a nostalgic synthwave soundtrack reinforce the retro vibe throughout the game.
Exploring these areas reveals clues about Norček Industries’ experiments and the missing research team, deepening the mystery and providing context for the puzzles.
- Observe environmental details; they often hint at puzzle solutions.
- Let the soundtrack guide your pacing, as calmer moments may hide subtle clues.

Platform and Controller Support
The game runs on Windows PCs and lists DualShock, DualSense and partial controller support, alongside cross‑platform multiplayer, Steam achievements and family sharing. These features are documented as part of the official release.
Even with controller support, the core experience relies on voice communication, so ensuring a functional microphone is more critical than the choice of input device.
- Test your controller before a session to confirm it registers correctly.
- Steam achievements can track your progress across playthroughs.
