About We Were Here Too
We Were Here Too is an online first‑person cooperative adventure set in a fictional medieval castle. Two players, each in different parts of the ruined fortress, must rely on walkie‑talkies and voice communication to solve puzzles and escape. The game emphasizes teamwork, observation, and a shared mystery that unfolds through asymmetrical locations and an original soundtrack.
01 / THE GUIDE
Cooperative Communication
Players are separated in the castle and can only interact via walkie‑talkies, making voice the primary tool for sharing information. Successful puzzle solving depends on describing surroundings and listening to the partner’s observations.
Both participants need a working PC‑compatible microphone, and the game requires both players to be online simultaneously. The design ensures that each player acts as the other’s eyes and ears throughout the experience.
- Speak clearly and describe objects in detail to avoid misinterpretation.
- Confirm each other's instructions before acting to prevent wasted attempts.
02 / THE GUIDE
Asymmetrical Roles
Each player experiences a unique location and storyline, creating distinct perspectives that must be combined to progress. The separate environments contain clues that only the opposite side can see.
Because the roles differ, players must constantly exchange information to piece together the larger picture of Castle Rock’s mystery.
- 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
Puzzle Design
The game features brain‑teasing puzzles embedded in the castle’s environments, with multiple solutions that can vary between playthroughs. This encourages creative thinking and replayability.
Puzzles often require synchronised actions, such as manipulating objects in one area while the other observes the result.
- Experiment with different approaches; the game does not force a single solution.
- Coordinate timing with your partner to trigger cause‑and‑effect mechanisms.

Audio‑Visual Immersion
Castle Rock is presented with an original soundtrack and ambient sounds that reinforce the abandoned, storm‑riven atmosphere. Visuals depict a medieval fortress frozen in time.
Subtitle options and custom volume controls let players tailor the audio experience, while controller support offers alternative input methods.
- Adjust subtitle settings if background noise interferes with voice chat.
- Use the custom volume sliders to balance game sounds and voice communication.
