We Were Here Forever
You and your fellow prisoner are trapped in the realm of Castle Rock – were you betrayed, or simply not that clever? To escape, you must explore the sinister castle for puzzles and plot your escape together. Secrets and riddles are hidden in the shadows. Just be aware that nothing is what it seems in this mysterious Antarctic adventure. Can you two escape together, or will you be trapped… forever?
Locked up in the dungeons, deep in the bowels of Castle Rock, you and a fellow prisoner must seek a way out and return to stand again beneath the icy Antarctic skies – but escaping this nightmare will not be so easy, let alone escaping the castle itself. Freeing yourselves from your cells and escaping the Keep is only the beginning – but does one truly escape Castle Rock? Fresh mysteries await, and you’ll have to make some choices about how to proceed. Your journey leads from the dark prison through the royal halls to the outside. Outside the Keep, you will discover the story of Rockbury, it’s inhabitants, and plans of a resistance formed against the King to escape this icy place. Hope will lead you on to an eerie Graveyard and have you descend down into the dark waters of the Foundry.
You two have been brought here for a purpose. You might even be the missing piece of a puzzle set in motion long ago, in a time long forgotten. But someone, or something, desperately seeks to solve that puzzle, by any means necessary. Only an unshakeable bond with your partner will give you any hope of survival in the face of such dreadful desire…
Does one truly escape Castle Rock?

my best friend dragged me into this game series some few ears ago, and it really wasn't my cup of tea - i'm not built for puzzle games, i'm aphantasiac or whatever, i'm not very clever on this sorta deal at all, nor am i interested. i suffered through we were here, we were here too, and found most of my fun in being with my friend, albeit frustrated with my inability to puzzle and the occasional blunders of the design itself. we were here together was a marked improvement. i got to see my friend. i understood the puzzles better. i got stuck and we took a break for basically a year and i still came out liking the game (hating the end, i always hate the endings).
today, we finished we were here forever, and i can't help but leave this review. it isn't a perfect laud, for which i apologize, but your game struck me hard this time. i guess. the puzzles, the story, the animation. i don't know. i'm happy to recommend this game now. i feel a lot. good game.

This series is one of the best on steam. Puzzles are just hard enough to get you to really think or be mad at your friend for not thinking and if you did something wrong of course it wasnt your fault it was the games.

This whole series is a standout in the puzzle genre, offering a series of cleverly designed challenges that strike the perfect balance between difficulty and satisfaction. Each puzzle feels well-crafted and purposeful, encouraging creative thinking without ever crossing into frustration. The game consistently rewards patience and problem-solving, making every solved puzzle feel like a genuine achievement. It’s a thoughtful, engaging experience that keeps your mind active and leaves a lasting impression.
I've played through every single one of the games in the series and will continue to do so as they are released, amazing games these are.
Give it a shot if you're into escape rooms, puzzles or things that make ya think.

Great co-op puzzle game, we had a lot of fun. The puzzles are well thought out and engaging, atmospheres are decent, didn't encounter any bugs/glitches. I could say it's slightly short, but certainly don't regret the purchase - we also solved the puzzles fairly quickly, I think.
