About the story
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?

Critic Reviews
STWGames Italia
By Mario RicerniWe Were Here Forever is the latest effort from a team that has listened to feedback to improve and balance its priorities, undertaking a more ambitious project than ever. With solid and fully matured gameplay, this chapter in the series presents a series of high-quality puzzles that will engage the most capable and communicative partners.
GamingTrend
By Ben LombardoWe Were Here Forever is a step back from the rest of the series. It's hard to find the motivation to keep playing when you're completing the same puzzle three, sometimes four times. Quantity doesn't mean quality, and when you're in control of a unique genre like coop puzzlers you don't want to step on the quality of what made this series great. Plus, the lack of a compelling story is disappointing when it's the only thing that's meant to encourage you to keep playing.
TheSixthAxis
By Stefan LWe Were Here Forever certainly grew on us the more we played, with some great brain-teasing puzzles that really make the most of the split player perspectives (though we did give up on the walkie-talkies).
Play Watch Read
By Sylvano WitteWe Were Here Forever does exactly what its previous three predecessors have done: immerse you in complex puzzles and lots of communication. Together with someone else you have to unravel the secrets of Castle Rock. We Were Here Forever looks better and this time crossplay is also possible. The puzzles are challenging again and working together has never been more fun and frustrating at the same time. Some hiccups here and there and a somewhat negligible story. Still, you will mainly play We Were Here Forever for the challenge.
Video Chums
By A.J. MaciejewskiWe Were Here Forever is a phenomenal experience that you and an online friend will thoroughly enjoy, especially if you're into escape rooms. Its puzzles are elaborate, challenging, and, most of all, superbly rewarding even when they're a bit frustrating.
