We Were Here Forever
You and your friend are trapped in the realm of Castle Rock with no way out - were you betrayed, or simply not that clever? Work together to explore and solve puzzles in this mysterious Antarctic adventure. Be aware, nothing is what it seems - there are dark secrets hidden in the shadows. Will you be able to escape?
The newest entry in the We Were Here Series is coming…
No need to wait around though! Try the other games in the series: there is much to discover in Castle Rock, as you’ll see in We Were Here , We Were Here Too , and We Were Here Together .
Every game in the We Were Here Series is a standalone co-op adventure – the stories are connected but you don’t need to play them in order.
Feature list
-
Two player co-op: the puzzles you encounter take two to solve - you both have a role to play! Communicate via walkie-talkies, and act as each other’s eyes and ears
-
Connect through experience: when you find yourself in sudden danger, will you freeze, or can you keep cool and explain things clearly to your friend - before your time runs out…
-
On the edge of your seat: be part of a thrilling adventure in the lively world of Castle Rock as you and your friend take on the ancient powers aligned against you
-
Spine-tingling story: there is much to discover… and much to fear - you’ve met the Jester, but is he even the most powerful being within the walls of Castle Rock?
NOTE: This game is co-op only. It requires both players to have a working PC-compatible microphone and an internet connection.

Needs more development time and testing alot of stuff only half works and the inventory system needs alot of work. They need to change the inventory system as well as change the way your character gets energy replenished, it is currently too tedious to eat/drink. Cannot recommend this game, especially at that price. I see what they were going for and it is a cool concept, but for the price there is much better games for the same if not cheaper. I would like to recommend this game and give a good review, but in its current state I cannot. Hopefully it will get better and I think they should take ideas from games like Space Engineers on how to execute this games functions much better. For now this review will remain negative until much needed improvements are made.

– Real player with 2.1 hrs in game
okay so first off I’m going to start by saying I’m glad i got this for 1.99
been playing this with my two friends and here is my experience
All the music in the menu is taken from labyrinthe, even the voice of the duck in the tutorial is taken from labyrinthe
The ghost models are from phasmophobia,
I chose to play hotel with my friends, only i was in the hotel while they were floating round my screen and they were in a totally different map, the EMF reader don’t seem to work nor does the thermometer, there is no clear indication as to whether or not your friend is ready or not ready when you click the ready button.

ICARUS
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2672308258
To start I tried to avoid all info and most betas of this to go in fresh without any prior opinion or jaded by the opinions of others and I must say… this game is a giant piece of crap.
Runs like trash on a 3080/5900x, 32 Gigs DDR4, and on a NVME SSD to start which doesn’t help. Enemies lack proper pathing, AI spawn out of the air on top of you in scripted “missions”, had 2 bears land on top of me, then figured it was coming the 2nd time and 4 wolves pop out of the air… difference being this time I got them all stuck on each other and they sorta made a wolf pyramid while I sniped at them.

15 hours of play time later edit: Still running smooth, still a lot of fun, has thirty dollars worth of content in my honest opinion. Running 8 player missions is still hilarious.
Oh jeez okay Icarus. Well right off the bat 10/10 is my score for it. 100 out of 100, it’s exactly what I wanted when I first saw the silly trailer a few years back.
Tl;dr: PVE survival game with good coop, good character growth options, fun stuff, decent gameplay loop, really dedicated dev team. I’ve spent more money on far worse games that got less play time than the beta of this game.
