We Were Here Foreverhas been available to PC gamers since May of this year. It retains the franchise’s signature online co-op focused puzzle solving, with players having to communicate with each other to escape a foreboding Antarctic castle. It’s one of the rare games, likeHazelight’sIt Takes Two, that must be played in co-op - there is no single-player options available. It should also be pointed out thatWe Were Here Foreverdoes not have any local co-op options either, so anyone interested in playing through it must do so online.
