To go along with the story is a fantastic soundtrack, though. I won’t go into spoiler territory, but how the stories all run parallel and eventually join is well done. What’s interesting is that depending on what location you are, the story may vary. The story does evolve into something from left field, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but wasn’t totally clear until maybe two-thirds of the way through it. It starts off simple enough, with you and your partner needing to find a missing hiker that has sent a distress signal that’s partially picked up by the radio in the hut you find yourself in. These puzzles do have a purpose, even if it is not entirely clear from the off, in taking you through the story in We Were Here Together. It really would have been helpful to have a hint system after a certain time. As these puzzles need crystal clear communication between the players, if something isn’t obvious then it’s a failure of communication or misunderstanding in describing surroundings. In one chapter you’re left in a room with a handful of puzzles, no logical progression, and even some with little to no clue to how to get to the solution. That would often be the case here, but there were a few frustrating exceptions to that rule. It’s fair to assume that once a puzzle is complete that the solution ties in with the beginning of the next one. But there was a handful that made no sense and led to a fair bit of frustration, along with one particular level where the puzzles didn’t follow a natural progression. The majority of them were good and there was plenty of guidance found that made it clear what was needed to be done. I did have an issue with some of the puzzles, unfortunately. There are a variety of puzzles to keep you going through all ten chapters. I love a good puzzle, and for the most part I really enjoyed my time making my way through We Were Here Together. We Were Here Together is an interesting game. It hasn’t deviated from its predecessors in that it’s an online-only co-op, first person puzzler with communication taking place via the in-game walkie-talkies. And this is the third game in the We Were Here series from Total Mayhem Games: We Were Here Together. Video games aren’t exempt from this as there are numerous examples of similar “escape the room” themed games. Whether it’s a team building trip for work, a day out with the family, or if it’s just to prove you can escape a certain room faster than those teams you’ve seen posted on social media. Escape rooms have increased in popularity in the past few years.
