To prepare players for the game’s backstory and offer them a glimpse of We Were Here Forever, Total Mayhem Games is launching a special 6 episode live-action video series called We Were Here Stories: Chronicles of Castle Rock, with the first episode being released today:



Escaping Castle Rock - forever

For a long time now, the cooperative We Were Here series has revolved around escaping Castle Rock. We Were Here Forever ramps up this adventure with new, nonlinear ways to explore the sinister castle together with your partner or friend. Of course, players will also experience an even more intriguing 12+ hour storyline which will lead to a grand finale… With your trusty walkie-talkie as your only means of communication, you and your friend must solve mind-blowing puzzles together to escape once again - or so you hope!

Make your way through previously unseen parts of Castle Rock, and once outside the Keep you will begin to uncover the story of Rockbury: the town’s inhabitants and the escape plans of a resistance formed against the King. Hope will lead you on to an eerie Graveyard and have you descend down into the dark waters of the Foundry. As you do so, you will learn more about past events that have taken place in this mysterious place. While trying to make your escape from Castle Rock in We Were Here Forever, you might start believing what you feared all along. Does one ever truly escape Castle Rock? 

Closed beta testers have already successfully been given free reign over parts of this elusive realm. PC gamers will be able to follow in their footsteps on May 10. Following soon afterwards, console players can take their shot at escaping on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 4 & 5! For those who can’t wait until then, a playable sneak peek will be available on PC at W.A.S.D. in London from 7-9 April 2022, where Total Mayhem Games will have a dedicated stand. 


Once upon a time…

The latest trailer for We Were Here Forever offers a taste of what’s to come for the explorers that have been left behind in the previous games. It reveals the opening cutscene to the game and establishes the sinister atmosphere you can expect in We Were Here Forever. The cryptic riddle alludes to past events that took place in Castle Rock, as well as what lies ahead. And for the first time ever, Total Mayhem Games introduces a new perspective on the We Were Here series, with a live-action video series that tells both back story as well as showing a glimpse of the latest installment, We Were Here Forever

We Were Here Stories: Chronicles of Castle Rock tells the backstory of the cursed castle in the We Were Here game series through the eyes of Kees Klokkenmaker in six chapters, narrated by one of his descendants. As Kees grows up, we learn of the fall of a great Dutch King, who goes mad while seeking eternal life and ultimately strikes a pact with a demon, thereby cursing his kingdom. Soon a resistance group formed by the common people tries to escape the King's cursed realm.

To check out the episodes yourself and get some clues about places you might be visiting in We Were Here Forever, start with episode 1: The Fall of a Kingdom. What happens next will be revealed in the upcoming episodes. Each one of them will shed light on the enigma that is Castle Rock, or might leave you with even more questions to find out for yourselves. Was it all foretold…? Wishlist We Were Here Forever now! There is still a lot left to be shared before May 10.

The We Were Here Series

The games of the We Were Here Series of co-op puzzler adventures are playable in any order, although there is a common narrative thread running through them. The series has been enjoyed by more than 6,500,000 players since the release of We Were Here in 2017. 

Players take the role of Antarctic explorers who find themselves caught up in a mystery revolving around the realm of Castle Rock (more backstory is revealed in the live-action video series We Were Here Stories: Chronicles of Castle Rock). Being separated most of the time, players will have to explore several areas, while every puzzle requires teamwork to be solved. Asymmetric puzzles give each partner different information, and challenges players to talk to each other and figure out exactly what information they have and how it might lead to a solution. You and your partner have nothing but your wits, a walkie-talkie, and whatever you can find on your way. Do you have what it takes to escape this mysterious realm or will you be trapped…  forever?

We Were Here, We Were Here Too, and We Were Here Together are all available on Steam, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. We Were Here Forever will be released May 10th on Steam and Epic Games for PC, and soon after on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. 

The features of the We Were Here Series include:

  • 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?
