In a world where gaming often focuses on graphics and speed, We Were Here stands apart. This cooperative puzzle series from Dutch indie studio Total Mayhem Games takes a different approach—it strips away the bells and whistles and focuses on something much more fundamental: communication between two players.
Now, We Were Here, We Were Here Too, and We Were Here Together are available on Nintendo Switch, bringing the series to a new audience. Better yet, all three games support cross-platform play, meaning Switch players can team up with friends on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC without any restrictions.
A Simple but Powerful Idea
The concept behind We Were Here is straightforward: two players find themselves trapped inside a mysterious, frozen castle. They’re separated and can only communicate through a walkie-talkie. That’s it. No shared screen, no map, and no way to see what the other person is doing.
One player explores a room filled with symbols and strange mechanisms. The other player sits in a different location, solving their own puzzles based solely on what their partner describes to them. Neither person can see the other’s surroundings—they can only listen and talk.
This setup creates something unusual in gaming. Players must describe what they see using only words, listen carefully to their partner’s instructions, and work together to piece together the solution. When someone misunderstands a symbol or gives unclear directions, frustration can build. But when both players finally figure it out, the payoff feels genuinely rewarding.
More Than Just Puzzles
Since the first We Were Here launched in 2017, the series has built a loyal following for good reason. The games aren’t really testing your ability to solve complex logic problems—they’re testing your relationship with another person.
Both players are equally important. There’s no main character and no supporting role. Each person sees a different part of the puzzle, and only by truly listening to and understanding each other can they move forward. This is why many fans call it a “friendship test” or even a relationship simulator. The games force you to be patient, clear, and genuinely considerate of how your words land on the other end of that walkie-talkie.
That kind of pressure—trying to describe something under stress while your partner waits for an answer—reveals how well two people actually communicate. Sometimes it uncovers surprisingly tender moments. Other times, it highlights just how hard it can be to truly understand someone else.
Why Switch Matters for This Series
The Nintendo Switch brings something special to We Were Here. Since the games only need basic visuals and don’t demand high-end processing power, the handheld console is a perfect fit. Players can now enjoy these games anywhere—at home, during a commute, or while hanging out with a friend.
With full cross-platform support, a Switch player can connect with someone on PC, PlayStation, or Xbox without any issues. All you need is a headset, a friend, and a willingness to be honest about what you’re seeing on your screen.
A Game About Connection
The We Were Here series proves that a game doesn’t need flashy graphics or complicated mechanics to be memorable. Sometimes the most powerful moments in gaming come from the simplest ideas—two people talking to each other, trying to solve a problem together, and learning how well they actually work as a team.
With all three games now on Switch and supporting players across different platforms, it’s easier than ever to experience what makes this series special. If you and a friend are looking for something that challenges both your brain and your partnership, We Were Here offers an experience that sticks with you long after the game ends.
