We Were Here Tomorrow is built entirely around asymmetric communication puzzles. A working microphone is strongly required for both players — clues and mechanisms are split between two viewpoints, and the walkie-talkie loop is the core mechanic.
How to Prepare for Your First Session
If you just picked up the game after launch, follow this preparation flow to avoid the most common first-session problems.
Coordinate with your partner
Confirm which platform each player owns and verify that cross-platform invitations work between your combination before starting. Both players need the game installed on their own device.
Test voice communication
Check microphone input, output volume, and push-to-talk settings before launching the session. Test that both players can hear and respond to each other clearly.
Agree on a shared vocabulary
Establish short labels for colors, shapes, symbols, directions, and numbered positions. A consistent reading order (left-to-right or top-to-bottom) prevents most puzzle miscommunications.
Join the same session
Create or join a multiplayer lobby, confirm both players can move and interact normally, then begin the facility route together.
If your partner cannot join or the session is unstable, verify both players run the same game version, check your network connection, then recreate the lobby and send a fresh invitation.
Series Order: Where Tomorrow Fits
We Were Here Tomorrow is a new standalone entry — no earlier game is required to understand its central Norček Industries scenario. However, the series rewards familiarity with its communication-driven formula.
| Game | Position | Prerequisite |
|---|---|---|
| We Were Here | Original entry | None |
| We Were Here Too | Second entry | Not required |
| We Were Here Together | Third entry | None |
| We Were Here Forever | Large-scale entry | Not strictly required |
| We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip | Spin-off | None |
| We Were Here Tomorrow | Newest entry (2026) | None |
If We Were Here Tomorrow is your first series game, you can start here confidently. The Antarctic facility scenario is self-contained, and the core mechanic is taught through early puzzles.
