Hope will lead you on to an eerie Graveyard and have you descend down into the dark waters of the Foundry.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The games of the We Were Here Series are two player co-op puzzle adventures. Players take the role of Antarctic explorers who find themselves caught up in a mystery revolving around the realm of Castle Rock. Being separated most of the time, players will each have to explore different 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?

Key Features:

• 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…
