We Were Here Forever — Steam Gift

We Were Here Forever — a co-op escape where your partner's voice is the only way out

We Were Here Forever is the fourth and largest entry in the co-op puzzle series by Dutch studio Total Mayhem Games. It launched on PC (Steam and the Epic Games Store) on May 10, 2022, and got console versions plus crossplay in early 2023. It's a strictly two-player first-person game: you're lured and locked inside the frozen Castle Rock, and the only way out is to talk. Each of you holds a walkie-talkie, stands in different rooms, faces different puzzles, and for most of the time you can't see each other. One describes the symbols on the wall, the levers and the mechanisms — the other acts on what that means. What you buy here is a Steam gift: we send the full game straight to your Steam via a bot.

What the game is and why it lands

The We Were Here series is built on one honest idea: real co-op isn't running and shooting together — it's trusting your partner's words. We Were Here Forever pushes that formula to its limit. There are more puzzles, they're longer and trickier, the game adds branching paths and multiple endings, and the grim fairy tale about the Queen of Castle Rock and her prisoners keeps the tension from the first room to the finale. You'll get things wrong, argue, ask “no, which symbol — three prongs or four?” — and those exact moments are why people keep coming back to the series. There's no solo mode: the game is physically built for two people with two copies.

What the gift includes

You get the full base game We Were Here Forever — a standalone title that doesn't require any earlier entries in the series. No separate “base” to own, no season pass, no mandatory add-ons: the whole story, every puzzle and all endings are available right away. It's a single copy — for co-op, the second player needs their own.

How the two variants differ

There are two options on this page, and both are the exact same full game. The only difference is which set of countries the regional gift is meant for: one variant covers a wider list of regions, the other a slightly narrower one. Pick the one whose set includes your Steam account region. Finding your region is easy: in the Steam client open Store → account details, where your country is shown. This matters because Steam will only accept the gift if the gift region matches the account region.

How we deliver the gift

Delivery works as a real Steam Gift via a bot. We need two things from you: a friend invite link (open your Steam profile → “Add Friend” → copy the link, it looks like s.team/p/...) and your account region. The bot then adds itself to your friends, sends the gift, and automatically removes itself after delivery. You don't need to accept the friend request — you just need friend requests allowed in your profile settings. Steam Guard isn't required for this. Delivery usually takes a couple of minutes after the order, but we don't promise a strict deadline — occasional delays happen, and we work to fix them quickly.

Two conditions the gift can't go through without

First — region. Steam won't let you accept the gift if your account region isn't in the chosen variant's set. Second — the game must not already be in your library: Steam won't accept a gift for a game you already own, and that's the most common reason a gift fails. Check both before paying — we can't cancel a gift once it's been sent.

If something goes wrong

If the bot couldn't add you, it's almost always disabled friend requests or an outdated invite link. Enable friend requests, generate a fresh link and send it to us — we'll resend. If the region didn't match, we'll point you to the variant that fits your country.

Where to start in the series

If you're new to the series, starting straight with Forever is fine — the story stands on its own, though going in order is nicer. Check out We Were Here — the free first chapter, a handy way to test whether the “two players and a walkie-talkie” format clicks for you. Next come We Were Here Too and We Were Here Together, where the puzzles grow bigger, and after Forever the studio continued the story with We Were Here Tomorrow.

A note on the platform

The gift activates on Steam and adds the game to your Steam library. The title targets Windows PC; on Steam Deck it usually runs via Proton, but it isn't officially Deck Verified — keep that in mind if you play on Deck or Linux. For co-op you and your partner need two copies and voice chat (Steam's built-in voice or any messenger works).
