We Were Here Tomorrow is out, but your first useful decision happens before the opening puzzle: who will play with you, and are both setups ready? Total Mayhem Games’ October 20 release is a two-player communication adventure. The launch offer is easy to spot; the more important preparation sits across the store requirements, official FAQ and support pages.
This is reported launch analysis, not our review. We have not tested crossplay, completed the game or reproduced its bugs. Our October 21 checks support a practical distinction: the advertised co-op setup is clear, while a trouble-free session is not something these sources can guarantee.
Arrange the partner before the evening
The developer describes asymmetrical puzzles and different tools inside a mysterious facility. That makes explaining what you can see part of the attraction, rather than background chatter while two people independently clear objectives. If your plan is a quiet solo evening, the advertised two-player design is the first mismatch to resolve.
You do not need earlier games to follow this standalone entry, according to the official FAQ. It also describes public lobbies and crossplay at launch. Those are useful promises for finding a partner, but they do not tell us how reliably a particular mixed-platform pair will connect. We have not performed that test.
The FAQ estimates roughly 10–15 hours, varying by pair. Treat that as the studio’s planning estimate, not a measured completion time. For friends with limited overlapping evenings, the sensible question is whether you can make room for several sessions, rather than whether you can squeeze the whole game into launch night.

Check both PCs, not just the faster one
The Steam PC listing specifies Windows 11, broadband internet and a working PC-compatible microphone. Its advertised minimum includes a Ryzen 5 3600 or equivalent, 8 GB RAM, GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB or equivalent, DirectX 12 and 25 GB of space. These are vendor requirements, not a performance recommendation from our own benchmark.
Check the second player’s machine too. A co-op purchase is only useful if both people can actually make the appointment. Test your microphones before arranging the session; do not treat a supported graphics card as evidence that audio input, account setup and joining will all work without attention.
Our October 21 US Steam check shows $17.99, reduced from $19.99 by 10%. That is one regional listing, not a quote for the whole pair. We have not verified friend-pass terms, required licence counts or guest-save parity, so this article makes no claim about those arrangements. Check current platform terms before committing money for someone else.
Official press still: Total Mayhem Games. The tools illustrate the premise, not a tested crossplay connection.
Read the voice update without declaring the launch fixed
The official known-issues page, checked October 21, acknowledges interrupted voices. It says Vivox emergency maintenance occurred and service status indicates that issue should now be resolved. That is the developer’s qualified update, not our confirmation that every audio problem has ended.
The same page still lists audio-input settings that may not persist after leaving the menu. It also explains that nearby players hear one another directly, with walkie-talkies appearing when they move beyond hearing range. Remembering that intended behavior may help distinguish a design change from a fault; it does not diagnose every silence.
For this kind of game, communication belongs beside the system requirements in your preparation. A voice-service update and a local microphone problem are different things. If silence interrupts your session, follow the relevant official support article rather than assuming either that the servers are still down or that your hardware is necessarily at fault.
Know the checkpoint route before you need it
The developer also acknowledges progression blockers. Its published recovery route is main menu > change > start new journey, then have the host manually reselect the last checkpoint. This is attributed support guidance, not a recovery procedure we have tested. It does not establish how much progress any particular pair will retain; do not read it as advice to delete saves.

The buying decision is therefore fairly specific. If you have a willing partner and suitable equipment, the published design gives you a concrete co-op proposition to consider. If a lost evening would spoil the purchase, check the current support list before scheduling it. We cannot turn that list into an incidence rate or an all-clear.
For other group-play decisions, see our PEAK crossplay and progress analysis and over the hill co-op coverage. Tomorrow’s next useful checkpoint is equally practical: whether official updates and your own setup checks remove the obstacles affecting your pair.
