We Were Here Tomorrow

Storyline and setting: The protagonists come to their senses after a crash in the middle of the underground premises of the Norček Industries complex, decorated in the retro-futuristic style of the 80s. The deep lore of the universe is gradually revealed through contact with the director of the base, Kathleen Bow, whose scientific department disappeared without a trace on the eve of the great discovery. The atmosphere of growing anxiety motivates the partners to unravel the chain of secrets and complete someone else's research for the sake of saving the whole planet.

Asymmetrical gameplay and mechanics: The gameplay relies entirely on a first-person cooperative mode and constant physical separation of partners. The characters are deprived of the opportunity to see what is happening through someone else's eyes, so the only link is continuous coordination on the radio. The nonlinearity of the puzzles requires matching disparate clues, skillfully use specialized equipment and overcome anomalies that violate the laws of time and gravity.

Visual style and technology: The graphics engine flawlessly recreates the industrial aesthetics of an abandoned research complex. Detailing of the environment in the spirit of retrofuturism is organically complemented by realistic lighting and elaborate audio design. High-quality optimization guarantees a smooth joint passing, enhancing the effect of full immersion in the ice trap.
