Escape Castle Rock with your co-op buddy in We Were Here Forever, coming to PC in May
The co-op puzzle/escape franchise We Were Here is getting another chapter less than two months.

And, you know what? I kind of dig it. The video reminds me of those older FMV games, where a similar wizened storyteller would fill you in on
