We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip shadow drops out of nowhere

Total Mayhem Games has announced that We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip, the next game in their series of co-op puzzle titles, is dropping now. Right now. It’s on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, and it’s also free until October 13.

The Friendship is the first in Total Mayhem Games’ bite-sized subseries, We Were Here Expeditions. These are meant to be shorter, more casual co-op experiences. According to the press release, “The FriendShip offers a more casual experience where the focus lies not on escaping but on having fun together and testing the strength of your friendship.”

The plot involves two explorers finding an abandoned amusement park on a deserted island. Amusement parks are at their best when they’re abandoned because there are no lines or people. 

I haven’t played any of the We Were Here games. Mainly because I’m a socially awkward misanthrope, and I don’t have a consistent co-op partner. Plus, playing a co-op game takes scheduling, and humans are my least favorite people. I’d be much more down with a concept like “I Was Here.” Which, as it turns out, there is a game called I Was Here, and it doesn’t look so hot. So maybe I’d just be better off trying to tolerate the presence of another person for We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip.

We Were Here Expeditions: The Friendship is available right now for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. It’s free until October 13, 2023.
