‘’very fun slight spook game, amazing to play it with someone special”

“It’s free! Play it with a friend! If you like puzzle games and stuff like that then you’ll like this. I ended up getting hooked and buying all the other sequels, I am also looking forward to “We Were Here Forever” that’s coming out later! The games are cheap and very fun. However, they are a one-time/two-time play, and then you’ll need to forget the puzzles or tricks to play it again. Once you know how to solve everything you probably won’t open the game for a looooong time. But they are cheap and a great experience!”
