Dutch studio Total Mayhem Games has announced that We Were Here Forever, the sequel to the acclaimed co-op adventure We Were Here Together (here our review), will arrive on Xbox on January 31st. The game will take us back to Castle Rock, where together with a friend we will have to discover a new mystery by solving puzzles during a story about 12 hours long.

The announcement is accompanied by a trailer of the game: here it is, along with official information about the game.

You wake up imprisoned inside the sinister Castle Rock: have you been betrayed or have you simply not been cunning? Find out in the new co-op puzzle adventure from the series We Were Here! You will be able to face the dark forces of this kingdom or you will be trapped... Forever?

You and your fellow prisoner are trapped in the kingdom of Castle Rock: have you been betrayed or simply not cunning? To escape, you will have to explore the sinister castle in search of puzzles and plan the escape together. Secrets and puzzles lurk in the shadows. Just remember that nothing is what it seems in this mysterious Antarctic adventure. You will be able to escape together or you will be trapped... Forever?

Locked in the dungeons, in the bowels of Castle Rock, you and your partner will have to look for a way out to return to gaze at the icy Antarctic sky. But escaping this nightmare will not be easy, nor will escaping the clutches of the castle. Getting out of the cell and escaping from the fortress is just the beginning... but is it really possible to leave Castle Rock? New mysteries await you and you will have to choose how to proceed. Your journey leads from the dark prison outside, passing through the royal chambers. Outside the fortress, you will discover the history of Rockbury, its inhabitants and plans of a resistance formed against the King to abandon this icy place. Hope will lead you to an eerie cemetery and bring you down into the dark waters of the foundry.

You were brought here for a purpose. You may also be the missing piece of a puzzle that began a long time ago, in a bygone era. But someone, or something, is desperately trying to solve this puzzle at any cost. Only a solid bond with your partner can make you hope to survive in the face of such a terrible craving ...

But is it really possible to escape from Castle Rock?
