No official length yet: series history puts the main story at 10-15 hours, 100% at 18-25, and slower co-op pairs at 15-20. Updated Oct 30, 2026.
How Long to Beat We Were Here Tomorrow? Game Length
Main story: 10–15 hours. 100% completion: 18–25 hours. Two-player co-op: 12–20 hours, because the slower partner sets the pace. Total Mayhem Games still has not published official numbers, so these figures come from the series' own history (laid out below) — this page was last checked October 30, 2026.
What the Series History Says
| Game | Year | Reported length |
|---|---|---|
| We Were Here | 2017 | 2–4 hours (free pilot) |
| We Were Here Too | 2018 | 4–6 hours |
| We Were Here Together | 2019 | 5–8 hours |
| We Were Here Forever | 2022 | 10–15 hours |
| Tomorrow | 2026 | Unannounced — estimate 10–15 hours |
The trend is unambiguous: every full entry runs longer than the last, and Forever — the direct predecessor, with six themed chapters — is the right anchor. Its numbers are unusually well documented:
- HowLongToBeat: 10 hours 42 minutes average on PC across 439 players.
- GameByte review: around 12–15 hours to complete, across six chapters.
- Player reports: 12–18 hours depending on speed and puzzle trouble, with completionists pushing toward 25 hours including replays.
Tomorrow is positioned as the same scale of entry — a full-priced successor to Forever at the same budget tier (see the Steam store page) — so Forever's band is the responsible estimate until verified data exists.

Why Pairs Vary So Much
Co-op puzzle length is not a fixed number — it is a function of your partnership:
| Factor | Fast pairs | Slow pairs |
|---|---|---|
| Communication | Phonetic, read-back discipline | Vague descriptions, assumptions |
| Survey thoroughness | Full narration before acting | Touching things before describing |
| Stuck recovery | Theory-test-break protocol | Looping the same debate |
| Session fatigue | Breaks every 90 minutes | Marathon until frustration |
The same game that takes a disciplined pair 8 hours takes a chaotic pair 18. Both are normal. Our beginner tips exist largely to move pairs from the second column to the first — communication skill is literally game length.
Planning Your Sessions
Do not attempt the whole game in one sitting. Based on the estimate band:
- Evening pairs: 3 sessions of 3–4 hours.
- Weekend pairs: 2 long sessions with real breaks.
- Completionists: add 30–50% for achievements, opposite-side replay, and thorough exploration.
The 50 GB install and the co-op-only design mean both players should block the same windows — a partner who can only play half the sessions halves the game. Coordinate before buying using how to play co-op.
Once players finish the live game, this page gets verified numbers: main story, completionist, and opposite-side replay times. Until then, treat 10–15 hours as planning guidance, not a promise.
