How long is We Were Here Tomorrow? Official length unannounced — honest estimate from series history: Forever took 10-12 hours. What to plan for.
How Long Is We Were Here Tomorrow? Game Length
Total Mayhem Games has not announced how long We Were Here Tomorrow takes to finish. The honest estimate, built from series history below: plan for roughly 8 to 15 hours for a first playthrough, depending on how fast your pair communicates. Anything more precise before October 20 is guessing, and this page will be updated with verified numbers after launch.
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 8–15 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 8–15 hours as planning guidance, not a promise.
