We Were Here Tomorrow Walkie Talkies: Tips and Fixes

How Do We Were Here Tomorrow Walkie Talkies Work?

We Were Here Tomorrow walkie talkies connect you with your partner when the Norček facility separates you. Because each Explorer gets a different perspective, clear communication helps you combine clues and understand what your teammate needs. Getting comfortable with We Were Here Tomorrow walkie talkies helps you spend more time solving puzzles and less time repeating descriptions or wondering whether your microphone is working.

Your job is to describe your surroundings, share discoveries, and coordinate actions with someone who often cannot see what you see. Both players also carry different high-tech tools, so understanding your partner’s options matters alongside understanding their clues.

Feature	What it means for your session
Two-player online co-op	You need a partner and an internet connection
Different perspectives	Each Explorer contributes information to shared puzzles
Separate tools and roles	Your partner can tackle obstacles differently
Walkie-talkie communication	You can exchange clues while separated
PC microphone requirement	Both players need a working PC-compatible microphone

The adventure takes place inside a mysterious Antarctic research facility, with puzzles involving time, gravity, and space. That setting makes precise descriptions especially useful: your teammate’s view of a room can differ dramatically from yours.

Treat every conversation as part of the puzzle. Tell your partner what changed after an interaction, ask what happened on their side, and distinguish what you can actually see from what you think it means.

Check Your Radio Controls and Microphone Before Exploring

Start your session with a short conversation through the game. Testing We Were Here Tomorrow walkie talkies before tackling a complicated puzzle gives both players a chance to catch missing audio before it becomes confused with missing information.

The PC demo introduces push-to-talk radio communication. Follow the control prompts for your current platform and setup, especially when switching between mouse and keyboard and a controller.

Communication task	Action to take	Communication habit
Speak through the radio	Use the displayed radio control	Give a short, complete description
Listen to your partner	Pause after your message	Leave room for your partner’s answer
Continue exchanging clues	Alternate speaking and listening	Confirm important details before acting

Avoid delivering a long explanation without checking that your partner heard the beginning. A perfectly accurate description accomplishes little if the other player missed the object you were describing.

Use this simple opening check:

• Say something through the in-game radio.
• Ask your partner to repeat it.
• Switch speaking roles and repeat the check.
• Resolve missing or unintelligible audio before exchanging puzzle instructions.

Test speech in both directions. Ask your teammate to repeat your message, then repeat theirs back so you both know the conversation is getting through.

In-game communication also includes proximity chat during shared sections. Recheck your radio when you separate, and exchange a short message before launching into puzzle instructions.

If you already have another voice call running, avoid listening to your partner through both channels at once. Duplicate audio makes short instructions harder to follow.

Describe Symbols and Rooms Without Losing the Details

Avoid assuming your partner attaches the same meaning to a nickname. Instead of relying on a label such as “the sun,” describe the shape and ask your teammate which details they need.

Use We Were Here Tomorrow walkie talkies to describe the features that distinguish one option from another. Start with the overall shape, then explain its center, surrounding marks, and orientation. Let your partner ask questions before you move to the next symbol.

Build your descriptions around visible features. Use the following examples as wording templates, and replace each detail with what you actually see.

Detail to describe	Example wording	What your partner should compare
Center	“There’s a filled circle in the middle”	Filled and empty centers
Surrounding outline	“A ring surrounds the center”	Separate rings and solid shapes
Line shape	“The rays are straight”	Straight and curved marks
Orientation	“The horns curve upward”	Upward and downward versions
Small markings	“There’s a dot inside the circle”	Otherwise similar symbols

These are description examples, rather than a puzzle combination. Read the symbols currently displayed in your session and work through them together.

Agree on an Order Before Reading

Say “left to right” before describing a row. For a larger panel, establish which row you mean before naming its symbols.

Keep the same order throughout the exchange. Changing from position-based descriptions to improvised nicknames midway through a sequence creates unnecessary translation work.

If your teammate says two options match, ask which feature separates them. Then inspect that feature closely. Answering “yes, the sun one” again will only preserve the original ambiguity.

Repeat Instructions Before Acting

Ask your partner to read back a sequence before entering it. Pay particular attention to orientation, position, and whether a shape is filled.

Correct misunderstandings while the instruction is still fresh. If you wait until after several interactions, you may both struggle to remember which detail went wrong.

When an attempt fails, return to the description. Compare the displayed clues again before trying unrelated combinations.

Name a Shared Landmark

Gravity-changing spaces complicate directions such as “above you” or “on the left.” Your partner can be standing on a different surface with a different view.

Anchor your instructions to something identifiable: a doorway, a monitor, or a visible cable. Say which object you mean before describing its position.

Ask your teammate to describe their view back to you. That exchange helps you recognize when you are discussing different objects or looking at the same arrangement from different angles.

Coordinate Your Different Tools and Puzzle Actions

We Were Here Tomorrow walkie talkies carry more than symbol descriptions. They also let you coordinate tools, movement, and changes that occur outside your own view.

Each Explorer has a distinct role and high-tech equipment. The PC demo introduces a tool that creates blocks and a hook-like hand tool that pulls objects. Communicate what your equipment can do in the current situation so your teammate can connect that ability with obstacles on their side.

Describe the obstacle before proposing an action. “There’s a lever beyond my reach” gives your teammate useful information about the problem.

Separate Observations From Ideas

Keep your observations and proposed solutions clearly worded:

• Observation: Describe the object, opening, or mechanism you see.
• Idea: Explain what you want to try.
• Coordination: Ask whether your partner is ready.
• Result: Compare what changed on both sides.

This habit is especially useful when one player operates something while the other watches the result. Make sure your partner is looking at the relevant area before you interact.

Change one thing at a time when investigating an unfamiliar mechanism. Ask what changed, then decide together whether to continue or try something else. Several simultaneous experiments make the cause of a result harder to identify.

Report Progress, Including a Lack of Change

Tell your partner when an action produces no visible result. Silence leaves them guessing whether you acted, missed an instruction, or lost voice chat.

Use explicit acknowledgments such as “I heard you,” “I’m ready,” and “nothing changed here.” These short responses keep a stalled puzzle from becoming a communication problem.

Pause detailed explanations during story dialogue if it makes your partner difficult to hear. Resume from the last instruction they understood instead of assuming the whole exchange came through.

Recheck Both Rooms When You Stall

Explore monitors, whiteboards, posters, and small written details when neither player sees a next step. Some environmental text contains puzzle clues alongside the facility’s background story.

Read relevant wording aloud rather than immediately summarizing it. Your partner may recognize a connection that your summary leaves out.

Then compare your rooms again. Ask what each player can interact with, what remains inaccessible, and which visible elements connect to another mechanism.

Troubleshoot Microphone Problems and Broken Voice Chat

We Were Here Tomorrow walkie talkies experienced unreliable voice audio during the PC launch period of October 20–22, 2026. Problems included microphone-test failures and voice communication cutting out during play, although some sessions ran without voice issues.

An audio failure can resemble a partner missing an instruction. Establish whether you can still hear each other before spending more time troubleshooting the puzzle.

Symptom	Action to try	What to check afterward
Microphone test fails	Check that your microphone works, then retry after relaunching	Exchange a short message with your partner
Voice audio stops during a session	Relaunch before resuming the puzzle	Repeat a short spoken message
Speech becomes difficult to understand	Pause puzzle instructions and check communication separately	Ask your partner to repeat your message
In-game voice remains unreliable	Use a separate voice call as a workaround	Keep only one audible conversation channel
Failures keep returning	Check Total Mayhem Games’ Known Issues and support options	Identify the issue affecting your platform

Relaunching restored communication in some PC launch sessions, but failures could return. Before leaving, agree with your partner about repeating the current section; restarting midsection can interrupt puzzle progress.

If you switch to a separate voice call, continue describing clues and coordinating actions aloud. It lets you keep communicating, although you lose the in-game radio’s audio effects. The shrinking sequence, for example, changes the smaller Explorer’s voice pitch through in-game chat.

Avoid assuming every audio problem has the same cause. Check that both microphones work, establish which direction of speech has failed, and distinguish a failed microphone test from audio stopping during an otherwise working session.

For recurring problems with We Were Here Tomorrow walkie talkies, include the platform, affected player, and what happened immediately before the failure when contacting Total Mayhem Games. Mention whether relaunching restored audio and whether the issue happened during microphone testing or gameplay.

Keep those details specific. Explain whether you could hear your partner, whether they could hear you, and whether the problem returned after restarting. Separate communication failures from any item-interaction problems you encounter so each issue is clear.

You can find the PC version on the We Were Here Tomorrow Steam page.
