We Were Here Tomorrow Roles Explained

We Were Here Tomorrow uses two distinct asymmetric co-op roles, not interchangeable characters. Both players are separated inside a Norček facility and must use walkie-talkies to share what they see. The role difference comes from what each player sees and which high-tech tool or ability they have. The official Steam page describes this as "Two players, two distinct roles," with each player having "your own high-tech tool at your disposal." In the release date reveal trailer, creative director Mark ten adds that each player gets a new ability to experiment with and upgrade.

How the roles are asymmetric

• Different perspectives: The Steam page says no two Explorers experience the facility the same way. You will not have the same view of every puzzle.
• Different tools or abilities: Each player has their own high-tech tool or ability. The reveal trailer says you get a brand-new ability that you can mess around with and upgrade.
• Communication is the bridge: You rely on walkie-talkies to describe what you see and combine your unique perspectives to solve puzzles.

What the roles are not

As of 2026-10-14, the official Steam page and the release date reveal trailer do not name the exact role titles or high-tech tool names. The official Steam page frames the puzzles as challenging "the rules of time, gravity, and space," but it does not describe the exact tool functions tied to those mechanics as of 2026-10-14. As of 2026-10-14, the official Steam page does not say whether the game assigns roles automatically or lets players choose.

Practical co-op details

• The Steam page lists Online Co-op and Cross-Platform Multiplayer as features.
• The reveal trailer says cross-play will be available between Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation.
