Can I Run We Were Here?
We Were Here is an action adventure game from Total Mayhem Games, released in 2017. Total Mayhem Games both developed and published it. It offers cooperative play. There are 26 achievements to chase. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS. The base game is free to play, so trying it costs only disk space and download time. Its Steam review count passes 1 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Being 9 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. 22 languages are covered by the store listing. Cloud saves are enabled. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a horror setting. Play is structured around self contained puzzle rooms. It is played from a first person view. The publisher supplies 6 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why We Were Here is demanding
The ask We Were Here makes is moderate. Nvidia GTX 1660TI lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. Disk footprint is light, near 4 GB. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means We Were Here scales hard with the hardware you give it. Windows 11 appears in the requirements, which is worth checking before buying We Were Here.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run We Were Here?
We Were Here targets a mainstream modern PC: Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB or equivalent, integrated graphics not supported and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to Nvidia GTX 1660TI or equivalent, integrated graphics not supported for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.28x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.72x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.32x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
