![]() While another driver called 911, Gillon introduced herself as a nurse and got to work, drawing upon her 40 years of nursing experience. “But I knew both practically and emotionally I had no choice but to step in and get involved. “My initial thought was that I’m not a trauma nurse, this is beyond my training,” Gillon said, who had worked primarily in intermediate care, NICU and diagnostic nursing roles throughout her career. As one of the first on the scene, she got out of the car to see whether there was a need for immediate medical attention. When traffic slowed to a stop on the highway that day, Gillon quickly realized there had just been a serious single vehicle roll over up ahead. Little did she know that her nursing skills and ability to remain calm under pressure would soon be put into action. Looking forward to some rest and relaxation, Gillon’s work as a nurse at Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority was the last thing on her mind. That Jester creeps me out.On a brisk summer morning, Monique Gillon and her husband headed out on the highway destined for a weekend getaway at their cabin in Manitoba’s Interlake. I’m unsure what to expect but there’s one thing I can say with certainty. Forever’s a few weeks from launch and it’s left me curious to see the rest. Co-op’s never been my immediate go-to I've always preferred the solo experience where possible. I didn’t experience the wider puzzles or story elements, but the W.A.S.D showcase left me pleasantly surprised. Sadly, we ran out of time before completing this demo, yet I still had fun. It’s not especially tricky to solve but seeing ourselves progress was encouraging. This room was cleverly designed and solving this puzzle as a team felt rewarding. ![]() Like any good co-op game, teamwork is essential to success, you can’t try gunning it solo and hoping for the best. Thankfully, me and my new friend quickly clicked, elevating this experience immediately. That took some getting used to, and there’s a chance I forgot to press the talk button a few times, but details. Communication is central to this but, like previous games, Forever only allows you to speak to each other one at a time, using an in-game walkie talkie. If doors weren’t correctly aligned, we’d walk straight back into the room we’d tried leaving. Some locations contained a key and, once turned, new rooms would appear, eventually leading us to the Jester. ![]() Our aim was to place doors with matching symbols next to each other, rotating the room through a lever in the middle. Watch on YouTube We Were Here Forever trailer. Navigating a series of doors between adjacent rooms – all symbolised by a projected icon in the middle, like playing cards or musical instruments – some doors have a matching icon above it, which only your co-op buddy can see. No frozen wastelands or abandoned castles like we’ve previously seen, me and my new friend were instead trapped inside a distorted reality. This specific demo took us to the Jester’s illusion room. Trapped inside Castle Rock by dark forces, I was joined by a stranger for this, and this demo gave us 20 minutes to escape. Being perfectly honest, I wasn’t familiar with this co-op puzzle series beforehand, and Forever marks the fourth entry. My own personal standout was We Were Here Forever, developed by Dutch team Total Mayhem Games. Availability: Out on PC, Xbox and PlayStation on 10th May.īetween swinging through trees as a gibbon, running a postal service as a kiwi bird, or getting invested in the majestic art of power washing, I experienced plenty that I’d have otherwise never known.Showcasing over 100 games, big hitters like Football Manager and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands were present, yet these indies are what truly shone. I’ve missed conventions dearly and when I walked into W.A.S.D., that was put into perspective. Take a look at Steam’s upcoming releases list and you’ll see what I mean: sure, Tunic and Moss: Book II were recent hits, but that’s two games in a sea of thousands. Even in my position as someone who writes about games, you never truly grasp how many slip through the cracks. So many indies struggle making themselves heard against big releases.
