We Were Here Tomorrow Beyond the Rift Walkthrough: Looking Glass, the Outpost and Theta Splice
On this page
What is verified on this page
This page is a launch-day scaffold from October 20, 2026. The places and trophies come from the Exophase story list in order; the segment label is this site’s grouping, not an official chapter title. The full route is on the walkthrough hub.
No preview played this far, so there are no verified puzzle steps here yet. Each solution lands on this page after a live co-op check in the released game.
Trophies on this route
Five story trophies in Exophase order, from stepping through the looking glass to powering the Theta Splice. None are missable.
| Done | Trophy | Grade | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Through the Looking Glass | Bronze | Ventured Beyond the Rift | |
| We Are Friends! | Silver | Got acquainted with an alien lifeform | |
| Farpoint | Silver | Discovered the Human Outpost | |
| Essentia Emendare | Silver | Finished the expedition team’s project | |
| Why So Molecular? | Bronze | Restored power to the Theta Splice device |
Two tools, two views of every puzzle
The two tools are chosen at the start rather than assigned by player number: TheGamesLayer’s hands-on describes picking between the Goo Gun and the Grabber, and the trophy list names the pair the Hook Gun and the Goop Gun (the Grabber is the hook tool). GameWatcher’s gamescom session had players swap roles mid-section.
So read the two sections below as perspectives, not fixed lanes: jump to the Hook Gun explorer (Grabber) or Goop Gun explorer section from the table of contents for your side of each puzzle.
Hook Gun explorer (Grabber)
- Verified tool facts only: the hook grapples to energized surfaces (Danger! High Voltage) and can hook your partner (Now I’m Hooked).
- Why So Molecular? restores power to the Theta Splice device — the last power restore on the route. What that device asks of the hook side gets written up in the live check.
- Detailed puzzle steps for this segment will be added after a live co-op check.
Goop Gun explorer
- Verified tool facts only: the Goop Gun makes goop blocks to weigh, boost, bridge or gunk with, and can lock your partner in place (You’re Chatty for a Statue).
- Essentia Emendare (Silver) is finishing the expedition team’s project. What the project is, and which tool finishes it, are unconfirmed before the live check.
- Detailed puzzle steps for this segment will be added after a live co-op check.
What both explorers need to know
- A Human Outpost beyond the rift means people got here before you. How that squares with the research team that disappeared is a story question the story page tracks from the studio’s own posts.
- This arc ends at the Theta Splice; the finale and both gold trophies are covered separately, with spoilers marked, at Rift Zero endings.
