We Were Here Tomorrow Rift Zero: Both Endings and the Final Choice

On this page

What is verified on this page

This page is a launch-day scaffold from October 20, 2026, and it is the ending page: the trophy names and descriptions below are late-game spoilers by nature, which is why the rest of this site links here instead of spelling them out. Everything else on the route is on the walkthrough hub.

No preview played the finale, so there are no verified ending steps here yet. What the choice is and what each outcome shows get written up after a live co-op check.

Trophies on this route

Both Rift Zero trophies are gold. In Exophase’s order they are the last two story trophies, and every other story trophy marks a place you reach rather than a choice you make.

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).

Whether the finale still hands each explorer a tool — or plays out as a choice both players make together — is part of what the live check records. If it is tool work, the Hook Gun explorer (Grabber) and Goop Gun explorer sections below are where the steps will go.

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).
  • Detailed puzzle steps for the finale 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).
  • Detailed puzzle steps for the finale will be added after a live co-op check.

What both explorers need to know

  • Going for the Platinum? Plan around both gold trophies before you commit to the finale; the trophy list keeps the full checklist.
  • Both explorers need to be online with a microphone for every chapter, this one included (co-op rules).

The endings, and what is actually confirmed

Dawn of Tomorrow (“Secured Rift Zero”) and Tomorrow May Never Come (“Closed Rift Zero”) are both gold. Securing and closing are different verbs, which fits two outcomes of one decision — and the creative director told GameWatcher the story ends with a meaningful choice the team wants to see players make.

The studio’s own leaked files call Rift 0 the rip in the sky that Norček studies, so the choice is about what happens to that rip (story). But Total Mayhem Games has not said there are exactly two endings, has not said the trophies map one-to-one onto them, and has not said whether a save or chapter select lets one playthrough take both.

What the choice actually asks, what each option shows, and the fastest way to see both will be written up here after a live check.
