Norček Facility walkthrough (Chapter 1)
Last updated:
This is the Chapter 1 Norček Facility walkthrough for We Were Here Tomorrow. Learn to describe before you touch, clear the Wellness Check, print your access card, and fire the first experimental tool before you reach the Exotic Matter Laboratory.
What you are doing
- Wake under the ice and complete the Wellness Check (two different views of the same formality).
- Build or print an access card — one player reads, the other prints.
- Receive the experimental Norček prototype and fire it before leaving the early rooms.
- Reach the Exotic Matter Laboratory.
Common stuck points
- Skipping the describe-before-touch habit (tutorial filter, not a hard puzzle).
- Wellness Check / Rehabilitation Suite door and access card handoff.
Hints and solutions
This chapter page stays light on spoilers. For the highest-traffic puzzles, use the dedicated pages (Hint → Solution). If the world stops responding, try reloading your last checkpoint before assuming you missed a step.

Frequently asked questions
What is Chapter 1 in We Were Here Tomorrow?
Chapter 1 is the Norček Facility opening under the ice: Wellness Check, access card handoff, first prototype tool, then the Exotic Matter Laboratory.
Why can’t my partner and I solve the early doors?
Early rooms teach describe-before-touch. One player often sees the form or pattern the other must act on — skip guessing and read aloud. If inputs stop responding, reload the checkpoint.
