Earlier We Were Here games made a partner indispensable by giving them information you lacked. We Were Here Tomorrow adds a persistent difference in what each person can do. One explorer carries a stretchy tether that grabs distant objects, pulls switches, and transfers electrical energy. The other fires solid blocks that become platforms, keys, or charged components. Total Mayhem Games keeps the two-player dependence that defined its medieval puzzle chambers, then gives each half of the partnership a toolkit with applications extending across the campaign. Those tools change how the pair divides its work. Describing a distant lever establishes the...

Ryan Dylan gives a conspicuously fake child the concern of a man carrying an entire family tragedy. His character, Callum, is working at a living-history attraction, playing a nineteenth-century peasant, and the doll represents his child. The prop makes no persuasive claim to being alive. Dylan keeps the emotion going anyway. Much of the pleasure of Funboys’ second season comes from watching that discrepancy widen: the less convincing the spectacle, the greater the characters’ commitment to it. Steve Coogan, playing Callum’s boss, extends the joke by taking his own performance as a brutal historical authority far too seriously. There are...

Steven Jr. has decided to concentrate on the family business, which would sound reassuring if he weren’t collecting a new romantic interest from the airport on the day his brothers need to discuss their father’s prison sentence. The third season of The McBee Dynasty gives his declaration of responsibility just enough room to become evidence against him. McBee Farm & Cattle needs leadership. Steven needs the house cleaned before Allie Eklund arrives. Delegation begins at home. His brothers accept the cleaning assignment and add embarrassing decorations, turning his preparations into an opportunity for sabotage. The prank works because it briefly...

Pelu keeps his workplace and loses his place in it. Employed as a projectionist at a municipal cinema in Córdoba, he is reassigned to night security after budget cuts, remaining inside a building whose relationship with him has quietly altered. Octavio Bertone plays this displaced custodian in Ezequiel Salinas and Ramiro Sonzini’s The Night Is Fading Away. When Pelu’s housing arrangement collapses, he secretly moves into the cinema. The familiarity of the place acquires a painful intimacy: he must now make a home inside the institution that has ceased to need his original work. The luminous black-and-white photography gives this...

Simon Farnaby spends much of his time inside a teenager’s hoodie, occupying a body the film frequently allows us to see as his own. Julian, Button House’s deceased Conservative MP, has possessed Jack, played by Scott Ellis Watson, yet the image keeps restoring the familiar performer to view. This is an efficient comic arrangement. We recognize the occupant without requiring Watson to impersonate Farnaby throughout. It also distributes our sympathy before anyone has argued the case: the man borrowing the body gets the reassuring face, the established comic history, and the pleasure of finally leaving the grounds. Watson complicates that...

Drawing a bow in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort involves a small negotiation between an action you recognize and equipment you have never held this way. One Joy-Con becomes the bow, the other its string; extending one arm and pulling the other back makes the relationship legible before a conventional button diagram could. The vibration suggesting tension helps complete the illusion. Then wind and distant targets complicate that initial understanding. Archery’s achievement is the room it leaves between recognizing the gesture and executing it well. Hidden targets extend that pleasure into discovery, giving a group something to investigate together beyond the...
