Steel Crate Games

In Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, one player is trapped in a virtual room with a ticking time bomb they must defuse. The other players are the “Experts” who must give the instructions to defuse the bomb by deciphering the information found in the Bomb Defusal Manual. But there’s a catch: the Experts can’t see the bomb, so everyone will need to talk it out –fast!

Features: • Challenging puzzles – Test the limits of your communication skills… and friendships? • A different bomb every time – Procedurally generated puzzles keep the action fresh. • Local multiplayer party game – A great way to experience VR with all of your friends! • Only one copy of the game needed – If you can talk to the bomb Defuser, you can be their Expert. Try using your favorite voice chat service to play remotely. • Requires 2 or more players – Bomb defusing is a team endeavor. Going solo is not an option! • Mixed reality supported – See your friends in the lobby as you select missions.

Requires free Bomb Defusal Manual available at www.bombmanual.com

The most pure FUN Ive had in VR

So this is a really good game, the design is flawless and the gameplay is spectacular. The only reason this isnt getting five stars is because: * Physics can be a bit sloppy and unnatural, sometimes your bomb can fall under the table. * I'd rather have animated hands instead of an oculus controller mesh. * I wish I had to use tools, like scissors or anything like it for different tasks.

Desperately needs online multiplayer

It's a really fun game but it definitely needs an online multiplayer mode where 1 person has the bomb and the other person can view the manual in vr

Excellent game if you only own 1 headset

Pros: Excellent theme - The games theme shows through at every level of the experience, fromthe omnipresent dread of ever growing panic as the timer clicks down, to the frustration of ineptitude while you attempt to communicate clearly as fast as possible. Engaging: even though only one player has the headset, it's genuinely fun to play as either role. There is no down time for any of the players as your always either asking questions, frantically trying to find the correct page or scrutinizing the bomb for minor details Great tutorial - the tutorial levels (basically the non random levels) do a great job of slowly ramping up the difficulty while introducing new module's concurrently so you don't get overwhelmed by information overload Cons: Needs 2 players minimum - I understand that this is a social game, but if you don't have any friends to play with, you cannot play this game. Requires clear communication - once again, I understand that this is a social game, but if you suffer from communication difficulties (say a stutter, Tourettes ect) you will struggle with this game whether your the defuser or the expert and there is no getting around that. Overall: I purchased this game for a game night I was hosting, some of the players where very new to vr and found the controls a little difficult to get the hang of, but everyone had a great time regardless. My wife and I have since spent a few date nights taking turns defusing bombs. The game is brilliant if it's what your looking for, just make sure it's the game your looking for.

Challenging!

WARNING: This game is not for everyone! However, I recommend you try it, since you can always get a refund if you've logged less than 2 hours of gameplay. Ok so imagine you're trapped in a room with no way to escape. Oh yeah, and there's a ticking bomb in front of you. Suddenly, your best friend/parent/whoever exclaims on your walkie talkie that they've found the manual for bomb defusing. But they won't be able to get to you in time. You need to have them walk you through it. And it is not at all easy. Can you handle it? Find out in this fun and challenging game!
