The difficulty doesn’t let up and the only real key to success relies on the diffuser offering good descriptors and the technician understanding the convoluted mechanics of each of the bomb’s modules as written in their handy guide.įrom a gameplay standpoint, there are a number of qualities that make Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes so fantastic. The rules and behaviours of certain puzzles change depending on small details like whether the bomb’s serial number features a vowel or the number of batteries mounted on the casing. The guide itself is written in such a way and the puzzles are structured to clearly throw both technician and diffuser for a loop. Although Steel Crate Games has published the manual on its website, for a true sense of authenticity there’s a PDF version of the handbook, designed so that it can be printed out into a 23-page, A4 document on how to deal with the various modules the game’s bombs throw at your companion. Whilst virtual reality helps up the immersion factor for the diffuser, it’s the bomb disposal guide that really stands out as a touch of genius. It’s their job to consult the bomb defusal manual and extract the useful bits of information that won’t get their colleague killed any sooner than necessary. Deciphering the bomb’s modules falls to the task of the ‘technician,’ as we’ll call them. The challenge is that despite being presented with all this information, there’s a high probability the diffuser won’t have a clue what to do. The modules feature wonderfully cliché elements like cutting the correct wire, cracking a coded keypad and even playing a twisted game of Simon Says. The game randomises the modules that appear every time you play and as each module is effectively a complex puzzle, diffusing the bomb requires that you solve each and every one of them before breathing a sigh of relief.

They can pick the bomb up, orient it and of course interact with the various modules on its sides. The diffuser wears the headset and will find themselves in a room with a bomb in front of them on a table. The others are the brains of the operation, tasked with educating the wearer on what to do next.Īs the game’s title not so subtly hints at, success is based on your communication skills with each other and your ability to work as a team. Luckily each player doesn’t need their own VR headset to get involved, that caveat falls solely to the one who’s willing to run the (worryingly high) risk of getting blown up. The game is for two or more players, a rarity in the world of VR experiences, but an essential part of what makes this title so great. Whilst the game is still on track to make its way to the consumer ready Oculus and Sony’s Project Morpheus for the PlayStation 4 later this year, we couldn’t wait that long and luckily the Gear VR skew doesn’t disappoint. An example of one of the earliest builds of the game ahead of release.
