Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

This just appeared on Steam, and it looks like it could be a hoot and a half. It's pretty bare bones from what I can glean, but that's its intent. You play with a group of friends. One of you spawns in a room with a ticking bomb, the others spawn in another room with a manual detailing the precise instructions on defusing the bomb and relay it over the mic. It sounds like its essentially like one of those action movie where the rookie rushes into the building and finds the bomb and the old grumpy vet becomes human and relatable and coaches the kid in bomb defusing for dummies 101 over the radio.

A bit steep in price for what it is, but could be a nice party game.

This was shown on cons before, suited for VR. The best use of VR as far as I can see.

Hmmm.

I imagine it would be pretty neat physically sweating it out as you flail your arms about trying to precisely cut tiny wires and such.

Or infuriating.

I've listened to my boyfriend play it with a friend and they were having a great and frantic time. Ars Technica also gave it a great review.
