Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a puzzle video game developed and published by Canadian studio Steel Crate Games. The game tasks a player with disarming procedurally generated bombs with the assistance of other players who are reading a manual containing instructions. It was designed around virtual reality support, with availability first on Android-driven Samsung Gear VR, with later ports to supported devices on Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 4, and Linux; though could be played without virtual reality in some cases. An update for the game released in August 2018 removed the virtual reality requirement for these existing systems, as well as included releases for the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. Non-VR ports for iOS and Android were released in August 2019.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Good "offline-multiplayer" option. I played it with people that don't play computer games and they also liked it. Best played by 2 ppl, the game says that it could be played by teams of players but imo that's stretch.
It’s an amazing simulator for communication and teamwork. It can either improve your relationship or destroy it
Initially I was anticipating a lack of replay value, but the complexity of the manual means it is genuinely fun and difficult. There's also a ton of mods, the "full experience" community collection generates a manual with over 200 pages. Easiest with one expert, probably funnier with six.
