Proceed Talking and Nobody Explodes is a puzzle video game developed and published by Canadian studio Steel Crate Games.^[1] The game tasks a player with disarming procedurally generated bombs with the assistance of other players who are reading a transmission containing instructions. Information technology was designed around virtual reality support, with availability commencement on Android-driven Samsung Gear VR,^[two] with subsequently ports to supported devices on Microsoft Windows, OS Ten, 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, equally well as included releases for the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. Non-VR ports for iOS and Android were released in August 2019.

Gameplay [edit]

The game is designed to exist played with at least two players, with i player as the "Defuser", playing the game on a device (supporting both keyboard and mouse, touchscreen and gamepad controls, as well as back up for virtual reality headsets), and the remaining players as the "Experts" reading the provided bomb defusal manual.^{[3] [4]} Every bit designed, the Defuser cannot look at the manual and must rely on the Experts to instruct them; similarly, the Experts cannot see the bomb, and must rely on the Defuser to depict the bomb to them. The Experts and the Defuser can communicate with each other either directly from beyond a table, or online using a separate voice service.

Each bomb in the game consists of multiple modules; the modules are contained of each other and can be disarmed in any society.^[5] Most modules require disarming, with the bomb successfully disarmed when all such modules are successfully disarmed. Disarming these modules requires the Defuser to relay visual indicators to the Experts, who then use the transmission to determine what actions the Defuser to take. Other modules are "needy": they cannot be disarmed, and demand periodic attending to forestall them from causing a strike while the bomb is still armed. Each bomb will also have a countdown timer; if the timer reaches null, the bomb will explode. Bombs will as well have a maximum number of strikes resulting from errors fabricated during defusing (besides speeding the timer), and if that maximum is reached, the bomb will also explode. Other obstacles to the Defuser include the lights in the virtual room going out momentarily, and alarm clocks that will distract the Defuser.^{[ citation needed ]}

Modules use circuitous pedagogy sets and puzzle-like elements to be solved, and the defusing instructions are generally conditional on the configuration of the item module; for case, the Experts may need to guide the Defuser through a maze whose walls the Defuser cannot encounter, simply as the manual has maps for a number of mazes, the Defuser must help the Expert identify which map is currently applicable for that given module.^[v] Some modules deliberately make verbal communication complicated: some use unusual glyphs that crave description, other modules use words that may be homophones of other similar words ("sees" to "seas"), verbal tics ("uhhh" or "uh huh") or common words that would exist otherwise used in that state of affairs ("press" or "left") that could easily be dislocated during advice betwixt Defuser and Experts.^[5] Many modules have multiple stages that require the Experts to proceed track of by actions equally they work through each stage. Defusing some modules may too depend on the land of the bomb such as how many strikes it before long has, or external decorations on the flop like the serial number or the presence of batteries.^[5]

The game is broken up into a number of predetermined levels cleaved up into skill groupings that set the number and types of modules, the time to defuse the bomb, and the maximum number of strikes. Each level volition generate the bomb and its modules to be defused in a procedural manner.^[6] Players as well can create a custom challenge based on module count, fourth dimension, and strikes.

Development [edit]

Developers Allen Pestaluky, Ben Kane, and Brian Fetter originally created the game for Global Game Jam 2014.^{[7] [eight]} There, they had a few Oculus Rift development kits and wanted to accept advantage of the novelty of virtual reality. Their original game, a rollercoaster ride simulator, had attracted a number of people to try it out, but the three observed that while the wearer of the headset was enjoying themselves, those waiting for their plough did not share that enjoyment. This gave them the idea of a game that could be shared alike past both a headset wearer and those watching the wearer. Though they had several scenarios in mind, the idea of bomb defusing was the near interesting as well as something they could complete during the Game Jam.^[eight] At the end of the Game Jam, they presented their game to the other participating developers, recording their own start playthrough of the game which they later posted to YouTube; the response both at the Game Jam and from YouTube viewers, calling the game "hilarious", led the iii to realize they were on to a marketable title and developed the game for a full release.^{[viii] [6]} In developing the various rules for disarming modules, these were initially created procedurally like the bombs themselves, so that they could exist shifted around between various demonstrates at trade shows; though the terminal game has statically defined rules for defusing, there is a framework in place that can be used to mix upwards the rules in future versions.^[ix]

A PlayStation VR version of the game was released on thirteen Oct 2016,^[2] while a version for the Android-based Google Fantasize virtual reality platform was released on 10 Nov 2016.^[ii] Steel Crate released a non-VR version for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One on sixteen August 2018; this was a complimentary update for existing owners of the game.^{[ten] [11]} Ports for iOS and Android devices without VR support were released on one August 2019.^[12]

Ars Technica 'due south Sam Machkovech reviewed the game, calling it a "must-have", although he also noted that once players figure out certain modules, they can "hit a chore-like rhythm" instead of a challenge.^[17] He also observed the game's potential as a party game that is equally enjoyable for onlookers.^[17]
