How long? Main story 4h (from 1 logged playthrough)

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!

I think playing this in VR helps add to the experience a lot. Playing in VR is not relaxing the same way a typical video game is, but that's appropriate because you are defusing a ticking bomb.

Asymmetrical play was really fun with a game about improving clear communication and multitasking.

VR was especially enjoyable.
