Do you have plans to add motion support for PS VR?
We do not have any plans to support move controllers for PS VR.
I purchased the game on one platform, can you send me codes for other platforms too?
Unfortunately, purchasing the game from a platform (like Steam for example) will not grant you access to the game on other platforms (such as Switch, iOS, Android, etc). The stores exist separately and it is not possible for us to support cross-buy between them.
For the Oculus Store:
The Oculus Store supports cross-buy between Rift and Quest.
It also supports cross-buy between Oculus Go and Gear VR.
It currently does not support cross-buy between Oculus Rift/Quest and Oculus Go/Gear VR.
Unfortunately, there is no maintainable way to verify and transfer purchases and we will not be able to offer additional keys.

I'm having problems using my Rift or DK2 with the game.
Please make sure that you are running the latest Oculus software found here. Note that VR is not supported on Mac OS X.

If you are still having problems, please let us know at support@keeptalkinggame.com and we'll help you the best we can.
I’m having issues running on Linux Build!
We are a small team with limited Linux knowledge. We've tested the game in Ubuntu 16.04 and SteamOS. If you are using a different distribution or have an uncommon configuration, you may need to rely on the Linux community for support.
If you are not able to find a solution, you can reach out to us at support@keeptalkinggame.com. We will do our best to help you solve the issue.
Note: The Linux version doesn't support VR but it has all of the other game features including mod support through the Steam Workshop.
I'm running macOS Catalina and the game is not displaying correctly.
Some MacBook Pro users running macOS Catalina have been reporting display issues.
To get the game running properly. You will have to switch to 'windowed mode' rather than 'full-screen mode' to play.
You can do this by:
- Launching the game and immediately holding the options button
- There will be a checkbox for running the game in windowed mode. Check it and confirm the change.
My game is crashing as soon as I try to run it!
One of the most common causes of crashing is a lack of recent video card drivers. So make sure your drivers are up to date. You can find instructions on how to do that here.
If your drivers are up to date, check to see if you have the "Citrix Indirect Display Adapter" driver installed. This driver can cause issues with Unity. We suggest removing it, restarting your computer, and launching the game again.
I hear sound, but the screen is black or turns black shortly after starting!
Make sure to disable any third-party overlays, such as FPS counters. The most common is AMD's Raptr Gaming Evolved overlay, which is often installed as part of your video card driver update. You can find instructions to disable the Raptr overlay here.
If you do not have any overlays enabled and are using an AMD mobile graphics chip, you may be able to resolve the problem using the steps found here.
I hear sound and my screen is still black!
Are you running Windows? The 2017 Windows 10 Fall Creators Update has caused users with certain graphics cards to experience this problem with Unity games. Changing the scaling mode of the graphics drivers has fixed this problem for many players.
For Nvidia:
- Open the Nvidia Control Panel.
- Under the "Adjust desktop size and position" tab, Select "No scaling".
- * Optional: Selecting the "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs" has also worked for some players.
- Open "Radeon Settings".
- Under "Scaling Mode" select "Full Panel".
- Under Control Panel, switch the 'Scaling' option to "Maintain Aspect Ratio".

Steam Workshop Mods
What is a mod?
The term "mod" describes a modification to the game that was created by the community. Mods add new game content such as modules, bomb casings, missions, and more.
If you're looking to join an enthusiastic mod-building community, check the official Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Discord.
Where can I find the manual pages for mods?
You can access the mod manual pages in-game by opening the mod brochure on the desk. In the top right of the mod brochure, select “Mod Manual Folder”. A window will open. Select the “ModsOnlyManual.pdf” to view the mod manual pages.
You can also find the manual pages here.
Where can I learn more about making mods?
You can find our mod kit and information on how to get started here.
Can I run mods outside of Steam?
All PC and Mac versions of the game (including the Humble and Oculus Store) support modding. However, the Steam Workshop is necessary to find community-made mods and is only available in the Steam version.
All other platforms do not support mods due to technical restrictions.
A mod that I installed isn't working!
Mods are created by members of the community. Unfortunately, that means we can't provide technical support for any issues you are experiencing with them. Each steam workshop item has a comments section where you can describe issues you are having with a given mod.
HELP! I installed a mod and now my game is crashing!

- Select the “Workshop Items” tab.
