Hey everybody!

Super quick update: we've enabled Windows 64-bit support by default, so you might see a small update being downloaded. This allows players who download lots of mods (like, lots of mods) to use more memory and have more mods active at once.

If you use Windows 32-bit, no worries! You'll still get the 32-bit version.

Good news! Now you'll be able to play Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes on Linux and SteamOS!



The Linux version doesn't support VR but it has all of the other game features including mod support through the Steam Workshop.

Please keep in mind that 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 will probably need to rely on the Linux community for support.

Huge thanks to everybody supporting the game and special thanks to the people who helped to test the Linux beta!
