3. Failing To Communicate - Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes

When it comes to friendships and relationships, communication is king.

After all, it's hard to maintain good connections with people if you're responding to questions such as "how do you feel?" "Where should we meet?" and "Did you sleep with my sister?" with nothing more than apathetic shrugs and a look towards a non-existent camera lens.

However, on the inverse saying too much and the wrong thing too often will also likely result in a meal of soup for two for one being your mainline dinner. And in the case of Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes you also have the added danger that saying the wrong thing may kill your character as well as your friendship.

Now to be fair, getting flummoxed and tumbling over your words is something that will happen to us all, but it can turn into a full-blown debate for the ages if some people get pissy and start critiquing your tongue-tied nature and constant verbal bumbling. And it's not nice to be critiqued in such a curt fashion so of course things can explode beyond the scope of the game.

So let's add an addendum to this title, as the game should really be called "Keep Calm And Nobody Explodes" in order to act as a warning to all who enter this particular gaming hellscape. Great game though.
