What is Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes like?

One sees the bomb but not the manual; the others read instructions and shout what to cut.

One of you is alone with a ticking bomb and can describe what is on it but cannot see the instructions. The others are the experts, who have the Bomb Defusal Manual, free to print or read on screen at bombmanual.com, and have to guide the defuser through each module before the timer ends. In the same room you need one copy and one screen; on a call, only the defuser needs the game and the experts need the manual and a voice chat such as Discord. It is on PC, PS4, Xbox, Switch and phones, and the manual is the same on all of them.
