Parallel Experiment is a mind-bending co-op puzzle thriller arriving on mobile later this year

Parallel Experiment: A Co-op Crime Thriller Puzzler Coming to Steam and Mobile

Eleven Puzzles' highly anticipated co-op crime thriller puzzler, Parallel Experiment, is set to launch on Steam this March. A mobile demo for iOS and Android is also planned for later in the year, with a full mobile release to follow.

This innovative game, reminiscent of titles like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, challenges players to solve the mystery of a ruthless killer. Taking on the roles of detectives Ally and Old Dog, players will navigate separate locations, relying on communication and collaboration to crack the case.

Featuring over 80 unique puzzles, an in-game notebook for clue tracking, cooperative dialogue, and a stylish noir comic book aesthetic, Parallel Experiment offers a compelling and engaging experience. The developers have even included playful features like knocking on windows or poking your partner to add a layer of interactive fun.

What's in the box?!

Cross-platform play is a key feature, adding a unique dimension to the gameplay. While desktop co-op is easily facilitated by platforms like Discord, the mobile version introduces new opportunities for creative communication and distraction between players, whether they're in the same room or miles apart.

While the co-op puzzle genre isn't new, Parallel Experiment benefits from the extensive testing and refinement of similar games, promising a polished and enjoyable experience on both mobile and desktop.
