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 intriguing title draws inspiration from co-op puzzlers like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. Players take on the roles of detectives Ally and Old Dog, working together across separate locations. Communication and collaboration are key to solving the puzzles that unravel the mystery of a ruthless killer.

Prepare to tackle over 80 unique puzzles, utilizing an in-game notebook to track clues. The game features cooperative dialogue, a stylish noir comic book aesthetic, and even playful interactions like knocking on windows or playfully prodding your partner.

Cross-platform play is a key feature, allowing for seamless collaboration between desktop and mobile players. While desktop players can utilize tools like Discord, mobile players will find creative ways to communicate and even distract their partners, adding a unique layer of interaction to the gameplay experience.

Although the co-op puzzle genre isn't new, Parallel Experiment benefits from extensive testing to ensure a polished and engaging mobile experience.
