Parallel Experiment: Co-op Puzzle Thriller Hits Mobile

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

This intriguing title puts you in the shoes of detectives Ally and Old Dog as you unravel the mystery surrounding a ruthless killer. Similar to cooperative puzzlers like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Parallel Experiment challenges players to solve puzzles from separate locations, requiring communication and collaboration to succeed.

Prepare for over 80 unique puzzles, a nostalgic in-game notebook for tracking clues, cooperative dialogue, and a stylish noir comic book aesthetic. Even better? The game includes fun interactive elements like knocking on windows or playfully poking your partner—adding a layer of lighthearted chaos to the investigation.

What's in the booox?!

Cross-platform play is a key feature, cleverly bridging the gap between desktop and mobile experiences. While Discord facilitates easy communication on PC, mobile players can leverage proximity for creative communication and distraction tactics.

Although the co-op puzzle genre isn't new, Parallel Experiment benefits from the extensive testing and refinement seen in similar titles, promising a polished and engaging mobile experience.
