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 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 to solve a series of interconnected puzzles. Effective communication and collaboration are key to success.

Featuring over 80 unique puzzles, an in-game notebook for clue tracking, cooperative dialogue, and a stylish noir comic book aesthetic, Parallel Experiment promises a captivating experience. The developers have even included playful features, such as the ability to annoy your partner by knocking on windows or poking them.

Unraveling the Mystery!

Cross-platform play is a standout feature, allowing for seamless collaboration between desktop and mobile players. While desktop players can easily communicate via platforms like Discord, the mobile version introduces unique opportunities for in-person interaction and creative communication strategies (or perhaps, distractions!).

Although the co-op puzzle genre isn't new, Parallel Experiment benefits from extensive testing and refinement, aiming to deliver an optimized experience on mobile devices.
