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 slated for a Steam release this March and a mobile demo launch later in 2025. This noir-styled game challenges players to solve the mystery of a ruthless killer.
Taking on the roles of detectives Ally and Old Dog, players will navigate independent locations, relying on communication and collaboration to crack over 80 unique puzzles. An in-game notebook aids in tracking clues, while cooperative dialogue and playful interactions, like window-knocking or poking, add to the experience.
What's in the box?!
Cross-platform play is a key feature, offering flexibility for both desktop and mobile players. While desktop users can leverage platforms like Discord, mobile players will experience unique communication and distraction methods.
Though the co-op puzzle genre isn't new, Parallel Experiment benefits from extensive testing to optimize the mobile experience. The game's innovative approach to cooperative gameplay promises a fresh take on the genre.
