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 is also planned for iOS and Android later in 2025, with a full mobile release to follow.
This intriguing title channels the spirit of cooperative 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.
Featuring over 80 unique puzzles, an in-game notebook for clue tracking, cooperative dialogue, and a stylish noir comic book aesthetic, Parallel Experiment promises engaging gameplay. The developers have even included fun features like the ability to playfully annoy your partner by knocking on windows or poking them.
What's in the box?!
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 teamwork and playful distractions.
Although the co-op puzzle genre isn't new, Parallel Experiment benefits from extensive testing and refinement to ensure a polished mobile experience.
