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 puzzles by communicating clues.

Featuring over 80 unique puzzles, an in-game notebook for clue tracking, cooperative dialogue, and a stylish noir comic book aesthetic, Parallel Experiment offers a unique blend of challenge and collaboration. The developers have even included fun features like the ability to annoy your partner by knocking on windows or poking them!

Unraveling the Mystery!

Cross-platform play is a key feature, adding a layer of ingenuity to the gameplay. While desktop co-op is easily facilitated by platforms like Discord, the mobile version opens up new avenues for creative communication and distraction between players, whether they're in the same room or miles apart.

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