Parallel Noir Co-Op Game Is Out Now From Cryptic Killer Makers

Two investigators, each holding a piece of the mystery, and one twisted mastermind pulling the strings. Parallel Experiment, the newest title from Eleven Puzzles, is now live on Android, as well as on Steam and iOS. This unique two-player cooperative puzzle adventure hinges entirely on clear communication between partners.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

You and a friend step into the roles of Ally and Old Dog, two detectives ensnared in a harrowing psychological experiment orchestrated by the Cryptic Killer—a familiar antagonist for fans of the developer's previous games.

Each player experiences a completely different perspective of the game, with neither seeing the complete picture. Your advancement relies entirely on the clues your partner provides, just as their progress depends on your insights. One moment you might be deciphering a complex code or soldering circuitry; the next, you're tasked with sobering up a drunk.

The game features more than 80 diverse puzzles. You’ll encounter intricate locking mechanisms, mysterious symbols, and scattered documents. Between these brain-teasers, you can enjoy a few rounds of darts or match-3 mini-games.

Parallel Experiment marks the first entry in the Eleven Puzzles series to expand beyond a single setting. Using an interactive map, you can explore various districts of Kraków and track your progress across multiple locations. Uncover new environments, hidden secrets, and plenty of eccentric locals as you delve deeper into the story.
