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 innovative game puts players in the roles of detectives Ally and Old Dog, each navigating separate locations. Successful puzzle solving requires seamless communication and collaboration, even when physically distanced. Think Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, but with a noir comic book aesthetic.
What's in the box?!
Featuring over 80 unique puzzles, an in-game notebook for clue tracking, cooperative dialogue, and even playful distractions like window knocking or poking your partner, Parallel Experiment promises engaging gameplay. Cross-platform play is also confirmed, adding another layer of strategic interaction, whether collaborating remotely or in the same room.
While the co-op puzzle genre is established, Parallel Experiment benefits from extensive testing to optimize the mobile experience. The developers have clearly learned from past iterations to deliver a polished and enjoyable game.
