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 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 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!
Unraveling the Mystery!
Cross-platform play is a key feature, adding a layer of ingenuity to the experience. While desktop co-op benefits from platforms like Discord, mobile play introduces new opportunities for creative communication and playful distraction between partners. Whether this leads to collaborative problem-solving or humorous chaos remains to be seen!
While the co-op puzzle genre is established, Parallel Experiment aims to leverage past experiences to deliver a polished and optimized mobile experience.
