As we approach 2025, the gaming community is buzzing with excitement for the highly anticipated release of Parallel Experiment, an upcoming co-op puzzle crime thriller from developer Eleven Puzzles. Scheduled to launch on Steam this March, the game is also set to offer a demo for iOS and Android later this year, paving the way for a full mobile release in the near future.
If you're a fan of cooperative puzzlers like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, you'll quickly grasp the concept of Parallel Experiment. Players will step into the shoes of detectives Ally and Old Dog, navigating through over 80 puzzles spread across separate locations. Communication is key as you exchange clues and collaborate to unravel the mystery of a ruthless killer.
The game boasts a rich experience with an in-game notebook for tracking clues, cooperative dialogue, and a stylish noir comic book aesthetic. Adding to the fun, players can engage in playful distractions like knocking on windows or poking their partner, enhancing the interactive experience.
What's in the box?! A notable feature of Parallel Experiment is its crossplay capability, which allows players to team up across different platforms. Whether you're coordinating through Discord on your desktop or playing side-by-side on mobile devices, the possibilities for teamwork and playful distractions are endless.
While the concept of co-op puzzle solving isn't new, the gaming industry's extensive experimentation ensures that Parallel Experiment aims to deliver an optimized experience, especially when it hits mobile platforms.
