Fans of cooperative puzzler games, take note: Parallel Experiment from Eleven Puzzles has hit a slight snag. Initially slated for a March release on Steam, the game's launch has been delayed due to unexpected development challenges. But don't worry, the wait won't be long—mark your calendars for June 5th, when Parallel Experiment will hit both PC and mobile platforms simultaneously.
If you've been eagerly awaiting the Android and iOS versions, consider yourself lucky. The developers had considered cutting back on optional puzzles, additional mechanics, and even the mobile release to meet the original deadline. However, they've decided to keep everything intact, and the good news is that crossplay will be available from day one, ensuring a seamless experience across all platforms.
In Parallel Experiment, you and your partner step into the shoes of detectives Ally and Old Dog, ensnared in a sinister experiment crafted by the Cryptic Killer. Your escape hinges on solving a series of intricately linked puzzles, demanding teamwork and sharp communication skills.
With over 80 unique challenges, you'll find yourself cracking ciphers, manipulating water flows, hacking into systems, and even rousing a tipsy character. The game's noir-inspired atmosphere and comic book visuals draw you into a gripping race against time.
But it's not all about intense puzzle-solving. Between the brainteasers, you can engage your partner in retro-style mini-games like darts, claw machines, and match-three puzzles, each with a cooperative twist, adding a fun break from the main storyline.

With content that's five times larger than their previous project, Parallel Experiment promises to elevate your cooperative gaming experience. Set to launch on June 5th, you can head over to the Steam page for more details and to get ready for this thrilling adventure.
