As we approach 2025, the gaming community is buzzing with excitement for the upcoming releases, and one title that stands out is the co-op puzzle crime thriller, Parallel Experiment, developed by Eleven Puzzles. Set to launch on Steam this March, the game is also slated to offer a demo on iOS and Android later this year, with a full mobile release hopefully following soon after.
If you're a fan of cooperative puzzle games like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, you'll find Parallel Experiment intriguing. In this game, you'll step into the shoes of detectives Ally and Old Dog, working together to unravel the mystery of a ruthless killer. The gameplay often splits the players into two separate locations, requiring effective communication and teamwork to solve the puzzles that stand between you and the truth.
Parallel Experiment boasts over 80 unique puzzles, an in-game notebook for tracking clues, cooperative dialogue, and a distinctive noir comic book aesthetic. The game also includes playful interactions like knocking on windows or poking your partner, adding a layer of fun and distraction to the experience.
What's in the box?! And yes, for those wondering, Parallel Experiment will support crossplay, a feature that enhances the multiplayer experience. Whether you're coordinating via Discord on desktop or playing side by side on mobile devices, the game promises to offer creative ways to interact and solve puzzles together.
While the concept of co-op puzzle games isn't new, the extensive testing and refinement in the gaming industry suggest that Parallel Experiment will deliver a polished and engaging experience, especially when it makes its way to mobile platforms.
