The eagerly awaited cooperative puzzler, Parallel Experiment from Eleven Puzzles, initially slated for a Steam launch in March, has encountered some unexpected development hurdles. Fans will now have to wait until June 5th to dive into this thrilling adventure, but the good news is that the game will launch simultaneously on PC, Android, and iOS, ensuring a unified release across platforms.
For those anticipating the mobile versions, the delay has proven to be a blessing in disguise. The developers had contemplated scaling back on optional puzzles, additional mechanics, and even the mobile release itself to meet the original deadline. Now, players can look forward to the full experience on all devices, complete with crossplay functionality from day one.
In Parallel Experiment, you and a partner step into the shoes of detectives Ally and Old Dog, ensnared in a sinister experiment devised by the Cryptic Killer. Your escape hinges on solving an array of interdependent puzzles that demand teamwork and communication.
With more than 80 challenges awaiting you, you'll be cracking codes, manipulating water flows, hacking into systems, and even rousing a tipsy character from slumber. The game's noir-inspired setting and comic book art style envelop you in a gripping, time-sensitive mystery.
But it's not all about intense puzzle-solving. Between the brainteasers, you can engage your partner in retro-style mini-games such as darts, claw machines, and match-three puzzles, all with a cooperative twist that adds fun to your investigative journey.
As you await the June 5th release, why not explore some of the best puzzlers available on iOS to keep your problem-solving skills sharp?
The game's interactive dialogues enrich the narrative, with NPCs dynamically responding to both detectives. And if you're in the mood for some mischief, every level offers opportunities to playfully irritate your partner, whether by tapping on windows, shaking their screen, or scribbling amusing doodles in your detective notebook.
Boasting five times the content of Eleven Puzzles' previous project, Parallel Experiment promises to elevate your cooperative gaming experiences to new heights. Mark your calendars for June 5th and visit the Steam page for further details.
