Authore: MaxUpdate:Apr 09,2025

As we approach 2025, gaming enthusiasts have plenty to look forward to, including the highly anticipated release of 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 release a demo for iOS and Android later this year, with hopes for a full mobile release soon after.

If you're a fan of cooperative puzzlers like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, you'll quickly grasp the essence of Parallel Experiment. 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 twist? Players often find themselves in separate locations, requiring constant communication to piece together clues and solve over 80 intricate puzzles.

The game features an in-game notebook to track clues, cooperative dialogue, and a captivating noir comic book aesthetic. To add a playful twist, players can even engage in light-hearted distractions like knocking on windows or poking their partner, enhancing the interactive experience.

What's in the booox?!One of the standout features of Parallel Experiment is its support for crossplay, allowing seamless multiplayer experiences across different platforms. This is particularly ingenious, as it not only caters to desktop players who can use tools like Discord, but also to those who might enjoy the game in the same room, offering unique ways to interact and solve puzzles together.

While the concept of co-op puzzles isn't new, the gaming community has seen numerous iterations, which should help ensure that Parallel Experiment delivers a refined and enjoyable experience, especially when it eventually hits mobile devices.
