Parallel Experiment: A Co-op Crime Thriller Puzzler Coming to Steam and Mobile

Eleven Puzzles' upcoming co-op crime thriller puzzler, Parallel Experiment, is set to launch on Steam this March, with a mobile demo planned for later this year. This exciting title promises a unique blend of cooperative gameplay and challenging puzzles.

Inspired by games like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Parallel Experiment tasks players, as detectives Ally and Old Dog, with solving a complex murder mystery. The twist? Players are often in separate locations, requiring communication and collaboration to overcome the game's 80+ puzzles.

The game features an in-game notebook for clue tracking, cooperative dialogue, a stylish noir comic book aesthetic, and even playful distractions like knocking on windows or poking your partner.

What's in the box?!

Cross-platform play is a key feature, offering flexibility for players. While desktop co-op is easily facilitated by platforms like Discord, the mobile version introduces new opportunities for creative communication and playful distractions, whether playing together in the same room or remotely.

While the co-op puzzle genre is established, Parallel Experiment benefits from extensive testing to ensure a polished and engaging mobile experience.
