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

Eleven Puzzles' highly anticipated co-op crime thriller puzzler, Parallel Experiment, is set to launch on Steam this March. A mobile demo for iOS and Android is also planned for later in the year, with a full mobile release to follow.

This unique co-op experience, reminiscent of titles like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, casts players as detectives Ally and Old Dog. Working across separate locations, players must communicate clues and collaborate to solve over 80 intricate puzzles.

The game features:

  • An in-game notebook for tracking clues.
  • Cooperative dialogue options.
  • A stylish noir comic book art style.
  • Fun, interactive ways to playfully annoy your partner (knocking on windows, poking, etc.).

ytWhat's in the box?!

Cross-platform play is a key feature, allowing for seamless collaboration between desktop and mobile players. While desktop players can easily communicate via platforms like Discord, mobile players offer unique opportunities for creative in-person communication and playful distractions.

While the co-op puzzle genre isn't new, extensive testing ensures a polished and enjoyable experience on both mobile and desktop platforms.
