As we approach 2025, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for several high-profile releases, including the intriguing co-op puzzle crime thriller, Parallel Experiment, developed by Eleven Puzzles. Set to launch on Steam this March, fans can also look forward to a demo on iOS and Android later this year, paving the way for a full mobile release.
If you've enjoyed co-op puzzlers like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, you'll find Parallel Experiment equally engaging. As detectives Ally and Old Dog, players will navigate separate locations, relying on communication to piece together clues and solve over 80 puzzles. The game enhances the experience with an in-game notebook for tracking clues, cooperative dialogue, and a distinctive noir comic book aesthetic. Additionally, playful interactions such as knocking on windows or poking your partner add a layer of fun to the gameplay.
What's in the box?! Yes, Parallel Experiment will support crossplay, a feature that smartly bridges the gap between desktop and mobile gaming. While multiplayer on desktop is facilitated by tools like Discord, the option to play with someone in the same room adds a unique dynamic for distraction and communication, enhancing the co-op experience.
Although the concept of co-op puzzles isn't new, the genre has benefited from extensive testing and refinement across the gaming industry. This ensures that Parallel Experiment is poised to deliver a top-notch experience on mobile devices.
