As we approach 2025, the gaming community is buzzing with excitement for the upcoming releases, and one title that stands out is the co-op puzzle crime thriller, Parallel Experiment, brought to us by developer Eleven Puzzles. Scheduled to launch on Steam in March, fans can also look forward to a demo on iOS and Android later this year, with a full mobile release hopefully not far behind.
If you're a fan of cooperative puzzlers like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, you'll find Parallel Experiment right up your alley. You'll step into the shoes of detectives Ally and Old Dog, working together to unravel the mystery of a ruthless killer. The game cleverly separates players into different locations, requiring constant communication to share clues and solve the over 80 puzzles that await.
The game's charm lies in its details: an in-game notebook for tracking clues, cooperative dialogue, a striking noir comic book style, and playful interactions like knocking on windows or poking your fellow detective to add a bit of fun and distraction to your gameplay experience.
What's in the box?! And yes, for those wondering, Parallel Experiment will feature crossplay, allowing players on different platforms to team up seamlessly. While desktop players can leverage tools like Discord for communication, the mobile version promises an equally engaging experience, whether you're playing side by side or remotely.
While the concept of co-op puzzle games isn't new, the genre has seen enough experimentation and refinement to ensure that Parallel Experiment is poised to deliver an exceptional gaming experience, especially when it finally arrives on mobile devices.
