As we approach 2025, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for some of the year's most exciting releases. Among these, the co-op puzzle crime thriller, Parallel Experiment, developed by Eleven Puzzles, stands out. Scheduled to launch on Steam this March, the game is also set to offer a demo on iOS and Android later in the year, with a full mobile release hopefully soon to follow.
If you're a fan of cooperative puzzle games like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Parallel Experiment will feel right at home. Players take on the roles of detectives Ally and Old Dog, who find themselves in separate locations, relying on communication to piece together clues and solve mysteries. With over 80 puzzles to tackle, an in-game notebook for tracking clues, cooperative dialogue, and a stylish noir comic book aesthetic, the game promises a rich and immersive experience. Additionally, players can engage in playful interactions like knocking on windows or poking their partner, adding a fun dynamic to the gameplay.
What's in the box?! And yes, for those wondering, Parallel Experiment will feature crossplay, a clever addition that allows for seamless multiplayer experiences across devices. Whether you're coordinating via Discord on desktop or playing side by side on mobile devices, the opportunities for teamwork—and mischief—are endless.
While the concept of co-op puzzle games isn't new, the genre has seen extensive refinement over the years. This means that when Parallel Experiment hits mobile, players can expect a polished and engaging experience built on the lessons learned from previous games in the genre.
