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 is also planned for iOS and Android later in 2025, 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. Players, often situated in separate locations, must communicate clues and collaborate to solve over 80 intricate puzzles.

What's in the box?!

The game features an in-game notebook for clue tracking, cooperative dialogue, a stylish noir comic book aesthetic, and even playful interactions like window knocking and poking your partner. Cross-platform play is confirmed, adding a layer of strategic communication and playful distraction, whether collaborating remotely or in the same room.

While the co-op puzzle genre isn't new, Parallel Experiment benefits from extensive testing, promising a polished and engaging experience on both desktop and mobile platforms.
