Co-op Puzzle Thriller "Parallel Experiment" to Intrigue Mobile Gamers

Parallel Experiment: A Co-op Crime Thriller 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 cooperative puzzle game, reminiscent of titles like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, casts players as detectives Ally and Old Dog. Players, often situated in separate locations, must collaborate, sharing clues and solving puzzles together.

Featuring over 80 unique puzzles, an in-game notebook for clue tracking, cooperative dialogue, and a stylish noir comic book aesthetic, Parallel Experiment adds a layer of playful interaction. Players can even playfully annoy each other by knocking on windows or poking their partner.

What's in the box?!

Cross-platform play is a key feature, offering flexibility for players on both desktop and mobile. While desktop co-op is easily facilitated by platforms like Discord, the mobile version introduces unique opportunities for in-person collaboration and playful distractions.

Although the co-op puzzle genre isn't new, Parallel Experiment benefits from extensive testing to optimize the mobile experience.
