Parallel Experiment, a co-op crime thriller puzzler from Eleven Puzzles, is set to launch on Steam this March. A mobile demo is also planned for iOS and Android later in the year, with a full mobile release to follow.

This intriguing title, reminiscent of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, casts players as detectives Ally and Old Dog. Working across separate locations, players must communicate clues and collaborate to solve over 80 unique puzzles. A retro in-game notebook helps track progress, while cooperative dialogue and a noir comic book art style enhance the experience. Even better, there are fun distractions built in – knock on windows or poke your partner for an added layer of playful interaction!

Cross-platform play is a key feature of Parallel Experiment, cleverly bridging the gap between desktop and mobile gameplay. While Discord facilitates easy communication on PC, mobile players can utilize proximity and creative in-person interactions for an equally engaging experience. This innovative approach leverages the strengths of each platform.

Although the co-op puzzle genre isn't new, Parallel Experiment benefits from years of established design principles, promising a polished and enjoyable mobile experience.
