As we approach 2025, the gaming community is buzzing with excitement for the upcoming releases, and one title that's generating significant anticipation is Parallel Experiment, a cooperative puzzle crime thriller developed by Eleven Puzzles. Set to launch on Steam this March, the game is also slated to offer a demo on iOS and Android later this year, paving the way for a full mobile release.
Fans of cooperative puzzle games like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes will find Parallel Experiment familiar yet fresh. Players will step into the shoes of detectives Ally and Old Dog, who often find themselves in separate locations. The game's core mechanic revolves around communication and teamwork as players exchange clues to unravel complex puzzles and solve the mystery of a ruthless killer.
With over 80 individual puzzles to tackle, an in-game notebook for tracking clues, cooperative dialogue, and a captivating noir comic book aesthetic, Parallel Experiment offers a rich gaming experience. The game also introduces playful interactions such as knocking on windows or poking your fellow detective, adding a layer of fun and mischief to the mix.
One of the most exciting features of Parallel Experiment is its support for crossplay. This ingenious addition allows players to collaborate seamlessly across different platforms, whether they're using desktop or mobile devices. While desktop players might rely on tools like Discord for communication, those in the same room can enjoy unique ways to interact and even distract each other, enhancing the cooperative experience.
Although the cooperative puzzle genre isn't new, the extensive testing and refinement within the gaming industry ensure that Parallel Experiment is poised to deliver an exceptional experience on mobile platforms.
