As we approach 2025, the gaming community is buzzing with excitement over the upcoming releases, and one title that's generating significant anticipation is the co-op puzzle crime thriller, Parallel Experiment, 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, with a full mobile release hopefully following soon after.
If you're a fan of cooperative puzzle games like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, you'll find Parallel Experiment intriguing. In this game, you'll step into the shoes of detectives Ally and Old Dog, working together to unravel the mystery of a ruthless killer. The gameplay often splits players into two separate locations, requiring effective communication to solve over 80 unique puzzles. The game enhances the experience with an in-game notebook for tracking clues, cooperative dialogue, and a captivating noir comic book aesthetic. Plus, there are playful elements like knocking on windows or poking your partner, adding a fun twist to the teamwork.
What's in the box?! And yes, for those wondering, Parallel Experiment will feature crossplay, a brilliant move that allows players to collaborate seamlessly across different platforms. While desktop players can use tools like Discord for communication, the mobile version opens up new avenues for in-person interaction and creative distractions, making the experience even more engaging.
Although 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 enjoyable experience, built on the lessons learned from previous titles in the genre.
