As we approach 2025, gaming enthusiasts have much to look forward to, including the highly anticipated release of the co-op puzzle crime thriller, Parallel Experiment, developed by Eleven Puzzles. Set to launch on Steam this March, the game is also slated for a demo release on iOS and Android later this year, with a full mobile version to follow soon after.
If you're a fan of cooperative puzzlers like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, you'll find Parallel Experiment intriguing. In this game, players take on the roles of detectives Ally and Old Dog, who must collaborate to unravel the mystery of a ruthless killer. The game splits players into two separate locations, requiring them to communicate clues effectively to solve over 80 unique puzzles.
Adding to the immersive experience, Parallel Experiment features an in-game notebook for tracking clues, cooperative dialogue, and a striking noir comic book aesthetic. Players can also engage in playful interactions like knocking on windows or poking their partner, adding a fun dynamic to the gameplay.
One of the most exciting aspects of Parallel Experiment is its crossplay functionality. Whether you're playing on desktop or mobile, multiplayer collaboration is seamless. This feature not only enhances the gaming experience but also offers creative ways to interact and communicate with your partner, whether they're in the same room or across the globe.
While the concept of co-op puzzle games isn't new, the extensive testing and refinement in the gaming industry promise that Parallel Experiment will deliver an optimized experience on mobile devices.
