Parallel Experiment is a mind-bending co-op puzzle thriller arriving on mobile later this year

Parallel Experiment, a cooperative crime thriller puzzler, is slated for a Steam release this March and a mobile demo launch later in 2025. This innovative title from Eleven Puzzles tasks players, as detectives Ally and Old Dog, with solving the mystery of a ruthless killer.

The gameplay, reminiscent of titles like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, involves players in separate locations, requiring communication and collaboration to solve over 80 unique puzzles. A retro in-game notebook aids in tracking clues, and cooperative dialogue, a noir comic book art style, and playful distractions like window-knocking add to the immersive experience.

What's in the box?! Cross-platform play is a key feature, enhancing the cooperative aspect. While desktop players can utilize Discord, mobile players will find creative ways to communicate and (perhaps) distract their partners.

The familiar co-op puzzle mechanic benefits from extensive testing, promising a polished mobile experience. For more upcoming game reviews, including our take on the multiplayer dungeon crawler Gold & Glory, explore our "Ahead of the Game" feature.
