Mind-bending Puzzle Thriller 'Parallel Experiment' Launches on Mobile

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 2025, with a full mobile release to follow.

Solve the mystery of a ruthless killer as detectives Ally and Old Dog. If you enjoy co-op puzzlers like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, you'll appreciate Parallel Experiment's unique gameplay. Players, often in separate locations, must communicate clues and collaborate to solve puzzles.

With over 80 puzzles, an in-game notebook for tracking clues, cooperative dialogue, and a noir comic book art style, Parallel Experiment offers a compelling experience. The game even includes features to playfully annoy your partner, such as knocking on windows or poking them—adding a layer of fun to the cooperative gameplay.

What's in the box?!

Cross-platform play is a key feature, allowing for seamless collaboration between desktop and mobile players. While Discord facilitates communication on desktop, playing together in the same room offers unique opportunities for creative communication and playful distractions.

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