Parallel Experiment, the eagerly anticipated cooperative puzzler from Eleven Puzzles, originally slated for a March launch on Steam, has faced some unexpected delays. Fans can now mark their calendars for June 5th, when the game will simultaneously launch across PC, Android, and iOS platforms.
For those eagerly awaiting the mobile versions, there's good news. Initially, the developers contemplated scaling back on optional puzzles, additional mechanics, and even the mobile release to meet the original deadline. However, they've decided to keep everything intact, ensuring a rich experience across all platforms with crossplay available from day one.
In Parallel Experiment, you and a partner step into the shoes of detectives Ally and Old Dog, embroiled in a sinister plot orchestrated by the Cryptic Killer. Your escape hinges on solving a complex web of interdependent puzzles that demand seamless teamwork and communication.
With an arsenal of over 80 challenges, you'll find yourself deciphering codes, manipulating water flows, hacking systems, and even rousing a slumbering drunk. The game's noir-inspired setting and comic book art style weave a captivating mystery, drawing you into a thrilling race against time.
Beyond the high-stakes puzzles, you can engage in retro-style mini-games with your partner, such as darts, claw machines, and match-three puzzles, each with a cooperative twist, adding a fun diversion to your investigation.

Interactive dialogues enrich the narrative, with NPCs responding dynamically to both detectives, adding layers to the mystery. And for those moments when you feel mischievous, each level offers playful ways to tease your partner, from knocking on windows and shaking their screen to leaving questionable doodles in your detective notebook.
Boasting five times the content of Eleven Puzzles' previous project, Parallel Experiment promises to elevate your cooperative gaming experience. The game is set to launch on June 5th. For more details, be sure to visit the Steam page.
