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

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 the year, with a full mobile release to follow.

This intriguing game casts players as detectives Ally and Old Dog, tasked with solving the mystery of a ruthless killer. Inspired by titles like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Parallel Experiment challenges players to collaborate across separate locations, communicating clues and solving puzzles together.

Expect over 80 unique puzzles, a retro in-game notebook for tracking clues, cooperative dialogue, and a stylish noir comic book aesthetic. Adding to the fun, the game even includes features to playfully annoy your partner, like knocking on windows or poking them.

Cross-platform play is a key feature, cleverly bridging the gap between desktop and mobile experiences. While Discord facilitates easy communication on desktop, mobile gameplay introduces new opportunities for creative distraction and communication—or, perhaps, for some players, simply playing on both devices simultaneously.

Although the co-op puzzle genre is established, Parallel Experiment benefits from years of design refinement and testing, promising a polished and engaging mobile experience.
