Parallel Experiment, the highly anticipated cooperative puzzle game from Eleven Puzzles, has seen a shift in its launch timeline. Originally slated for a March debut on Steam, the game's developers encountered unforeseen challenges, pushing the PC release back to June 5th. On this day, Parallel Experiment will also launch simultaneously on Android and iOS platforms, offering players the exciting opportunity for cross-platform play right from the start.
If you've been eagerly awaiting Parallel Experiment on mobile devices, the delay actually works in your favor. Initially, the team considered cutting optional puzzles, additional mechanics, and even delaying the mobile version to meet the earlier deadline. Instead, all versions will now launch together, ensuring a comprehensive experience across platforms.
As detectives Ally and Old Dog, you'll find yourselves ensnared in a cryptic experiment orchestrated by the enigmatic Cryptic Killer. The path to escape lies through solving intricate, interconnected puzzles that demand teamwork and communication. With over 80 challenges to tackle, players will engage in activities ranging from decoding ciphers and redirecting water flows to hacking computers and even coaxing a reluctant participant to wake up.
Set against a noir-inspired backdrop with comic book aesthetics, Parallel Experiment immerses players in a tense race against time. While intense problem-solving takes center stage, brief respites between puzzles allow for light-hearted fun with retro-style mini-games such as darts, claw machines, and match-three challenges—all designed with a cooperative element.
Interactive dialogues add depth to the narrative, with NPCs reacting dynamically to the actions of both detectives. For those who enjoy playful mischief, each level offers opportunities to tease or annoy your partner in creative ways, from knocking on windows to making questionable doodles in your notebook.
Packed with five times the content of Eleven Puzzles' previous projects, Parallel Experiment promises to elevate cooperative gameplay experiences. Stay tuned for updates and more details on the Steam page. In the meantime, explore this list of the best puzzlers to play on iOS today!
