The eagerly awaited cooperative puzzler, Parallel Experiment from Eleven Puzzles, originally slated for a March launch on Steam, has faced some unexpected hurdles, pushing its release date to June. Fans of the game can now mark their calendars for June 5th, when Parallel Experiment will make its debut on PC, Android, and iOS simultaneously, offering a unified launch across platforms.
For those eagerly anticipating the game on mobile devices, the news is particularly reassuring. The developers had considered scaling back on optional puzzles, additional mechanics, and the mobile version itself to meet the initial deadline. However, they've decided to maintain the full scope of the game across all platforms, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the complete experience from day one, with crossplay available right from the start.
In Parallel Experiment, players will step into the shoes of detectives Ally and Old Dog, embroiled in a twisted experiment masterminded by the Cryptic Killer. To unravel the mystery and progress, players must work together to solve an intricate series of puzzles that demand teamwork and communication.
With over 80 unique challenges, players will tackle a variety of tasks, from deciphering ciphers to redirecting water flows, hacking computers, and even waking up a drunk. The game's noir-inspired setting and comic book art style immerse players in a thrilling race against time.
But it's not all high-stakes puzzle-solving. Between challenges, players can engage in retro-style mini-games such as darts, claw machines, and match-three puzzles, each designed with a cooperative twist to keep the experience fresh and engaging.

The game's interactive dialogues add depth to the mystery, with NPCs responding dynamically to the actions of both detectives. Additionally, each level includes playful elements that allow players to tease their partners, such as knocking on windows, shaking their screens, or drawing humorous doodles in their detective notebooks.
With five times the content of their previous project, Parallel Experiment promises to elevate cooperative gameplay to new heights. Mark your calendars for June 5th and visit the Steam page for more information on this intriguing adventure.
