As we approach 2025, the gaming community is buzzing with excitement for the upcoming releases, and one title that's generating significant anticipation is Parallel Experiment, a co-op puzzle crime thriller from developer Eleven Puzzles. Set to launch on Steam this March, Parallel Experiment is also slated to release a demo on iOS and Android later this year, with a full mobile release hopefully following soon after.

If you're a fan of cooperative puzzle games like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, you'll find Parallel Experiment intriguing. Players assume the roles of detectives Ally and Old Dog, often navigating separate locations while communicating and collaborating to unravel the mystery of a ruthless killer. The game features over 80 unique puzzles, an in-game notebook for tracking clues, cooperative dialogue, and a distinctive noir comic book aesthetic. To add to the fun, players can interact in playful ways, such as knocking on windows or poking their partner.

What's in the box?! For those wondering, Parallel Experiment will support crossplay, a feature that enhances the cooperative experience. Whether you're playing on desktop with the ease of tools like Discord or in the same room on mobile devices, the game offers multiple avenues for interaction and distraction, making every session unique.

While the concept of cooperative puzzle games isn't new, the genre has seen extensive refinement over the years. Parallel Experiment aims to deliver an optimized experience, particularly when it makes its way to mobile platforms.
