Parallel Experiment, the eagerly anticipated cooperative puzzler from Eleven Puzzles, initially slated for a March release on Steam, has encountered some unforeseen development hurdles. The good news? You'll now dive into the mystery of the Cryptic Killer across PC and mobile platforms on June 5th, ensuring a synchronized launch for all.
For those eagerly awaiting the Android and iOS versions, you're in for a treat. The developers had contemplated reducing optional puzzles, additional mechanics, and possibly even the mobile release to meet the original deadline. Fortunately, they've opted to deliver the full experience across all platforms, complete with crossplay right from the start.
In Parallel Experiment, you and a partner embody detectives Ally and Old Dog, ensnared in a sinister experiment crafted by the Cryptic Killer. Your escape hinges on solving a web of interconnected puzzles that demand close teamwork and sharp communication skills.
With over 80 challenges awaiting, you'll tackle everything from deciphering codes and redirecting water flows to hacking computers and rousing a drunk. The game's noir-inspired setting and comic book visuals vividly bring this gripping mystery to life, plunging you into a thrilling race against time.
But it's not all about intense puzzle-solving. In between, you can engage your partner in fun, retro-style mini-games such as darts, claw machines, and match-three puzzles, all with a cooperative twist.
