Steam Version of Parallel Experiment Delayed to June, Syncs with Mobile Release

The much-anticipated cooperative puzzler, Parallel Experiment from Eleven Puzzles, originally slated for a March release on Steam, has encountered some unexpected development hurdles. Fans eager to dive into this intriguing adventure as detectives Ally and Old Dog will now have to wait until June 5th, when the game will launch simultaneously on PC, Android, and iOS.

For those awaiting the mobile versions, the news could have been worse. The developers had considered scaling back optional puzzles, additional mechanics, and even the mobile version itself to meet the original deadline. Fortunately, all versions will now release together, ensuring that crossplay is available from day one.

In Parallel Experiment, you and your partner step into the shoes of detectives Ally and Old Dog, ensnared in a sinister experiment masterminded by the Cryptic Killer. Your only escape lies in solving a series of interdependent puzzles that demand teamwork and communication.

With over 80 challenges, you'll be tasked with deciphering ciphers, redirecting water flows, hacking computers, and even rousing a drunk. The game's noir-inspired setting and comic book art style vividly bring this mystery to life, immersing you in a tense race against time.

The investigation isn't solely about high-stakes problem-solving. Between puzzles, you can engage your partner in retro-style mini-games like darts, claw machines, and match-three puzzles, each with a cooperative twist.

Interactive dialogues add depth to the mystery, with NPCs responding dynamically to both detectives. And if you're in the mood for some mischief, every level offers ways to playfully annoy your partner, whether it's knocking on windows, shaking their screen, or doodling something cheeky in your detective notebook.

Boasting five times the content of their previous project, Parallel Experiment promises to elevate your cooperative gameplay experiences. Mark your calendars for June 5th and visit the Steam page for more information.
