Parallel Experiment's Steam release delayed to June, syncing with mobile versions
The much-anticipated cooperative puzzler, *Parallel Experiment* from Eleven Puzzles, faced an unexpected delay in its Steam launch, originally planned for March. Fans eager to dive into this intriguing adventure as detectives Ally and Old Dog will now have to wait until June 5th. However, this delay brings good news for mobile gamers, as the game will launch simultaneously on Android, iOS, and PC, complete with crossplay functionality.
The developers at Eleven Puzzles considered scaling back on optional puzzles, additional mechanics, and even the mobile version to meet the initial deadline. Fortunately, they decided against it, ensuring that all versions will offer the full experience. In *Parallel Experiment*, you and a partner will navigate a twisted experiment orchestrated by the Cryptic Killer, solving interdependent puzzles that demand teamwork and communication.
With over 80 challenges, the game promises a diverse range of puzzles, from deciphering ciphers to redirecting water flows, hacking computers, and even waking up a drunk. The noir-inspired setting and comic book art style enhance the immersive experience, drawing players into a tense race against time.
Beyond the main puzzles, *Parallel Experiment* offers retro-style mini-games like darts, claw machines, and match-three puzzles, all with a cooperative twist, providing a fun break between the high-stakes problem-solving. The game also features interactive dialogues with NPCs that dynamically respond to both detectives, adding depth to the mystery. And for those who enjoy a bit of mischief, each level includes playful ways to annoy your partner, from knocking on windows to doodling in your detective notebook.
With five times the content of their previous project, *Parallel Experiment* aims to elevate cooperative gameplay experiences to new heights. Mark your calendars for June 5th and visit the Steam page for more information. While you wait, check out this list of the *best puzzlers to play on iOS* right now!
