The much-anticipated cooperative puzzler, *Parallel Experiment* from Eleven Puzzles, originally slated for a Steam release in March, has faced some unexpected development hurdles, pushing back its launch date. Fans of the game will now have to wait until June 5th to embark on their adventure as detectives Ally and Old Dog. But here's the good news: the game will be released simultaneously on Android and iOS, ensuring a unified launch across all platforms.
For those eagerly awaiting the mobile versions, you're in luck. The developers had considered scaling back optional puzzles, additional mechanics, and possibly even the mobile release to meet the original deadline. However, they've decided to keep everything intact, which is even better news since crossplay will be available from day one. This means you can team up with friends no matter what device they're using.
In *Parallel Experiment*, you and your partner will step into the shoes of detectives Ally and Old Dog, trapped in a sinister experiment masterminded by the Cryptic Killer. To escape, you'll need to work together, solving over 80 interdependent puzzles that range 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 add a thrilling layer to this mystery, immersing you in a tense race against time.
But it's not all high-stakes puzzle-solving. Between challenges, you can engage in retro-style mini-games with your partner, such as darts, claw machines, and match-three puzzles, each designed with a cooperative twist. And while you wait for June 5th, you can explore this list of the *best puzzlers to play on iOS* right now!
Interactive dialogues enhance the mystery, with NPCs responding dynamically to both detectives. And if you're in the mood for some light-hearted mischief, every level offers ways to playfully annoy your partner—whether it's knocking on windows, shaking their screen, or leaving questionable doodles in your detective notebook.
With five times the content of their previous project, *Parallel Experiment* promises to elevate your cooperative gaming experience to new heights. Mark your calendars for June 5th, and don't forget to visit the Steam page for more information.
