Parallel Experiment's Steam launch delayed to June, syncing with mobile versions

Fans eagerly awaiting the launch of Parallel Experiment, the cooperative puzzler from Eleven Puzzles, will need to mark a new date on their calendars. Originally set for a March release on Steam, the game's launch has been delayed due to unforeseen development challenges. However, the wait will be worth it as Parallel Experiment is now scheduled to hit Steam, Android, and iOS simultaneously on June 5th, promising a unified launch across platforms.

For those looking forward to the mobile versions, the news is even better. The developers had considered scaling back optional puzzles, additional mechanics, and possibly the mobile version itself to meet the original deadline. Thankfully, they've decided to maintain the full scope of the game across all platforms, ensuring a comprehensive experience. With crossplay available from the start, you can team up with friends regardless of their chosen platform.

In Parallel Experiment, you and your partner step into the shoes of detectives Ally and Old Dog, embroiled in a twisted experiment masterminded by the Cryptic Killer. Your only way out is by solving a series of intricately linked puzzles that demand close teamwork and effective communication.

The game boasts over 80 challenges, from deciphering ciphers and redirecting water flows to hacking computers and even rousing a drunk character. The noir-inspired setting, paired with a captivating comic book art style, draws you deep into a gripping mystery, setting the stage for a tense race against time.

While the puzzles are the heart of Parallel Experiment, there's more to the experience. Between solving mysteries, you can engage in retro-style mini-games with your partner, including darts, claw machines, and match-three puzzles, each designed with cooperative elements to keep the fun going.

Interactive dialogues add another layer of intrigue, with NPCs responding dynamically to both detectives. And for those moments when you want to lighten the mood, every level offers playful ways to tease your partner—be it by knocking on windows, shaking their screen, or doodling amusing notes in your detective notebook.

With five times the content of Eleven Puzzles' previous project, Parallel Experiment is set to elevate cooperative gameplay to new heights. Mark your calendars for June 5th and visit the game's Steam page for more details and updates.
