Parallel Experiment's Steam launch delayed to June, syncing with Android and iOS releases

The much-anticipated cooperative puzzle game, Parallel Experiment from Eleven Puzzles, originally slated for a Steam launch in March, has encountered some unforeseen challenges. Now, gamers will have to wait until June 5th to tackle the Cryptic Killer in this intriguing adventure, as the game will simultaneously release on PC, Android, and iOS.

For those eagerly awaiting Parallel Experiment on mobile platforms, the news could have been worse. The developers had contemplated scaling back optional puzzles, additional mechanics, and even the mobile version to meet the initial deadline. However, the decision to release all versions together is a boon for players, especially with crossplay functionality available from the start.

In Parallel Experiment, you and a partner embody detectives Ally and Old Dog, caught in a sinister experiment by the Cryptic Killer. Your escape hinges on solving a web of interdependent puzzles that demand teamwork and communication. With over 80 unique challenges, you'll be cracking codes, manipulating water flows, hacking systems, and even rousing a sleeping drunk. The game's noir-inspired setting and comic book art style heighten the immersive experience, thrusting you into a gripping race against time.

But it's not all about high-stakes puzzles. Between solving mysteries, you can engage your partner in retro-style mini-games like darts, claw machines, and match-three puzzles, each with a cooperative twist, adding a fun layer to the gameplay.

While you wait for the June 5th launch, dive into our curated list of the best puzzlers to play on iOS to keep your brain sharp.

Interactive dialogues with NPCs enrich the mystery, responding dynamically to both detectives' actions. And for a bit of mischief, each level offers ways to playfully annoy your partner, from knocking on windows to doodling in your detective notebook.

With five times the content of their previous project, Parallel Experiment promises to elevate your cooperative gaming experience. Mark your calendars for June 5th and head over to the Steam page for more details.
