As we eagerly anticipate the gaming releases of 2025, one title that stands out is the thrilling co-op puzzle crime game, *Parallel Experiment*, brought to us by developer Eleven Puzzles. Set to launch on Steam this March, fans won't have to wait long to dive into this intriguing world. Moreover, a demo for iOS and Android is planned for later this year, paving the way for a full mobile release in the near future.
If you're a fan of cooperative puzzle games like *Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes*, then *Parallel Experiment* will feel right at home. As detectives Ally and Old Dog, players will navigate through separate locations, relying on communication and teamwork to crack over 80 meticulously crafted puzzles. The game features an in-game notebook for tracking clues, cooperative dialogue, and a captivating noir comic book aesthetic. And for a bit of playful banter, players can even knock on windows or poke their partner, adding a layer of fun to the detective work.
**What's in the box?!** Yes, you guessed it—*Parallel Experiment* will support crossplay, a feature that adds a brilliant layer of versatility to the game. While playing on desktop with tools like Discord is straightforward, the ability to play with someone in the same room opens up creative ways to interact and even distract your partner, making each session uniquely engaging.
Although the concept of co-op puzzle games isn't new, the extensive testing and refinement in the gaming industry promise that *Parallel Experiment* will deliver an exceptional experience, especially when it finally arrives on mobile devices.
