Makers of Cryptic Killer Launch Noir Co-op Game Parallel

Two detectives, two halves of one enigma, and a single twisted mind orchestrating it all. Parallel Experiment, the newest release from Eleven Puzzles, is now out on Android, as well as on Steam and iOS. This two-player cooperative puzzle adventure makes clear communication your most vital tool.

Two Is Better Than One

You and a partner take on the roles of Ally and Old Dog, a pair of detectives trapped inside a disturbing psychological experiment crafted by the Cryptic Killer—a name recurring in the developer's previous titles.

Each player views a different side of the story, and neither possesses the complete picture. Your advancement depends entirely on the clues your partner provides, just as their progress hinges on yours. At times you may find yourself deciphering codes or soldering electronic components. Other moments call for rousing a drunken character from their stupor.

The game features more than 80 puzzles in total. Expect to encounter complex locks, mysterious symbols, and scattered documents. Beyond the core mysteries, you’ll also enjoy quick diversions like dart games and match-3 puzzles.

Parallel Experiment is the first game in the Eleven Puzzles series to expand beyond a single setting. Using an in-game map, you'll explore various districts of Kraków, tracking your progress across different locales. Along the way, you will discover new environments, uncover additional secrets, and meet plenty of eccentric locals.

It’s a Parallel Experiment

Ever tempted to distract your partner mid-case? This game gives you the tools to do just that. Knock on their window, make their screen shake, or simply give them a playful poke.

Styled like a noir comic book, the adventure includes cutscenes spanning nearly 100 pages. Get a feel for the atmosphere by watching the trailer below.

Parallel Experiment offers cross-platform play across all devices. On Android, it is priced at $6.99, with a 20% launch discount active for the first two weeks. Visit the official website to learn more.
