Parallel Experiment Unlocks in March – Two Can Play That Game, but Only Together

Eleven Puzzles cracked the case on the release date for Parallel Experiment, confirming that the cooperative puzzle game will launch on Steam on March 6th.

A demo is available now, offering players a taste of the mind-bending puzzles and intense teamwork required to survive the Cryptic Killer’s latest deadly game.

A Puzzle Only Two Can Solve

At its core, Parallel Experiment is a two-player cooperative puzzle game in which communication is key. Players take on the roles of detectives Ally and Old Dog, who become ensnared in the elaborate schemes of the infamous Cryptic Killer.

The twist?

Each player has only half the puzzle, so success hinges entirely on teamwork, communication, and clever problem-solving.

With over 80 unique puzzles, Parallel Experiment pushes the boundaries of the co-op puzzle genre.

From deciphering cryptic ciphers and redirecting water flows to hacking computers and even waking up a drunk. The developer designs every challenge to work through collaboration.

If you think you know puzzle games, this one promises to bring something fresh.

More Ways to Play

Though launching first on Steam, Parallel Experiment will expand to Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android later this year, featuring crossplay support across all platforms. Players can team up seamlessly on PC or mobile for a smooth, cooperative experience.

For those eager to get started, Eleven Puzzles suggests checking out their previous title, Unboxing the Cryptic Killer, which offers a deeper look into the game’s world and characters.

However, Parallel Experiment is designed as a standalone experience, making it accessible to newcomers while offering satisfying depth for returning fans.

Beyond the Investigation

Beyond its core mystery, Parallel Experiment also brings in a dose of lighthearted fun. The game features co-op minigames that offer a break from the primary investigation, with fresh twists on arcade classics like darts, claw machines, and Match Three.

And because no co-op game is complete without some friendly sabotage, players can poke, distract, and shake their partner’s screen—why not?

The game’s noir-inspired comic book art style brings the detective story to life. Its detailed, hand-drawn environments resemble pages of a graphic novel, adding to the immersion.

Players can also draw notes directly onto the game world, allowing for creative problem-solving—or doodling nonsense.

Indie Dedication to Co-Op Puzzles

Eleven Puzzles has carved out a niche in the cooperative puzzle space, proving that team-based puzzlers have a dedicated audience.

Their previous free title, Unsolved Case, has been downloaded over 8 million times, showcasing the demand and cooperative challenges.

With Parallel Experiment already amassing 60K+ wishlists, the excitement is evident.

For puzzle enthusiasts and co-op gaming fans, Parallel Experiment could be a must-play.

The demo is available now, and with the full release set for March 6th, players won’t have to wait long to see if they can outwit the Cryptic Killer—together.

Are you ready to put your teamwork to the test?
