The much-anticipated cooperative puzzler, Parallel Experiment from Eleven Puzzles, initially slated for a March release on Steam, has encountered some unforeseen development hurdles, leading to a delay. Fans can now mark their calendars for June 5th, when the game will make its debut not only on PC but also on Android and iOS platforms.

For those eagerly awaiting the mobile version, the news is even more promising. The developers had considered cutting back on optional puzzles, additional mechanics, and the mobile release to meet the original deadline. However, they've decided to launch all versions simultaneously, ensuring a uniform experience across platforms, complete with crossplay functionality from day one.

In Parallel Experiment, players team up as detectives Ally and Old Dog, ensnared in a sinister plot by the Cryptic Killer. The duo must navigate through a complex series of interdependent puzzles that demand teamwork and communication to progress through the twisted experiment.

With over 80 challenges at your fingertips, you'll find yourself decoding ciphers, manipulating water flows, hacking into systems, and even rousing a slumbering drunk. The game's noir-inspired atmosphere and comic book visuals draw you into an intense, time-sensitive mystery.

But it's not all about solving high-stakes puzzles. Between the main challenges, players can engage in retro-style mini-games with their partners, such as darts, claw machines, and match-three puzzles, all with a cooperative twist that enhances the gameplay experience.

While you bide your time until the June 5th release, you might want to explore some of the best puzzlers available on iOS to keep your mind sharp.

The game also features interactive dialogues that enrich the storyline, with NPCs reacting dynamically to both detectives. And for a bit of fun, each level offers opportunities to playfully irritate your partner, from knocking on windows and shaking their screen to scribbling amusing notes in your detective's notebook.

Boasting five times the content of Eleven Puzzles' previous project, Parallel Experiment promises to elevate your cooperative gaming experiences to new heights. Be sure to check out the Steam page for further details and updates as the release date approaches.
