Noir Co-Op Game From Cryptic Killer Team Launches

Two detectives, fractured perceptions, and a sinister architect pulling the strings. Eleven Puzzles unveils Parallel Experiment, now available on Android, Steam, and iOS—a cooperative puzzle adventure where communication becomes your survival tool.

Two Is Better Than One

Players take on the roles of Ally and Old Dog, detectives ensnared in a psychological torment orchestrated by the notorious Cryptic Killer—a recurrent antagonist in the developer's previous works.

Each detective perceives entirely different realities within the game, forcing partners to bridge the divide through constant communication. One might decode ciphers while the other repairs circuitry; one could be analyzing crime scenes while the other wakes drunken informants.

With over 80 diverse puzzles ranging from elaborate locking mechanisms to cryptic manuscripts, Parallel Experiment intersperses cerebral challenges with arcade-style mini-games. Players might find themselves matching tiles one moment and interpreting occult symbols the next.

Marking Eleven Puzzles' first multi-location adventure, the game transports players across Kraków through an evolving map system. New districts reveal fresh mysteries, hidden lore, and peculiar characters lurking in the shadows.

It’s a Parallel Experiment

Beyond solving crimes, partners gain playful tools to disrupt each other's investigations—rapping on virtual windows, startling partners with screen shakes, or delivering persistent digital pokes.

The noir-inspired comic aesthetic spans nearly 100 animated graphic novel pages for narrative sequences. Witness the stylized madness unfold in the official trailer:

Parallel Experiment features full cross-platform compatibility. Android users can currently claim a 20% launch discount, bringing the price to $6.99 for the first fortnight. Visit the official website for downloads.
