Cryptic Killer's Noir Co-Op Game Launches

Two investigators, two halves of one enigma, and a single deranged intellect orchestrating it all. Parallel Experiment, the newest release from Eleven Puzzles, is now playable on Android, as well as Steam and iOS. This cooperative two-player puzzle adventure makes clear communication essential to survival.

The Power of Partnership

You and a friend take on the roles of Ally and Old Dog—two detectives caught in a sinister psychological experiment designed by the Cryptic Killer. This antagonist has appeared in the developer’s earlier titles as well.

Each player views a distinct portion of the game, with neither possessing the complete story. Your advancement hinges entirely on the clues your partner shares, just as theirs depends on you. At times you might decode a cipher or solder electronic components. Other moments call for waking up a character who’s had too much to drink.

With more than 80 puzzles in total, the game features complex locks, mysterious symbols, and scattered documents. Between the investigative challenges, you can also enjoy a few rounds of darts or match-3 puzzles.

Parallel Experiment marks the first entry in the Eleven Puzzles series to expand beyond a single setting. Using an in-game map, you explore various districts of Kraków, tracking your progress through different zones. Along the way, you’ll encounter new locations, hidden secrets, and a host of eccentric locals.

Welcome to the Parallel Experiment

Feel like distracting your partner during a critical moment? The game gives you tools to playfully interfere—knock on their window, shake their screen, or simply give them a poke for fun.

Presented in a noir comic book aesthetic, the experience includes cutscenes spanning nearly 100 illustrated pages. Watch the trailer below to see the style in action!

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