A point-and-click adventure game, focused entirely on cooperative gameplay involving detectives controlled by 2 different players. Parallel Experiment takes us to the Polish city of Krakow. The detectives must work together to solve various puzzles and to obtain information from the NPCs.
Parallel Experiment is a detective point-and-click adventure game developed by the independent Polish studio Eleven Puzzles. The game belongs to the Cryptic Killer series, started by Unboxing the Cryptic Killer. Familiarity with the first title under this brand is not necessary to understand the story told here.
Parallel Experiment was developed entirely with online cooperative gameplay in mind.
The main element of the game is solving puzzles. Each player receives their own puzzle to solve, but they are interconnected and equipped with clues that allow the player on the other side to deal with the problems that have fallen to their lot.
We have to perform various tasks in the game, like search for computer s, redirect water flow, break codes, open complex locks, and undertake even more complicated activities, including waking up a drunk person.
This is not the end, as NPCs with whom we conduct conversations are an important source of information for us. The dialogues were also prepared in such a way that both people could participate in them simultaneously. We also have a notebook in which we can write down our observations and create simple drawings.
During breaks from conducting the investigation, we can check out various mini-games, such as darts, matching three elements, or catching objects. Apart from that, we can annoy our colleague, for example by tapping on the window of the room they are in or shaking their screen.
The action of Parallel Experiment takes place in the Polish city of Krakow, so among the locations waiting to be visited, we will find the Wawel underground. We take on the roles of Ally and Old Dog - a duo of detectives following the trail of the dangerous Cryptic Killer. The protagonists fell victim to the titular experiment, which forces them to rise to intellectual heights.
There are no singleplayer modes in Parallel Experiment. The game only allows for cooperative gameplay. Thanks to the cross-play feature, owners of versions from different platforms can play together.
