This release marks a colossal milestone for our tiny team. Parallel Experiment is by far our most ambitious project yet — and with only 7 of us, it’s been a wild ride. The scope was big, the technical challenges even bigger. But today, we’re proud. We’ve built something we believe is truly special — and we’re thrilled to finally share it with you.

Thank you for your incredible support and patience. We hope it was worth the wait. Please accept our deepest gratitude.

Detectives!

We planned to release the game on March 6th and were working day and night to meet that deadline. However, unforeseen obstacles significantly slowed our progress. In our effort to deliver the game on time and at our high standards, we had to cut some "nice-to-have" elements: extra features, optional puzzles, and even the mobile version. But we soon realized we had cut too much.

You deserve to experience Parallel Experiment as we envisioned it from the beginning. We can’t release a game missing key elements. It wouldn’t be right. So we've made the difficult decision to push the release to June 5th, 2025. This extra time will allow us to polish every aspect of the game and restore all that we cut, ensuring a perfect Parallel Experiment experience on day one.

We’re truly sorry for letting you down, but we believe it's better to launch a complete game with all the bells and whistles rather than a half-baked release. You deserve better, and we hope you understand.
Keep in mind that Parallel Experiment is a completely new challenge for us. It is five times longer than our previous game and many times more mechanically complex. It features many new elements and puzzles unlike anything you've seen before. We're navigating uncharted territory, that’s why we couldn’t predict exactly when we'd reach our destination.

One thing is certain: Parallel Experiment is shaping up to be really fun to play! Our playtesting sessions have produced rave reactions, hindered only by the unpolished state of some areas. With the extra time to smooth out the experience, you'll be playing something truly special.

Thank you so much for your continued support. We ask that you bear with us just a little longer. The wait will be worth it.

P.S. In a week or two we’re releasing a new trailer that’ll showcase many new areas. Keep an eye out for that!

We’re beyond excited to share that Parallel Experiment will be launching on March 6, 2025! This game is truly special, and we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved. While we’re still ironing out some final details and polishing the game, we’re thrilled to announce the launch date!

[h2]What's the story?[/h2]

After getting tricked by the Cryptic Killer in Unboxing the Cryptic Killer, detectives Old Dog and Ally are back on the quest to capture the criminal. A series of cryptic clues leads them across the city, taking them closer to uncovering his grand scheme: the Parallel Experiment. While the detectives are uncertain about the Cryptic Killer's exact plans, they know they must act fast to stop him. One question remains: Are they closing in on the Cryptic Killer, or walking into yet another one of his traps?

[h2]Wondering why Parallel Experiment took so long to develop?[/h2]

It’s because we’re pushing the boundaries of cooperative puzzle design to deliver a game that delights you with clever design, an intriguing story, unique puzzles, compelling characters, and beautiful comic-book-like graphics.

More importantly, this is a game we wish we could play ourselves. Sadly, we won’t be able to experience it for the first time, but you will. We envy you and are very proud of what we’ve accomplished!
