The captivating PC game, Timelie, has now made its way to Android in early access, bringing its unique charm and intricate mechanics to mobile players. This stealth puzzle adventure immerses you in the roles of a young girl with precognitive abilities and her charming cat companion, navigating a world filled with evil robots.
In Timelie, you're thrust into a time-bending stealth puzzle where your mission is to outwit and evade menacing robots. The gameplay revolves around sneaking past enemies, solving complex puzzles, and manipulating time to your advantage. You can pause, rewind, and fast-forward through time to strategize the best path forward—or backward—to progress.
Your goal is to outsmart the robots that are determined to thwart your escape. The game's atmosphere and interactions help you piece together the narrative and gameplay mechanics. You control both the girl and the cat simultaneously, requiring you to coordinate their movements to avoid detection. The cat can serve as a distraction, allowing the girl to sneak past obstacles.
One of Timelie's standout features is its approach to failure. Instead of restarting from scratch, you can simply drag the timeline back and try a different strategy, making the experience less frustrating and more engaging for stealth puzzle enthusiasts.
The cat isn't just a distraction; it can also access areas the girl can't reach, though sometimes it behaves like a typical cat, adding a playful dynamic to the duo's interactions. As you progress, the game cleverly ramps up the difficulty, starting with basic mechanics and timing, and evolving into more complex synchronization challenges to avoid triggering alarms.
For those seeking an extra challenge, some levels feature optional hidden relics that add to the game's replay value. Curious about how it looks? Check out the official mobile trailer below:
Timelie's world is brought to life with vibrant, abstract visuals that transform even an abandoned complex into a lively setting. The game's art style, colors, and context blend seamlessly, making it visually appealing enough for some players to enjoy it for its aesthetics alone.
Snapbreak is behind the mobile version, while Urnique Studio originally developed the game. You can download Timelie from the Google Play Store and experience Act 1 for free.
