Experience the unique charm and deep mechanics of the popular PC game, Timelie, now available in early access on Android. This stealth puzzle adventure gives you control of a young girl with precognitive abilities and her adorable feline companion.
What is the gameplay like in Timelie?
Timelie is a time-manipulation stealth puzzle game where you evade hostile robots. Sneak past enemies, solve intricate puzzles, and control the flow of time. You can pause, rewind, and fast-forward events to plan the optimal path forward or even retreat.
Your goal is to outsmart relentless robots determined to prevent your escape, piecing together the story through atmospheric exploration and environmental interactions.
You command both characters simultaneously, coordinating their movements to avoid detection. For instance, use the cat to create a diversion while the girl slips past enemies unnoticed.
The game elegantly minimizes frustration from failure. Instead of replaying entire sections, simply drag the timeline back and attempt a different approach—a refreshing mechanic for the stealth-puzzle genre.
Beyond serving as a distraction, the cat assists by accessing spaces too small for the girl. Sometimes, however, its typical feline antics can create more trouble than help, adding charm to the duo's dynamic.
Timelie features cleverly escalating difficulty. Early levels focus on mastering basics and timing, while later stages require precise synchronization of both characters to avoid triggering alarms.
Some levels include optional hidden challenges called relics, offering additional rewards for thorough players. Ready to see the game in action? Take a look below.
Exploring a Surreal Sci-Fi World
Timelie presents a vibrant, abstract visual style that brings an abandoned complex to life. The cohesive color palette, art direction, and world-building are so compelling that many players may be drawn in by the aesthetics alone.
The mobile version is being handled by Snapbreak, while the original game was developed by Urnique Studio. You can download Timelie from the Google Play Store and try Act 1 for free.
