The captivating PC game, Timelie, renowned for its unique charm and intricate mechanics, has now made its way to Android in early access. This game offers a thrilling stealth puzzle adventure where you take command of both a precognitive little girl and her charming cat companion.
What Do You Do in Timelie?
Timelie is a time-bending stealth puzzle game where you confront evil robots. Your mission involves sneaking past enemies, solving challenging puzzles, and manipulating time to your advantage. You can pause, rewind, and fast-forward to strategize the best path forward or even backward.
Your goal is to outsmart robots determined to thwart your escape. You piece together the narrative through the game's atmosphere and character interactions.
You simultaneously control both the girl and the cat, requiring you to coordinate their movements to evade detection. The cat serves as a distraction, allowing the girl to slip past unnoticed.
One of Timelie's standout features is its approach to failure. Instead of restarting from scratch, you can simply drag the timeline back and attempt a different strategy, making the gameplay less frustrating and more engaging.
The cat isn't just a distraction; it can also access tight spaces the girl can't reach. Sometimes, however, it behaves like a typical cat, adding a humorous yet challenging dynamic to your journey.
The game's difficulty progresses cleverly. Initially, you focus on mastering the basics and perfecting your timing. Later levels challenge you to synchronize the movements of both characters without setting off alarms.
For those seeking extra challenges, some levels feature optional hidden relics that add an extra layer of reward to your gameplay.
A Surreal Sci-Fi World
Timelie boasts colorful, abstract visuals that breathe life into even the most abandoned complexes. The interplay of colors, art style, and context is so compelling that some players might be drawn to the game purely for its aesthetics.
Snapbreak is responsible for the mobile version, while Urnique Studio developed the original. You can download Timelie from the Google Play Store and experience Act 1 for free.
