The enchanting PC game, Timelie, has made its way to Android in early access, bringing its unique charm and intricate mechanics to mobile players. This stealth puzzle adventure places you in command of a precognitive little girl and her charming cat companion, navigating a world filled with evil robots and time-bending puzzles.
What Do You Do in Timelie?
In Timelie, you're thrown into a time-manipulating stealth puzzle where your mission is to outwit menacing robots and escape their grasp. The gameplay revolves around sneaking past enemies, solving complex puzzles, and cleverly manipulating time. You can pause, rewind, and fast-forward through the timeline to strategize the perfect moves, whether moving forward or backward.
Your challenge is to outsmart these relentless robots, piecing together the path to freedom through atmospheric cues and interactive elements. You simultaneously control both the girl and her cat, synchronizing their actions to avoid detection. The cat can serve as a decoy, allowing the girl to slip past unnoticed.
One of Timelie's refreshing features is its approach to failure. Instead of starting over from scratch, you can simply drag the timeline back and attempt a different strategy, making the experience less frustrating and more engaging for a stealth puzzle game.
The cat isn't just for distractions; it can access areas the girl can't reach, though sometimes it may behave like a typical mischievous feline, adding a playful dynamic to the duo's journey. The game's difficulty progresses cleverly, starting with basic mechanics and timing, then advancing to more complex synchronization challenges without triggering alarms.
For those seeking an extra challenge, some levels hide optional relics that enhance the rewarding nature of the gameplay. Curious about what Timelie looks like? Take a peek at the official mobile trailer below:
