The captivating PC game, Timelie, has now made its way to Android in early access, bringing its unique charm and intricate mechanics to mobile gamers. This stealth puzzle adventure immerses you in the roles 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 thrust into a time-manipulating stealth puzzle where your mission is to outwit and evade menacing robots. The gameplay revolves around sneaking past adversaries, solving complex puzzles, and cleverly manipulating time. You can pause, rewind, and fast-forward to strategize the perfect sequence of moves, allowing you to progress forward or even backward through the game's challenges.
Your goal is to outsmart the robots that are determined to thwart your escape. The game's atmosphere and interactions guide you in piecing together the puzzle of your journey. You simultaneously control both the girl and her cat, coordinating their actions to avoid detection. The cat can serve as a distraction, enabling 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 experience less frustrating and more engaging for stealth puzzle enthusiasts.
The cat isn't just a distraction; it can access areas the girl can't reach, though sometimes it indulges in typical cat antics, adding a playful dynamic to the duo's relationship. The game's difficulty ramps up cleverly, starting with basic mechanics and timing, and progressing to more complex synchronization challenges between the characters to avoid triggering alarms.
For those seeking an extra challenge, some levels contain optional hidden relics that add to the rewarding experience. To get a better feel for the game, check out the official mobile trailer below:
