The captivating PC game, Timelie, renowned for its unique charm and intricate mechanics, has now made its way to Android in early access. This stealth puzzle adventure game immerses players in a world where they control both a precognitive little girl and her charming cat companion, navigating through a time-bending narrative to outwit evil robots.
What Do You Do in Timelie?
Timelie is a fascinating time-bending stealth puzzle game where players engage in evading robotic adversaries, solving complex puzzles, and manipulating time to their advantage. The gameplay allows you to pause, rewind, and fast-forward through time to strategize the optimal path forward—or backward—to progress.
The main objective is to outsmart the relentless robots that obstruct your path to freedom. The game encourages you to piece together the story through its rich atmosphere and character interactions.
Controlling both the girl and the cat simultaneously, players must coordinate their movements to avoid detection. The cat can serve as a distraction, enabling the girl to sneak past obstacles. This dual-control mechanic adds a layer of strategic depth to the gameplay.
One of Timelie's standout features is its forgiving approach to failure. Instead of starting over from scratch, players can simply drag the timeline back and attempt a different strategy, making the experience less frustrating and more engaging for stealth puzzle enthusiasts.
Beyond distractions, the cat proves useful by accessing tight spaces unreachable by the girl. However, its unpredictable nature can sometimes complicate matters, adding humor and dynamism to the relationship between the two characters.
The game's difficulty progresses cleverly, starting with basics and timing, and evolving into more complex synchronization challenges between the two characters to evade alarms in later levels.
For those seeking an extra challenge, Timelie includes optional hidden relics in some levels, offering additional rewards for the keen-eyed player. Curious about how it looks? Here's a glimpse into the game:
