The enchanting world of the popular PC game Timelie has now made its way to Android devices in early access, offering a unique stealth puzzle adventure. In this captivating game, you take control of a young girl endowed with precognitive abilities and her charming cat companion as they navigate a world filled with evil robots.
What Do You Do in Timelie?
Timelie is a thrilling time-bending stealth puzzle where your primary objective is to outwit and evade menacing robots. You'll sneak past adversaries, solve intricate puzzles, and cleverly manipulate time to find the best path forward—or even backward. With the ability to pause, rewind, and fast-forward, you can strategically plan your moves to ensure a successful escape.
The game challenges you to piece together the narrative through its atmospheric setting and character interactions. You control both the girl and her cat simultaneously, requiring precise coordination to avoid detection. The cat serves as a helpful distraction, allowing the girl to slip past unnoticed, and can squeeze into tight spaces that the girl can't access. However, the feline companion also adds a touch of realism with its typical cat antics, which can sometimes be more of a hindrance than a help, adding to the dynamic between the two characters.
One of Timelie's standout features is its approach to failure. Instead of restarting from the beginning, you can simply drag the timeline back and try a different strategy, making the game less frustrating and more enjoyable for players tackling stealth puzzles.
The game's difficulty ramps up cleverly. Initially, you'll focus on mastering the basics and getting the timing right, but as you progress, the challenge shifts to synchronizing the movements of both characters without setting off alarms. Additionally, hidden challenges known as relics offer optional yet rewarding experiences for those looking to delve deeper into the game.
A Surreal Sci-Fi World
Timelie boasts vibrant, abstract visuals that breathe life into even the most abandoned settings. The game's colorful art style, combined with its intriguing context, creates an immersive experience that some players might enjoy solely for its aesthetic appeal.
The mobile version of Timelie is being handled by Snapbreak, while the original development was undertaken by Urnique Studio. You can download Timelie from the Google Play Store and explore Act 1 for free.
