Dive into the captivating world of Timelie, a unique stealth puzzle adventure now available on Android in early access. This game blends charm and intricate mechanics, placing you in command of a young girl endowed with precognitive abilities and her charming feline companion as they navigate a time-bending challenge against hostile robots.
What Do You Do in Timelie?
In Timelie, you're thrust into a thrilling time-manipulating stealth puzzle, where the objective is to outwit and evade relentless robots. The gameplay revolves around sneaking past adversaries, solving complex puzzles, and masterfully manipulating time. You'll pause, rewind, and fast-forward through the timeline to strategize the perfect path forward—or backward.
Your mission is to outsmart the robots that are hell-bent on thwarting your escape. The game’s narrative unfolds through its immersive atmosphere and the interactions between characters, adding depth to the experience.
You simultaneously control both protagonists—the girl and her cat. This dual control demands precise coordination to avoid detection; the cat often serves as a distraction, allowing the girl to slip by unnoticed.
Timelie innovates by making failure less daunting. Instead of starting over from scratch, you can simply drag the timeline back and attempt a different strategy. This mechanic is a refreshing twist in the stealth puzzle genre, reducing frustration and encouraging experimentation.
The cat isn’t just a decoy; it can access tight spaces the girl can’t reach, enhancing your problem-solving toolkit. Yet, it also embodies the typical feline antics, sometimes causing more chaos than aid, which adds a playful dynamic to the duo’s relationship.
The game cleverly escalates in difficulty. Initially, it focuses on teaching you the fundamentals and perfecting your timing. As you progress, the challenge shifts to synchronizing the movements of both characters without setting off alarms.
For those seeking an extra challenge, some levels feature hidden relics—optional yet rewarding collectibles that test your skills further.
A Surreal Sci-Fi World
Timelie boasts vibrant, abstract visuals that breathe life into even the most desolate settings. The colorful art style, combined with the game's context, creates an aesthetic so compelling that some players might be drawn to it purely for its visual allure.
Snapbreak is steering the mobile adaptation, originally crafted by Urnique Studio. You can experience Timelie for yourself by downloading it from the Google Play Store, where Act 1 is available to play for free.
