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 game lets you control a young girl with precognitive abilities and her charming cat companion as they navigate a world filled with evil robots.
What Do You Do in Timelie?
In *Timelie*, you dive into a time-manipulating stealth puzzle experience where the objective is to outwit and evade menacing robots. The gameplay revolves around sneaking past foes, solving challenging puzzles, and cleverly using time manipulation mechanics. You can pause, rewind, and fast-forward time to devise the most effective strategies for moving forward or even backward through the game's environment.
Your goal is to outsmart the relentless robots that are determined to thwart your escape. The narrative unfolds through an atmospheric setting and the interactions between characters. You simultaneously control both the girl and her cat, requiring precise coordination of their movements. The cat can serve as a distraction, enabling the girl to slip by undetected, adding a layer of strategy to the gameplay.
One of *Timelie*'s refreshing features is its approach to failure. Rather than restarting from scratch, you can simply drag the timeline back and attempt a different tactic, which makes the experience less frustrating and more engaging for a stealth puzzle game.
The cat isn't just there for distractions; it can access areas the girl can't reach, adding versatility to your puzzle-solving toolkit. Though sometimes it behaves like a typical cat, causing more mischief than help, these moments contribute to the endearing dynamic between the two protagonists.
The game's difficulty progresses cleverly, starting with basic mechanics and timing challenges, and later demanding more complex synchronization of both characters to avoid setting off alarms. Additionally, some levels feature optional hidden challenges known as relics, which offer a rewarding extra layer of gameplay.
