The captivating PC game, *Timelie*, known for its unique charm and intricate mechanics, has now made its way to Android in early access. This stealth puzzle adventure game lets you control both a young girl endowed with precognitive abilities and her endearing cat companion, immersing you in a thrilling experience filled with time manipulation and stealth challenges.
What Do You Do in Timelie?
In *Timelie*, you're thrust into a time-bending stealth puzzle game where the primary adversaries are menacing robots. The gameplay revolves around sneaking past these enemies, solving complex puzzles, and manipulating time to your advantage. You can pause, rewind, or fast-forward time to strategize the optimal path—whether that's moving forward or cleverly retracing your steps.
Your mission is to outsmart the robots that are relentless in their pursuit to thwart your escape. The game’s narrative unfolds through its atmospheric setting and character interactions, challenging you to piece together the story as you progress.
A unique aspect of *Timelie* is the simultaneous control of both the girl and the cat. Coordinating their actions is crucial for evading detection; the cat can serve as a distraction, allowing the girl to slip past unnoticed. This dual control adds a layer of complexity and strategy to the gameplay.
One of the game's refreshing features is its approach to failure. Rather than restarting from scratch, you can simply drag the timeline back to retry a different strategy, making the experience less frustrating and more engaging for stealth puzzle enthusiasts.
The cat isn’t just a distraction; it's a versatile companion that can access tight spaces unreachable by the girl. However, true to its feline nature, it can sometimes be more of a hindrance than a help, adding a humorous touch to the dynamic between the characters.
*Timelie* smartly escalates in difficulty. Initially, it focuses on teaching you the basics and honing your timing skills. As you advance, the challenge shifts to synchronizing the movements of both characters without setting off alarms, testing your strategic planning and timing further.
For the more dedicated players, some levels offer optional hidden challenges called relics, adding an extra layer of depth and reward to the game. If you're curious about *Timelie*, why not take a peek at the gameplay through the official mobile trailer?

The mobile version is being handled by Snapbreak, while the original development was undertaken by Urnique Studio. You can download *Timelie* from the Google Play Store and enjoy Act 1 for free.
