With its unique charm and deep mechanics, the popular PC game Timelie has now made its way to Android devices in early access. This game offers an intriguing blend of stealth and puzzle-solving, immersing players in a time-bending adventure where they control both a young girl with precognitive abilities and her endearing cat companion.
What Do You Do in Timelie?
In Timelie, you navigate through a captivating time-bending stealth puzzle adventure, facing off against evil robots. The gameplay revolves around sneaking past adversaries, solving complex puzzles, and manipulating time to your advantage. You can pause, rewind, or fast-forward to strategize the most effective paths forward—or even backward.
Your mission involves outsmarting these robots that seem determined to thwart your escape. The game's narrative unfolds through its atmosphere and interactions, requiring you to piece together the storyline as you progress.
A standout feature of Timelie is the simultaneous control of both the girl and her cat. You must synchronize their movements to evade detection, using the cat to create distractions while the girl slips by unnoticed.
One of the game's innovative mechanics is its approach to failure. Rather than restarting from scratch, you can simply drag the timeline back to retry a different approach, making the experience less frustrating and more engaging for stealth puzzle enthusiasts.
The cat not only serves as a distraction but also aids in other ways, such as accessing tight spaces the girl can’t reach. However, true to its feline nature, it sometimes adds a bit of mischief to the mix, enhancing the dynamic between the two characters.
Timelie's difficulty ramps up cleverly, starting with basic mechanics and timing, then evolving into more complex scenarios where you must meticulously coordinate both characters to avoid triggering alarms.
For those seeking additional challenges, the game includes optional relics hidden within levels, adding an extra layer of reward for dedicated players.
