The captivating PC game, Timelie, renowned for its unique charm and intricate mechanics, has now made its way to Android devices in early access. This stealth puzzle adventure immerses you in a world where you command both a young girl endowed with precognitive abilities and her endearing feline companion.
What Do You Do in Timelie?
In Timelie, you navigate a time-bending stealth puzzle environment, engaging in strategic battles against menacing robots. The gameplay revolves around stealthily evading enemies, solving challenging puzzles, and manipulating time itself. You can pause, rewind, and fast-forward to strategize the most effective paths forward or backward.
Your goal is to outwit the robots that are intent on thwarting your escape. The narrative unfolds through the atmosphere and subtle interactions, encouraging you to piece together the story as you progress.
You control both the girl and her cat simultaneously, requiring precise coordination of their movements to evade detection. The cat can serve as a distraction, allowing the girl to sneak past obstacles. This dual-control aspect adds a layer of complexity and fun to the gameplay.
One of Timelie’s standout features is its forgiving approach to failure. Instead of restarting from scratch, you can simply drag the timeline back and attempt a different strategy, which is particularly refreshing for a stealth puzzle game.
The cat isn’t just a distraction; it can access areas the girl can’t, though it often indulges in typical cat antics, adding both charm and occasional challenges to the gameplay. The relationship between the girl and her cat companion is a dynamic and integral part of the game.
The game’s difficulty scales cleverly. Initially, you’ll focus on mastering the basics and perfecting your timing. As you advance, the challenge increases, demanding meticulous synchronization of both characters to avoid setting off alarms.
Additionally, some levels feature optional hidden challenges known as relics, which add an extra layer of engagement and reward for those who seek them out. Curious about the game? Take a look at the official mobile trailer here:

Timelie’s environment is a visually striking blend of colorful, abstract art that breathes life into even the most desolate settings. The combination of vibrant colors, distinctive art style, and immersive context makes the game a visual treat, appealing to players who appreciate aesthetics as much as gameplay.
Snapbreak is managing the mobile version, while the original development was undertaken by Urnique Studio. You can experience Timelie on your Android device by downloading it from the Google Play Store, where Act 1 is available to play for free.
