Timelie: Stealth Puzzle Game in Android Early Access

Popular PC game Timelie, celebrated for its intriguing concept and polished mechanics, is now available in early access on Android. This stealth puzzle adventure lets you command a young girl with precognitive abilities and her charming feline partner.

Timelie Gameplay Explained

This title blends time control with stealth-based challenges, tasking you with evading hostile robotic units. Sneak past opponents, solve environmental puzzles, and manipulate the flow of time itself. With the ability to pause, rewind, and fast-forward events, you can meticulously craft the optimal path—whether moving ahead or backtracking through moments.

Your goal is to outwit relentless robots determined to prevent your escape. Understanding the story is achieved through environmental cues and subtle interactions.

You simultaneously control both protagonists—the girl and the cat. Success requires coordinating their actions to avoid detection, often using the cat to create diversions while the girl slips by unnoticed.

Timelie reduces frustration by removing the sting of failure. Instead of restarting levels, you can simply drag the timeline to any point and attempt a new strategy—a welcome innovation in stealth puzzle design.

Beyond serving as a distraction, the cat assists in practical ways, such as accessing areas too small for the girl. Occasionally, however, it behaves like any typical cat, complicating situations more than helping! These moments reinforce the duo's dynamic relationship.

The game smartly escalates difficulty. Initial stages focus on mastering basic mechanics and timing. Later levels demand precise synchronization between both characters to bypass alarm systems.

Certain stages include optional hidden objectives called relics, offering additional challenges and rewards. Curious to see the game in action? Take a look at the trailer below.
