Snapbreak's Timelie: Stealth Puzzle Adventure Hits Early Access on Android

Timelie, a beloved PC game known for its unique charm and intricate mechanics, has now made its way to Android in early access. This stealth puzzle adventure immerses you in a captivating world where you control both a young girl with precognitive abilities and her charming cat companion, navigating through a time-bending challenge to evade evil robots.

What Do You Do in Timelie?

In Timelie, you're thrust into a thrilling time-manipulating stealth puzzle. Your mission? Outwit relentless robots and escape their clutches. You'll sneak past adversaries, unravel complex puzzles, and harness the power of time—pausing, rewinding, and fast-forwarding—to strategize your next move, whether forward or backward in time.

The game's atmosphere and subtle interactions are key to piecing together your escape plan. As you control both the girl and the cat simultaneously, you must synchronize their actions perfectly. The cat can serve as a distraction, enabling the girl to slip by unnoticed, adding a strategic layer to your gameplay.

Timelie's approach to failure is particularly refreshing in the stealth puzzle genre. Instead of restarting from scratch, you can simply drag the timeline back and try a different tactic, reducing the frustration typically associated with such games.

Beyond distractions, the cat proves invaluable, squeezing into tight spots inaccessible to the girl. Yet, true to feline nature, it can sometimes be more of a hindrance than a help, which adds a delightful dynamic to the duo's relationship.

The game cleverly ramps up its difficulty, starting with basics and timing, then challenging you to perfectly synchronize both characters to avoid setting off alarms. Additionally, some levels feature optional relics, providing extra challenges and rewards for those willing to explore further.

A Surreal Sci-Fi World

Timelie's visual appeal lies in its vibrant, abstract art style, which breathes life into even the most abandoned settings. The interplay of colors, art, and context creates an immersive experience that might entice players to engage with the game solely for its aesthetic allure.

Snapbreak is behind the mobile port, while Urnique Studio originally crafted this intriguing world. You can dive into Act 1 of Timelie for free by downloading it from the Google Play Store.
