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

With its unique charm and intricate mechanics, the beloved PC game Timelie has now made its way to Android in early access. This stealth puzzle adventure places you in command of both a young girl with precognitive abilities and her charming feline companion, immersing you in a world of time manipulation and evasion.

What Do You Do in Timelie?

Timelie offers a time-bending stealth puzzle experience where you combat malevolent robots. Your mission involves sneaking past adversaries, solving complex puzzles, and manipulating time to your advantage. You can pause, rewind, and fast-forward to devise the optimal strategy for navigating through the game, whether moving forward or backward in time.

The challenge lies in outsmarting robots intent on thwarting your escape. You'll need to piece together clues through the game's atmosphere and interactive elements.

Controlling both the girl and the cat simultaneously, you must synchronize their movements to evade detection. The cat can serve as a distraction, enabling the girl to slip past unnoticed. This coordination is key to progressing through the game.

One of Timelie's innovative features is its approach to failure. Instead of restarting from the beginning, you can simply drag the timeline back and try an alternative strategy. This mechanic significantly reduces the frustration often associated with stealth puzzle games.

The cat's role extends beyond mere distractions; it can access tight spaces the girl cannot reach. However, true to its nature, the cat sometimes adds a bit of chaos, which only enriches the dynamic between the two characters.

The game's difficulty ramps up cleverly. Initially, it focuses on mastering the basics and perfecting timing, but later stages demand precise synchronization of both characters to avoid triggering alarms.

For those seeking an extra challenge, some levels feature optional hidden relics, adding depth and reward to the gameplay experience. Curious about how it all looks? Take a peek at the game with the official mobile trailer:

A Surreal Sci-Fi World

Timelie's world is brought to life with vibrant, abstract visuals that breathe energy into even the most desolate settings. The harmonious blend of colors, art style, and thematic context might entice players to experience the game solely for its aesthetic appeal.

Snapbreak is at the helm of the mobile version, while Urnique Studio originally crafted this captivating title. You can download Timelie from the Google Play Store and enjoy Act 1 for free.
