Timelie

Timelie follows a girl with precognitive abilities and a cat as they try to escape a strange place guarded by robots. The game tells its story through surreal scenes and leaves much of its meaning open to interpretation.

Each level is a stealth puzzle: plan routes around patrols, use switches and doors, and find ways to avoid or distract enemies. A timeline lets you pause, rewind mistakes, or move forward to see what happens before choosing your next actions.

As the journey progresses, you control both the girl and the cat, coordinating their movements and abilities to get through rooms. Some stages connect across different viewpoints or build on earlier actions, while optional level challenges and relics add goals beyond reaching the exit.

Players often praise the timeline mechanic for making it quick to test and revise plans, and for supporting inventive stealth puzzles, especially when coordinating the girl and cat. Reviews also frequently enjoy the art, music, and relaxed pace. Some find that later puzzles rely on precise timing or trial and error, while others criticize the abstract story, slow level selection or cutscenes, and unclear optional challenge requirements.
