Timelie for Mac

A stealth puzzle adventure game

Timelie is a single-player adventure game that invites players to witness the thrilling journey of a little girl and her companion cat, who are lost in nowhere. They must use their time traveling power to survive. Developed by Urnique Studio, it’s available on PCs and console. 

Timelie works similarly to Stray, Slime Rancher 2, Animal Well, and Ori and the Blind Fores — which gives you enchanting adventure gameplay with puzzle and platforming elements. In this game, you’ll be put into an abstract world where you need to manipulate time to make it alive.

Features time manipulation mechanic 

In Timelie, every second that passes by matters as you step into the role of a little girl who can turn back time, peek into the future, and visit any point of her life freely. In this gameplay, you’ll have a cat companion. You can also switch between the little girl and the cat. Players must carefully plan their movements and actions to complement the girl and the cat’s powers. 

The player’s objective in this game is to do their best to survive and find the exit door of the abstract world through companionship. Whatever happens, you and your companion cat should stick together. Its gameplay mostly revolves around escaping detections, distracting enemies, and escaping the world where you’re trapped. Your combat here as a player is your ability to manipulate time.  

To control time, as this game uses a point-and-click mechanic, all you must do is drag left to turn back time to the past and change your actions, and drag right to visit your future to get the information you need to undo your past mistakes. You can always just fast forward or backward the timeline to successfully survive the game. However, this kind of gameplay can feel repetitive after some time. 

Travel back in time or visit the future  

For players who are interested in time-traveling adventure games, Timelie is a must-try game. Here, you’ll play as a little girl, or her companion cat and you must successfully escape an abstract world by using your time-traveling ability. As a player, you can rewind time to the past, look at your future, or visit any event or situation in your life freely.
