$17.99Timelie Rewind, rethink, escape
A stealth puzzle adventure where time works like a media player: rewind your mistakes, peek at the future, then watch your plan unfold. Guide a girl with precognitive powers and a mysterious cat past patrolling robots, through a colorful, surreal world that ends somewhere surprisingly moving.

Time is your undo button
Every level hands you a timeline you scrub like a video. Drag it left and your mistakes never happened; drag it right and you watch the future play out before you commit to a single step. See where a robot will turn, when a bridge will collapse, which moment leaves a gap in the patrol. Then rewind, adjust your route, and try again. The best part comes after you solve a level: the game plays back your final run in real time, and the girl glides past every danger in one clean, unbroken take, as if you saw it all coming. Which, in a way, you did.
A girl and a cat, working the same timeline
You control both characters on the same board, switching between them and timing their moves to complement each other. The girl can repair broken paths and, later, deal with robots directly; the cat can meow to lure a guard's attention, then slip into a duct the girl could never fit through. The puzzles lean on that split: one of you creates the opening, the other takes it. Picture the cat calling out around a corner, a robot trundling over to investigate, and the girl crossing the space it was watching. Later chapters add parallel timelines where two versions of the girl have to help each other while staying out of each other's way, and the planning gets properly satisfying.
How long does it take to finish?
Is there a story, or is it just puzzles?
There is a story, but it never uses words. The girl wakes in a strange, decaying realm, robots wake with her, and the plot unfolds through what happens on screen rather than dialogue or text. It stays deliberately cryptic, and the ending lands differently depending on how much you piece together. For some, the final stretch is genuinely emotional; others find it too vague. Either way, the puzzles themselves carry the drama, especially in the last chapter where the time mechanics and the story finally meet.
What happens if you get caught?
Nothing permanent. Rewind the timeline and the capture is undone, with no penalty, no lives and no restart from the beginning of the level. Because time is fully under your control, you can also scrub back to any point to study a robot's patrol route or rework one step of a long plan without redoing the rest. It is a forgiving structure that keeps the challenge in the thinking rather than the retrying.
