Timelie is now available on iOS and Android.
Use your time-bending abilities to outsmart deadly robots.
Discover a quiet, minimalist indie tale centered around a girl and her cat.

If I had a nickel for every indie game where a frightened child sneaks through a shadowy facility full of hostile machines, I’d have at least two nickels. But while Inside leaned into side-scrolling stealth, Timelie flips the script with a more temporal twist on escaping a horde of rogue robots.

Timelie, now on mobile, carries the hazy narrative you’d expect from a puzzle-focused indie title. You control a young girl and her feline companion as they awaken together in a hidden underground lab populated by lethal robots. Your sole goal? Get out alive.

The robots patrolling the facility aren’t easily predicted, and brains alone won’t cut it. But you’re not defenseless—you can glimpse the future consequences of your moves and rewind time to dodge robot detection.

At its heart, Timelie is a simple idea—especially if you’re familiar with indie darlings. It’s a clean, straightforward puzzle game with a clever twist, guiding you through a visually serene world and a sparse, atmospheric story.

Catherine gave it a glowing review on Ahead of the Game. If you’re curious, Timelie is live now on the iOS App Store and Google Play, with a free demo to test before you commit.

And if Timelie doesn’t stretch your mind enough, there are plenty of other ways to challenge your brain on mobile. Take a look at our curated list of the best puzzle games on Android for more standout picks.
