Timelie is now available on iOS and Android.
Use your time-bending abilities to outsmart deadly robots.
Discover a quiet, minimalist indie tale featuring a cat.
If I had a nickel for every indie game centered on a frightened child slipping through a shadowy facility full of hostile enemies, I’d have at least two nickels. But where Inside leaned into side-scrolling stealth, Timelie takes a more timely approach to escaping a horde of hostile robots.
Timelie, now on mobile, delivers a plot as subtle as you’d expect from a niche indie puzzle game. You control a young girl and her feline companion, who awaken together in a mysterious underground lab overrun by killer robots. Naturally, your sole mission is to escape.
The robots patrolling the facility aren’t easily predictable, and cleverness alone won’t get you out. But you’re not defenseless—you can see the future consequences of your moves and rewind time to avoid capture.

As concepts go, Timelie is refreshingly simple—especially for fans of the indie scene. At its heart, it’s a clean, straightforward puzzle game with a clever twist, guiding you through a sleek, minimalist world with a quiet story.
Catherine certainly gave it a glowing review over on Ahead of the Game. If you’re curious, Timelie is live now on the iOS App Store and Google Play, complete with a free demo so you can test it before you buy.
And if Timelie doesn’t scratch your puzzle itch, there are plenty of other ways to challenge your mind on mobile. Why not explore our curated list of the best puzzle games on Android for more standout picks?
