Today’s Spotlight is Timelie, a stealth puzzle game by Urnique Studio and Milk Bottle Studio.
Timelie follows a young girl and a cat that are stuck in a surreal, abstract world. You control both characters simultaneously, and must use their complementary abilities to solve puzzles and escape detection.
One of Timelie‘s main gameplay gimmicks is time manipulation. You can rewind time by a few seconds to erase your mistakes, or fast forward time to gain a peek at the future to plan your next move.
You can find the game’s launch trailer below.
Timelie is available on Windows PC, and Mac (both via Steam) for $18.99.
