What does the future hold? See for yourself in the clever puzzler Timelie. You’re a young girl who can manipulate time as though it were a video feed—fast-forwarding to see the future play out or rewinding to correct mistakes and rebuild broken objects. Use your talents to sneak through surreal high-tech facilities, avoid patrolling robots, and figure out why giant chess pieces are falling from the sky.

What we love: Your brave cat companion. This feline friend can squeeze into tight spaces to trigger pressure plates that unlock doors or meow to lure robots away from your hiding spot. Switch between the girl and the cat to execute daring plans, escaping by a whisker with robots hot on your tail. (Got caught? Just rewind and try again!)

Quick tip: As long as you avoid a robot’s blue cone of vision, it won’t detect you—even if you’re standing right beside it.

Meet the creator: The small team at Bangkok-based Urnique Studio built Timelie on a shoestring budget as a university graduation project. They even filmed themselves acting out scenes for the 3D animator to work from.
