A Note On... Cats and Times
Timelie is a time-manipulating puzzle game by Urnique Studio!
So the main character's eyes in this game a little bit wonky. That's about as bad a thing I've got to say about this game, other than a few level hiccups I had.
Timelie's main feature is the main character's foresight ability. Which is a damn cool concept. You solve puzzle by activating switches, having other things activate switches, and rebuilding bridges to get to the goal.
Did I mention there's a cat? And did I mention it sits on top of your head in the level hub?
What I love about the main mechanic (foresight) is that time sensitive puzzles are way less frustrating! I really, really don't like puzzles that are time sensitive. For whatever reason, they just don't jive with me. Maybe it's because they simply require a higher level of execution, while being a relatively simple solution. Anyways, Timelie makes takes those puzzles out of real time so they're not time sensitive, but still require timing! Which is amazing (for me in particular).
The story is kind of coherent? It's hard to say what really happens throughout the course of the game. It feels likes you're trying to escape some oppressive facility that doubles as an office building, collecting items as you go. When you think too hard, it's a little bare bones.
But the feeling is there. Getting chased by the obviously faster robot enemies is not fun. Finding the moments when you can eke out a solution is satisfying. And the overall narrative up nicely in the finale.
Timelie is a very solid puzzle experience for everyone that I think is worth trying.
As always,
Enjoy Gaming!

No Last Eternity
Urnique Studio has released a new trailer and screenshots for upcoming time manipulation puzzle game Timelie.
Here is an overview of the game, via Urnique Studio and its Steam page:
About
A mysterious girl able to envision the past and the future, trapped in a world where time flows and ebbs in strange and unpredictable ways. A cat, seemingly connected to the world, becomes her sole ally. Their connection spans time and space, and only through teamwork can they unravel the secrets behind where they are… and why.
Manipulate the unique Timeline ability to jump both backwards and forwards in time in order to unravel the mysteries of this surreal world. Solve puzzles and avoid enemies by planning your actions in parallel between the girl and the cat by looking into the future and glimpsing if your current course of action will result in disaster. Made a mistake? Just rewind time and try again.
Only through teamwork can the girl and the cat find a way to escape. But, they have time.

And this latest edition was a tricky one to pull off, because one, a large majority of developers being quite busy with Gamescom meant that there seemed to be slightly less offerings this time, and two, not only are we covering games and announcements from both Gamescom this weekend and PAX West the next weekend, but we also have to deal with the recent onslaught of games being released right now.
