Timelie is a short puzzle game that puts a lot of eggs in one basket: time travel, stealth and grid movement. These ideas together work very well and being able to turn back time in order to redo an error doesn't end up making the game frustrating.

Getting the secret ending requires a lot of out-of-the-box thinking and the (free) DLC offers more meat for the hardcore puzzlers; without it the game falls a bit on the easy side. At the same time, there is no real narrative and the game is linear, not having much of a reason to play Timelie again once the game and the hard levels are cleared.
