How it feels

A nostalgic top-down adventure that feels like a challenging old-school Zelda with a playful, self-aware twist.

What players say

Players say Timothy uses Zelda-like visuals but plays very differently: you have no weapons, only throw objects, and one hit kills you. Most recommend avoiding enemies rather than fighting. The game is short and can be brutally difficult, especially in spike mazes. Some players warn it is more obtuse than expected.
