It was released a few years ago. It's not Singularity and not Timeshift.

The title was short, two or three words, and I'm pretty sure it was some kind of physics technobabble.

The game follows the Portal formula where the player has to solve a sequence of self-contained cube-and-button challenges in a decaying facility, except it's on a space station. The player has a device that can reverse time and cause the cubes to retrace their paths through space. The act of solving the challenges somehow generates energy. There are friendly robots with faces drawn on sticky notes. We also see the Earth explode.

That's the one, thanks!

(edit) It's also sold at a 70% discount on GOG. https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_entropy_centre

Similar time-travel.

The Citadel game mod for luanti(previously called minetest) has time travelling puzzles around an old ruin.
