Nine Noir Lives

Nine Noir Lives is a comedy-noir point-and-click adventure set in Meow Meow Furrington, a crime-ridden city of cats and home to the world’s biggest ball of yarn. You play as Cuddles Nutterbutter, a feline private investigator with “perfectly normal-sized paws,” who takes a last-minute case from the Chief of Police. With his assistant Tabby Marshmallow, Cuddles investigates a murder that threatens the balance between the city’s two most powerful crime families, the Montameeuws and the Catulets.

Investigate the city

You explore more than 80 hand-drawn screens across Meow Meow Furrington and interact with over 25 characters. To uncover the mystery, Cuddles can poke, lick and talk his way through the investigation, while puzzles test your wits. The puzzles range from fun to fiendish, but are never unfair.

Play as Cuddles and Tabby

You can switch between Cuddles and his capable assistant, Tabby Marshmallow, experiencing the city from two different perspectives. Licking objects reveals another dimension to the world and can prompt questions about what Cuddles expected them to taste like.

A comedy-noir story

The story draws on film noir while leaning toward comedy. It also addresses some serious topics seriously, without making the whole game relentlessly gritty. More than 100,000 words of fully voiced dialogue explore the world of Furth.
