"Wait - did you say the Knitty Kitty Club? Where all the criminals hang out?"
"Not all of them, Tabby. I’m sure some hang out in...uh, dark alleyways, and large empty warehouses down at the docks, and such."


Welcome to Meow Meow Furrington, capital city of cats, home of the world's biggest ball of yarn...and hotbed of crime. You are Cuddles Nutterbutter, feline private investigator and owner of two perfectly normal-sized paws, the doctor said so.

After agreeing to take on a last-minute case for the Chief of Police, you and your plucky assistant find yourselves investigating a murder that risks upsetting the careful balance between the city's two most powerful crime families: the Montameeuws and the Catulets.

Cuddles will need to use every skill he's learned - as well as his definitely-not-smaller-than-average paws - to poke, lick and talk his way through to the heart of the mystery...before some very dangerous cats decide to take matters into their own paws. Which, to clarify, are absolutely regular-sized.

Key Features

  • Play through a charming comedy-noir storyline inspired by every cat ever, with fewer cat puns than you might expurrct.
  • Explore the unique and intriguing city of Meow Meow Furrington across over eighty attractive, hand-drawn screens.
  • Interact with over twenty-five hilarious characters.
  • Discover a whole new dimension to everything in the game by using your wits tongue. Lick first, and ask questions later. Questions like "what did you expect that to taste like, Cuddles?"
  • Experience the city from two very different perspectives as you switch between Cuddles and his capable assistant, Tabby Marshmallow.
  • Laugh and learn about the world of Furth with over one hundred thousand words of fully-voiced dialogue.
  • Solve puzzles both fun and fiendish - but never unfair.

Simple, Lighthearted Fun

Nine Noir Lives is our love-letter to point-and-click adventure games. We've been playing them for decades, and we love them - so we're making one. Combining our favourite elements of everything that came before, we hope to mix it up into something deeply entertaining.

While we've drawn on film noir for the story's inspiration, we're leaning much more towards the comedy side of "comedy-noir". Expect some serious topics, addressed seriously - but we don't want to burden the whole game down under the weight of unrelenting grittiness. We feel that there's enough of that in the world already.

Fun comes first, and we aim to be funny before all else, with comedy inspired by the likes of Taika Waititi. We strive for humour that anyone can appreciate, and writing that won't force you to mute your speakers when playing in public. So snuggle up with your favourite floofball and discover Nine Noir Lives!

Monkey Island meets Police Quest

If you like old school point and click this is in the same family as an old lucasarts game mixed with elements of an old Sierra one. Puzzles are definitely in the same vein as its ancestors. A little wacky and nonsensical like its forebearers. Only ran into one bug. My own gripe is the melodrama in the end. Way over the top. I'm fine with the former actor pontificating. I'm fine with the detective narrating like a noir film. But it went a little too far and preachy in the end. Tone it down a bit and it'd be fine. Veteran point & click gamer cleared game around 13ish hours (not consecutive, had to have a think occasionally away from the game). Otherwise it was a fun point and click diversion. For a 2 person team (not counting the voice actors), they did fantastic. Can't wait for the sequel that is hinted at. *SPOILER CONCERNING BUG!* If you have on a pickle costume and use a wrong items on a certain actor it will remove your costume and won't appear anywhere. To get it back just go outside. You'll put it back so that you can get it again.

Great looking point-and-click adventure

This has been one of the best point-and-click adventures I have played in a long time. To start with, it looks great. Everything is oh, so pretty! (Note to indie designers: hand-drawn graphics are not a selling point if they look ugly!) The main characters are very lovable, most of the others are at least memorable. The puzzles are mostly fair, even though people with a wacky sense of humour will have an advantage. I always play without sound, so can't say anything about the music or voice acting. The game probably has some replay value, as well, as I haven't licked everything I could yet... Highly recommended!

Tons of character-driven fun

This is a really enjoyable game. The characters are well developed and feel like your old friends. The voice acting is amazing. The humor was just right. The story is cliche but fun and heartwarming. The puzzles are sometimes frustrating and often do that terrible sin where you know exactly what you need to do but can't pick up the XYZ until you talk to a specific person and inspect another specific item multiple times.... but I was having so much fun playing the game that I forgive it. Can't wait for the next adventure from this team!

An Impressive Outing

For such a small dev team, I was surprised by how much content was packed into the game. A lot of memorable characters and heart that really conveys how much of a passion project for the devs. Also an impressive amount of voiced dialogue, which is a refreshing change from most of the non-voiced indie point and click games I've recently played. The puzzle difficulty was on the moderate side, nothing particularly complicated or requiring massive leaps in logic. The general plot is a little generic at times, but it's primarily a character driven story and the characters certainly shine here.

Fun game !

I loved the game. It has a good inspiring story, funny most of the time, good voice acting, and characters. The puzzles have been quite easy to solve (maybe even too easy), as well as straight forward navigating through the game. The dialogues could be shorter though. I am not so very fond of the graphics style though, but I can't say that they are not good, just not my cup of tea. The story made up for it though. I am really looking forward to its sequel. The length is about 7,5 hours max. Not sure why it is advertised as 12 hours because I don't know what else I could do to make it last 4,5 more hours ! I highly recommend the game, especially when on discount.
