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

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.

Simple, Lighthearted Fun Silvernode Studios is a two-man team, and 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 favorite 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. The fun comes first, and we aim to be funny before all else, with comedy inspired by the likes of Taika Waititi. We strive for humor that anyone can appreciate, and writing that won't force you to mute your speakers when playing in public. So snuggle up with your favorite floofball and discover Nine Noir Lives!
