Nine Noir Lives

Nine Noir Lives is a charming detective adventure that proves traditional point-and-click games still have plenty of room for creativity. Developed and published by Silvernode Games, the title blends classic noir inspirations with a whimsical world populated entirely by cats, creating a mystery that feels familiar while standing apart through its distinctive humor. Instead of relying on dark, gritty storytelling, the game embraces lighthearted comedy without diminishing the intrigue at the center of its investigation. This balance between mystery and humor gives the adventure a personality that remains consistently entertaining from beginning to end. The story unfolds in the lively city of Meow Meow Furrington, where organized crime, corruption, and hidden conspiracies lurk beneath an outwardly cheerful atmosphere. Players follow private investigator Cuddles Nutterbutter, an eccentric detective whose insecurities and awkward confidence provide a constant source of comedy. Joined by his dependable partner Tabby Marshmallow, he begins what appears to be an ordinary assignment only to become entangled in a far more dangerous web of murder, criminal rivalries, and unexpected secrets. …

Tongues appear. Things get licked. This is the way of the world, Rrramon.

Poor Ramon....though at least he got the last word in...sort of. Thoroughly enjoyed this fun (but with a serious message at times about drugs), point & click game. Great story that was well thought out with an enjoyable ending and plenty of game time. Took me 10hours to finish; good value for money. The characters were all entertaining in one way or another, with the main character (Cuddles) being a fantastic blend of eccentric, enthusiastic and caring. The "lick" action was a bit weird at first but it was funny to use it at times to see what he would say. One note: there is a LOT of dialogue. Especially at the last scene. It didn't detract from the game play or enjoyment of solving puzzles (which were challenging enough but never too difficult to work out). Hope there's a sequel from the developers as overall it was a brilliant game! 9/10 (one point off for so much dialogue).

A classic point-and-click, hardcore enough to make beating it without a guide a challenge. On the downside: do they ever stop talking? There are so many dialogues that your finger gets tired from clicking through them. Also, the game contains kitticide, which is unacceptable and immoral

This was quite fun, had great voice acting and decent inventory puzzles like a good P&C should be. Definitely worth a play though if you like P&C games and aren't interested in the endless modern titles that are just NPC dialog trees with no real puzzles to speak of.

You can lick everything. Sometimes even twice! Actual review though: The game is pretty good, though dialogue is often very long-winded and the controls are more annoying than I would like.
