Point and click with Cuddles Nutterbutter and Nine Noir Lives on Xbox
You can probably tell by the name of the protagonist, but Nine Noir Lives is far from a boring old point and click adventure. This one has got humour. It’s got cats. And it’s now on Xbox!
A new Xbox point and click adventure
Having previously launched on PC via Steam back in 2022 (you’re looking at Very Positive Steam reviews in that time), Nine Noir Lives now comes to Xbox. It releases on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S with a price of £14.99 attached.
Jump in, pay up and prepare for the adventure ahead, and you’ll be treated to some proper old school point and click comedy. It has you playing as Cuddles Nutterbutter, as you try and take in your private detective work through the capital city of cats – Meow Meow Furrington. The thing is, this place is controlled by a couple of crime families – the Montameeuws and the Catulets.
It’s here where you and Cuddles will need to come to the fore. Armed with big paws and a bit of a mouth, you’ll need to poke and lick your way through the mysteries ahead, attempting to get a handle on what is holding this city together. A tale of dark alleyways. A story of crime. Nine Noir lives should well excite.

Nine Noir Lives Description
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.
