Combining elements of traditional point-and-click adventure games, with an all-new take on teamwork, 9 Lives ‘Til Midnight is an adventure game based around self corporation. The player controls cat detective, Sonny Ray, and his team of nine lives in a fully 3D-environment heavily inspired by film noir. In the search for his missing girlfriend, Muffin, Sonny finds himself deep in the criminal underbelly of Cat City, and face to face with the Feline Mafia!

By using the ability to re-live moments in the past, Sonny Ray can make the most of any situation. Sonny can control himself during multiple moments in time, cooperating with himself. This means that where one cool cat might not have been enough, you are that team. Sonny’s 9 Lives ability also allows him to alter the past, and to change the future.
