Overview
Nine Lives Deep plunges players into a charming yet challenging 2D top-down action roguelike experience, where you embody a cat exploring a mysterious nocturnal world. Developed and published by Minigoat Games, this title offers a fresh adventure with every playthrough, featuring procedurally generated layouts across diverse environments like alleys, sewers, caves, and city streets.

- Engaging Combat System: Dive into fluid, real-time combat utilizing three distinct weapon families – claws, yarn, and fish-bone throws. Combat evolves mid-run as you discover new gear and unlock combo finishers.
- Deep Build Customization: Beyond combat, players can stack passive upgrades to create truly unique character builds, tailoring their feline adventurer to their preferred playstyle.
