Ninelives is an MMORPG that was never completed, but it saw enough of a single player version for me to become obsessed with the game. I realised that I was searching for this kind of art direction and experience for years, only stumbling across this abandoned game world by chance a few months ago. Join me as I discuss the game and my journey with it!
