9 Lives: Casey and Sphynx follows the story of Casey, a bumbling museum security guard, and Sphynx, a sassy temple cat guardian. Casey inadvertently falls under the curse of the ancient Egyptian cat goddess Bastet after he breaks a golden museum idol which Sphynx was tasked to protect. Sphynx loses her nine feline lives to Casey, which he uses to progress through hazardous traps and obstacles with Sphynx helping him along the way. The duo must work together to solve mysterious puzzles, find the broken idol pieces throughout the museum, and restore the relic of Bastet before their nine lives run out and Casey is turned into a cat forever.
