Welcome to Kowloon is a short, intense, and grim horror experience that leverages tight spaces, urban decay, and psychological uncertainty to great effect. It doesn’t reinvent the walking sim, but it succeeds at what it sets out to do: make you uncomfortable, paranoid, and unsure of what’s real. If you’re a fan of games like Paratopic, Lost in Vivo, or The Closing Shift, this is well worth your hour.

This game gained a spot in my Favorites due to its level design. The game is set in Kowloon which is supposed to be a densely populated city, and you navigate through Mysterious backstreets and cramped alleyways, giving an immersive claustrophobia and isolation and a feeling of being watched constantly. I would love a version of the game where I can just freely walk around the place and play some lofi music.

Welcome to Kowloon is a short psychological and supernatural horror set in the bowels of Kowloon, where our protagonist has found an apartment to hide out in but didn't expect that in this suburb there would be horrors waiting to awaken him. It's a short game, but it delivers a tense caustrophobic premise with closed walls, camera movements and some cheap jumpscares.

This game is short and sweet, and forces you to explore it's depths. The jump scares are kinda cheap but the graphics are great and make for a very immersive experience. I have a buddy that used to sell dope in Kowloon in the 80s. He sold to what he calls "Hippies" and "The British". But the distinction was never clear in his stories. I showed him this game and when we finished this game he first laughed at me getting motion sickness, then he explained how it wasn't nearly as clean and quiet as this game depicts. At every corner in the game he'd say he saw a corner just like that in Kowloon and there'd either be the staging ground for a fight with a rival dealer, or what he'd call "Grandma running the whores away." He refused to elaborate on that statement. However he did say the game reminded him heavily of his experience of getting chased by cops around Kowloon after getting made and "disposing of possible evidence" by taking all of it. Anyway, would definitely recommend if you have an hour to kill on any given night.

These types of games are a fine line for me, I understand what I am getting into but even then they are sometimes just too budget for me and I don't feel they are worth me even attempting to play through. Thankfully this is not one of those games and for the cheap price you can get this game for I do think it is probably worth the hour or so it takes to finish. There is nothing here you haven't seen, its a budget horror walking simulator with cheap jump scares and a very basic setting much like so many of these low budget survival horror games. But it does well at creating a very intense and nerve wracking ambience you want from these games and even though I was very much expecting the cheap jump scares, yeah okay they still got me a couple of times. Nothing ground breaking here but you can go wrong for a few bucks. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3413471463
