Kowloon's Curse: Lost Report is a Free prequel to the team's upcoming Kowloon's Curse It's a low-poly dungeon crawler, full of surreal and creepy vibes. Apparently, it's based on Kowloon Walled City.
The game follows an unnamed protagonist who's doing shady jobs with his friend Sergio in the Lawless city of Kowloon. Their work is mainly about doing shady tasks for someone named the inspector. Two people struggling to survive, and supernatural things happen.
"Having woken up, all memory of the dream faded. Only a vague feeling remains in its place now."
The game plays a typical dungeon crawler with infrequent Turn-based combat. Most of the time, we explore areas and talk to people. The city's vibes are so weird that I don't know if most of the characters we meet are human.
One thing for sure, nothing is the way it looks like in the game. In that regard, Kowloon's Curse's low-poly graphics work in its favor!
This is my playthrough of the game:

The game starts with the main character's dream. Upon waking up and leaving the house, he gets a call from The Inspector, ordering him to work with Sergio and retrieve an important item.
Sergio is the main character's childhood friend, as the flashbacks in the game show. He's a crude guy with a short temper. He makes his music, (which sounds bad and is hated by everyone else in-universe,) and doesn't want to stay in this depressing city.
Oh, and the city IS depressing!
Everyone is sad, and probably a drug addict. Most NPCs talk about a drug called Smocaine. A drug that apparently the player and Sergio indulge in as well.
Anyway, after going through a labyrinth that looks like ancient egyption ruins, despite being inside a Disco. We kill the guy we're supposed to steal from, and we're supposed to report to The Inspector!
Thanks for Watching!
