Kowloon's Gate is a 1997 Japanese adventure video game developed by Zeque. Set in the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong, it is considered a cult hit. Kowloon's Gate is a first person adventure game that puts the player in a futuristic fantasy world in which he will take the role of a young woman (a master feng shui) that will have to encounter different people, fight evil enmies, and solve some strange situations and puzzle to advance in the adventure and try to make that the world won't dissappear. Kowloon's Gate uses motion JPEG technology to render the strange CG enviroments you'll explore. Interact with unique characters, traverse the real-time 3D scenes freely, and solve imaginative puzzles in this Adventure game. The game takes place in the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong. On June 22, 1997, before the handover of Hong Kong, the demolished Kowloon Walled City reemerged from the realm of Yin (陰界) back to the streets of Hong Kong in the living realm of Yang (陽界). The Hong Kong Supreme Feng Shui Conference (香港最高風水会議) determined that the reappearance of the walled city was a sign of an imbalance of the Yin and Yang, and if the two parallel worlds are not separated once again, great calamity would occur. To set things straight, the order of Feng Shui would need to be re-instilled in the realm of Yin. Thus the protagonist, a Super Feng Shui Practitioner (超級風水師), was sent into the Kowloon Walled City to seek and awaken the Four Symbols so that order would be revived.
