I came across a video on Youtube discussing it (there are several), and Kowloon Walled City is just endlessly fascinating. A few notable videos I found on the subject were:

The Densest City on Earth

Kowloon Walled City: Hong Kong’s City of Darkness

Inside Hong Kong’s Kowloon Walled City

There is also a book on the city called City Of Darkness Life In Kowloon Walled City, which I found on archive.org in high resolution. It is full of photographs and detailed accounts of the comings and goings within the enclave.

    In a Digimon game on the switch there’s a level called Kowloon. It is represented as what is described here and I’m grateful to have learned the real world connection

      You talking about Cyber Sleuth? It’s available on PC, PS4, Vita (which I think is where it first launched), along with the switch you mentioned.

      Please be aware that plenty of games on the switch are actually multiplatform. We don’t want people not checking out a game because they think it’s only on the switch.

        We don’t want people not checking out a game because they think it’s only on the switch.

        We? Is there some secret Game Reccomendation Governing Body in charge of how to recommend something properly?

        If someone wants to play a game, it’s on them to research the game and how they can play it on their own consoles. It’s unfair to put the responsibility on the recommender for knowing every single possible platform a game could be played on.

        I appreciate that you commented and provided extra information for other potential players. But IMO, your tone implies that OP provided this recommendation incorrectly, which I don’t think is justified.
