just a note about the beginning: kowloon walled city was a real place, and at the time, despite being an exclave in hong kong, was technically part of china and was SUPPOSED to be governed by china, but it was so densely populated that any effort to do so became almost impossible considering it was essentially a 6 acre large apartment complex, and without hong kong having the jurisdiction to do anything about what the residents were doing, they basically governed themselves. the entire "city" was destroyed in 1995 when hong kong was ceded back to china as part of the 99 year lease britain had on hong kong, it was taken down due to fire hazards, height restrictions due to the nearby airport, overcrowding, supposed gang affiliations, ect. so technically saying china instead of hong kong at the beginning still wouldve been correct, but nevertheless i just wanted to share this as a fun fact cuz the entire thing is very interesting to look into.

i think the scariest part of this whole game is knowing that Kowloon was a real city that was over 6 acres of buildings piled on top of each other... such a cool setting

I want to see a compilation of Sean closing doors in horror games and feeling safe.

This made me get up and make tea. Also side note, theres some super interesting docs about Kowloon on youtube. A legal loophole between Britain, China and Hong Kong basically let a micro-city grow completely free of any government oversight. There was crime and sanitation issues, but there was also thriving community of people raising families, living and working together. Theres a reason so many cyberpunk/futurepunk movies and comics used kowloon as an inspiration.

Theory: I think the ghosts were trying to help you escape. They kept getting the player to move down specific paths by blocking exits and leaving little hints and clues. They died there and I think they wanted to make sure that the city didn't claim another victim.

Demons menacingly lurking in the hallways = scared Jack Demons menacingly lurking in the refrigerator = calm Jack

I can’t believe he went the whole section on making tea without mentioning Top of the Mornin’ Coffee once.😂

I wish there was a game where you could travel around a random city map and snuggle/feed/love all the random little creatures and animals you encounter. No enemies, no spooks, just love, affection, and snuggly pet vibes

As an electrician, you would become a stiff corpse, standing there while your blood boils and evaporates and your body fries from the inside out. So yea go for it

Notably, Kowloon was the most crowded place on Earth while it existed, so it’s especially uncanny for it to be empty. This protagonist really should have left once he entered an empty room.

Just once i wish evelyn would burst through the door and scare jack during a scary game like this 😂

I love how Sean is completely unfazed when the player mentions his apartment being on the 4th floor. But if you know the significance of that number, alarm bells would already be ringing

The ad break RIGHT as the big man jumpscared jack was peak comedy for me

29:00 the game making it seem like it reset you to then jumpscare you after building a fake sense of temporary security is amazing.

Ding ding ding- list time! Ding ding ding! (this is supposed to be a (detailed) list with all the scares throughout the video. If I missed anything, please let me know. Thank you!) 6:43 - person lurks around corner 8:39 - music cuts out 9:10 - loud sound 13:37 - ominous noises 15:01 - landlady standing in door 16:04 - body parts 16:47 - landlady appears 17:17 - hanging body 17:47 - JUMPSCARE landlady screaming (that one got me good ngl) 19:28 - someone bangs on the door 19:52 - door suddenly shuts 20:13 - loud crash sound 21:06 - landlady lurking around corner 23:40 - JUMPSCARE eyeballs 26:27 - loud breathing 28:28 - chasing sequence 28:59 - JUMPSCARE dead body (did not expect that one at all) 30:06 - person lurking around the corner 30:14 - JUMPSCARE person jumps out of door 32:43 - person lurking around corner ( a lot of lurking in this game) 35:32 - crawling person 37:23 - person at the end of hallway 39:19 - ominous noises and wailing starts 40:30 - JUMPSCARE huge man 42:48 - a bunch of dead (and half dead) bodies in various poses 43:10 - body hits the ground 45:05 - JUMPSCARE landlady returns for one final scare This one was so good. Loved the visuals and the overall feeling (so spooky!). Again, if I missed anything let me know and I'll update the list! Thank you!

The visuals are stunning. I could practically feel the slighly sticky floor, smell the stuffy air and hear the rust creaking. Disgusting. I love it.

Jack just worrying about the dog is probably the most wholesome thing I’ve seen all day

"She hasn't just gone crazy she's gone full fucking sicko mode!" Fucking killed me

What really makes this game scary is that at the start we are told the year is 1999 when a young student needed cheap housing. Then at the end of the game once we are home safe we see the news about how the walled city was demolished in 1994, which was five years BEFORE we the player were poking around. This all ads to the supernatural aspect of this will done game.

Jack just singing ‘Don’t stop me now’ is an entire mood and I love it.

Man, but can we talk about how pretty this game is? Their last games have looked pretty great for indie games already but this one is really impressive to look at. Imagine if they had a huge team and a budget to really go all out with a longer game, it could be something really special. I hope they keep making stuff and improving!

"I wanna go home... And the worst part is, I AM home." that hit way too hard, man

Jack saying "She hasn't just gone crazy, she's gone full on Sicko Mode" had me dying of laughter

17:45 I haven’t been jump scared like this in a long time my heart jumped out my throat this game is amazing

I absolutely love the flashlight mechanics in their games, the ability to direct the flashlight across the screen without turning adds such an intense level of fear. 10/10 game design.

Normally, I don't get scared that much. Mostly anxious by suspense. However, that jumpscare where the lady just straight up ZOOMS toward you scared me so bad I felt my heart drop to my ass

Jack just breaking out into Queen literally had me on the floor😂😂 doesn’t help that I just had a glass of wine!!

Craziest thing is that Kowloon was a real place and the photos of it look exactly like this game. Perfect place for a horror game. The pictures are extremely creepy.

As a depressed very anxious grown ass adult person, i'll admit that Sean coming back and dropping all these horror gaming vids is making me so happy I finally went outside on my own again.

Big Jumpscare Master List! 17:47 - Landlady Rushing Toward Camera 23:41 - Eyeballs on a Picture Frame 28:59 - Zoom In On Corpse + Lighting Change 30:14 - Figure Rushing Toward Camera 40:30 - Figure Rushing Toward Camera 45:05 - Lady Standing in TV Room

The fact that I was watching Sean play this and wasn't directly playing it, yet it was STILL somehow one of the most frightening games I've ever watched, just goes to show how excellent of a job they did. Watching at 3am with headphones and alone at home was not a good idea, when that knock happened at 32:47 I'm not exaggerating when I say my soul left my body. Well done developers!

Not Jack not realizing that this Bathroom in 11:30 is a literal Replica of the Bathroom in Parasite: The Toilet, the Stairs, the red Bucket with the wooden Plank and on top the white Bowl. You can literally Google the Image and see the similarity.

7:47 was the most cathartic experience I've had watching a video in ages, I've been waiting so long for a streamer to pick up the dog food

The real demons of the game: The creators who won’t let Jack pet the doggy😂

Hi, huge love from HK!❤ always love watching Sean's videos, especially excited to see such a good horror game based on the history of Kowloon Walled City! As someone who was born, grew up and currently living in hk, seeing an authentic and detailed representation of our tiny city and its history is such a gem 💫ngl even rn in the present Kowloon (in fact all across hk) still have buildings like this, with tones of people living in there. If you were to travel to hk and choose to stay in some cheaper options, you could actually stay in buildings like this (not with the bleeding the limbs tho). And they are mostly much cleaner. Just wanna shout out to the game developers for the huge attention to details, and getting them right - the flats' gates, plastic bags hanging near bed, graffiti, electricity meter, etc. are so on point! Just a side-note: if you were to travel to hk, we do have a park called Kowloon Walled City Park 九龍寨城公園, located in the original location of Kowloon Walled City, keeping fractions and some stuff from this part of history.

I love how jacks first wish was really to just feed the dog

The fact you can’t close and lock your own door in this complex is beyond terrifying all by itself😱😱😱

Sometimes I just have to wonder how video game protagonists have survived to the current point of their lives. Cause they obviously have no survival instincts.

"If I cut one of these will I get electrecuted" Knowing that Jack is smarter than the average person this statement scares me how little people know about something they use everyday that could kill them if mishandled. For those intreseted you could cut the nutral wire (usually blue or black based off you region) without getting electractued and this will cause the power of any place to be shut off, if you cut the live wire you die.

Not sure what's keeping me more on edge. The horrors of the unknown around every corner, or when the editor puts in "Fashing Lights Warning". Great game.

N4ba is such a talented developer. Always manages to capture those claustrophobic environments that make you think you might die if you even breathe let alone move.

Little does Jack know that this dystopian hellscape once existed.

I normally don’t get that scared while watching someone else play a horror games, but my god these were some of the scariest jump scares I’ve ever experienced. (Connanical jumpscares/deaths is a thing I’ve only seen in like Amnesia games, it’s fire)

The worst bit is that safety is behind NONE of those doors

Seeing Jack care so much about a fictional dog is just too precious. Have us pet the dog DANG IT!

“she’s not just gone crazy, she’s gone full fucking sicko mode!” is my new favorite quote lmao

2:42 istg I heard Jack saying "I feel like i'm in Adare" and I just thought dude must've had one hell of a terrifying experience in Adare to be scared of that lovely village

8:41 I swear that is a black shadow thingy with eyeballs! Wanted to add: the end game sequence walking through the street of stripped people really gave me the idea that the city's population were hit with white phosphorus.

Horror games just become so much scarier to me when they're based on real places

“Be in the dark, with headphones on, under a blanket and I promise you the coolest of you will get scared” THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IM DOING AND IM TERRIFIED 💀

Ha! I’m from Hong Kong, and I literally grew up in a building exactly like this back in the 90s. A super uncanny depiction of the poorer part of the city.

10:56 me: wow for cheap housing this is a nice place! jack: this place sucks!

Jack is so good at singing, even when he's freaking out

I'm always happy when Kowloon gets featured in video games/movies! I did a report on Kowloon when I was in Asian studies in college. Interesting to note is that there were actually families in the "city" trying to live and raise their children despite the crime and gang activity. It wasn't all just demons lurking around corners.

Jack feeling bad for a dog in a video game is so wholesome ❤

9:33 "Eff Baldur's Gate" ...Baldur's Gate 3 has a dog too, just so you know. His name is Scratch; you can pet, play fetch, and even talk to him if you have the Speak with Animals spell (does that change your opinion?) 🐶🏐

It's something about watching people genuinely scared of the games they play, play them lol. I'm here for it.

Just a little trivia why you see lots of asian things display a toilet on high places in their housing, it's because some civilization areas in asia (especially low economics) are below water level (like lower than the sewer level) so they need to put the toilet higher to prevent water coming out of it because it's frequently flooded.

I genuinely love hearing Sean talk about tea, as a tea lover myself. Black tea all the time with milk, its a nice little similarity to celebrate as I get horrified for the next 30 minutes. Also I love these games, these for some reason more than most, makes me want to learn how to make a game so badly. they are so strategic and effective at building an atmosphere and scares.

i’ve seen multiple playthroughs of this now & its so funny to see how everyones demeanor changes after the first big jumpscare. i love seeing everyone scared like this again 😂

Silly Sean, if you pull the blankets over your head, all the closet monsters know that’s home safe and they’ve lost the round.

Any scary games easily frightens BUT if there's a dog in one of the game and the dog gets killed, all that fear turns into literal anger, I'm not kidding. I love dogs the most so I would riot even if I might die.

Very well done! The game looks stunning!! I love the lighting! Great play trough Sean!!

I love this game for introducing me to what Kowloon was (I looked up a documentary on the city before watching playthroughs). Learning about cool and unique cities like Kowloon is fun! ^^

I think the worst part of this is that a lot of horror games give you safe spots, whereas this studio is really good at delivering "YOURE NOT SAFE ANYWHERE" vibes the whole time lol

"I hope the dog is okay" - Jacksepticeye as he tries to escape from a homicidal crazy witch lady.... I want Seán on my team during the apocalypse.

I must say this is one of the best Horror games I've ever seen i finally got the scares again because most of the video games / movies are so predicable they don't even scare me but the first jumpscare was so unexpected and especialy the one with the painting I really love your content keep up the good work you provide us with

this was a really good game, haven't jumped with the streamer for a jump scare in awhile. This was really spooky

N4ba is unstoppable with his twisted take on the horror game genre. He really hits heavy on your most vulnerable emotions and its never a disappointment for me!! As always a job well done!

ive never seen a game or movie made after kowloon and im happy one was finally made. the history of kowloon has always fascinated me. the game started off saying the year was 1999, which was puzzling, cas it got demolished around 1994. so the game was even spookier, I loved it! i hope more media covers this topic!

Damn the scares in this one are CRAZY!! The even crazier news is that Kowloon is a REAL city with residents living under those circumstances. Thanks for playing this Jack! Hope more people will know about this game too!

When a jumpscare happens it is in a way a relief of stress and build up. So it upsets me to see that such a popular Horror Game dev still makes cheap jumpscares normal in their games.

From the Darkness and 9th Child’s street are the most scary games you’ve played imo, I had no idea they were by the same person. Straight up gave me nightmares. The atmosphere this person puts into these games and their ability to create unique jump scares is absolutely insane.

Little does Sean know that we have something in common *we are both clinically insane*

I only recently learned about the Kowloon Walled City and the documentary I watched out it made me crave seeing more of it in media. This really hit the spot. There's a manga about the place where someone falls in love with a person they met at a restaurant there and then spends ages trying to figure out where it was to get back there and hopefully meet them again!

I feel like this game has a really deep meaning other then all of the horrifying jumpscares it especially at the end with all the people basically asking for help but not getting it

The fact I'm all alone in Ireland right now actually tucked under a blanket in complete darkness watching this just makes it such a surreal experience. I genuinely can't move. The game's awesome and Sean's video is too.

one of the scariest games in a long time. I often didn't dare to even look at the screen because the atmosphere was so tense. Thanks for playing it, although i only saw a fraction of what was happening, it was fun regardless.

Jack says watch it in the dark with headphones and under a blanket not me at 2:30 am doing that

Good scares! the desgustingly large man genuinely had me in a flight/freeze response.

This dev is really good at making horror games and what's brilliant is they don't even need to jumpscare you they just need to test your fear with the atmosphere.

I absolutely hate getting scared but horror games are my favorite to watch people play because I can experience a good game without directly being scared so thank you Jack haha

Ahh I've heard of Kowloon before! When I was younger, I read a book that had a premise based off the city. The book was called "The Walled City," and it was written by Ryan Graudin. I don't know if it holds up today (I read it in middle school), but I remember being captivated by the story.

19:37 That's what I liked about Condemned. Felt like you could pick up just about anything and smack all the crazies lol

I know this is just a little thing, but thanks to the editors for changing China to Hong Kong, no matter the political situation, I appreciate the clarification on it. Love from HK❤

I'm sick while watching this but 17:46 got me so bad both of my nostrils cleared up and now I can breathe normally

Amazing atmosphere, graphics, plot and scares. I loved it when Jack said knock knock and then there was a loud bang.

I love how in an n4ba game the flashlight is supposed to be the one thing to give you a sense of security and it actually gets worse lmao

having recently seen a documentary about Kowloon "the walled city" really helped make this setting all the more interesting

Bro I am baked af and watching Jack play horrorgames whilst eating icecream. What a life

“If something happens to this dog, I’m alt F4ing this game” ngl I’ve said the same thing about the cat in the chilla’s art game where you move boxes (forget the name)

Tbh I love your humour, as immature as it is! I love it! I’m going through a really toxic situation with my roommate and your jokes make me laugh when I can’t stop crying. Thank you so much❤

I love when Sean gets TRULY scared he cups his hands around his face. Lmaoooo

Could you imagine this game in VR? Having these scary videos being at least over 30 mins has been neat. I hope he plays more soon, this one got me quite a few times, but I liked that the jump scares were there, but not overly done.

I really love the settings of the map in 九龍，it was a fantastic horror experience! The dev did great!!

fr the best thing to put on while drawing, it’s so comforting

The fact a demon is chasing jack 24/7 but jack only cares about the dog. I love your horror vids keep on posting more ! ! !

“The Grease, the grime, the creeky, cracky, nature of it all.” -jacksepticeye 2023

This was one of those times I wasnt very scared by the atmosphere but Sean's reactions started getting me scared!!! Lol

Sean: Large men? DISGUSTING Also Sean: Large women? Perfection❤
