''Paranormal HK'' is first person horror game developed by Hong Kong-based indie company Ghostpie Studios. As the title states, the game is based on the Urban Legends of Hong Kong's hidden, supernatural world, in which you're tasked with exploring.
As the cameraman of a journalist crew hosting a supernatural-themed online channel titled "Beyond the Invisible", after requests from your producers and promises of an expensive contract, your crew decide to begin filming their latest documentary in Kowloon Walled City after nightfall, in the ''middle'' of the Hungry Ghost Festival. Expectedly, spooky things start to happen almost immediately when you're filming Kathy, the crew's main star, and you're inevitably separated from your team. And then you discover the supposedly-abandoned, deserted world of Kowloon at night is filled with assorted paranormal activity.
----
!! Today is July 14th. The day the Gates of Hell opens up. You shouldn't have been here...
* AlwaysNight: The game is set at night in Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City, where you'll need to survive the assorted supernatuural going-ons.
* BlackoutBasement: Levels where you're crossing dark alleyways, with only a circle of light from a torchlight as illumination.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Visible on all the ghost enemies, but especially notable on the ghost-woman behind a door when the cutscene does a close-up.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: Subverted, your gender isn't made explicitly clear, but you can collect your ID lost card in the first stage. Turns out you're a dude name Chow Wei-Lok, and that your friends calls you Lok (not that it's relevant in-game).
* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler:You escape Kowloon Walled City in a talisman-covered automobile, fleeing from a haunted parking lot and made your way to an exit... only for the game to dump you into a WhiteVoidRoom where you meet the same, mysterious old lady who helped you retrieve Kathy in the first place. Then you pass out and awake in a studio filled with cameras, before inexplicably ending up in your apartment, except it's now filled with televisions and the only exit is blocked by yet ''another'' unnamed, spooky ghost girl. Who then leaves you as you start screaming at the top of your voice as the credits roll]]. MindScrew isn't even scratching the tip of the insanity iceberg...
* GhostlyDeathReveal: After your early separation with the channel's main star, Kathy, shortly afterwards you run into a spooky ghost girl wearing Kathy's blue dress, and having exactly the same hairstyle as hers. Though things are not what they seemed...
* GhostSong: You can come across an empty Opera stage which suddenly lights up when you enter, and on it is the soul of an ex-opera singer who begins singing a mournful, tearful Chinese melody. Approach the stage up close though and she dissappears.
* ImplacableMan: The animated spider-mannequin wil relentlessly chase you through the alleyways and into an abandoned opera house, and no attempts to stop her works.
* IntrepidReporter: You're part of a film crew who decides to go for the big scoop, despite rumours of supernatural occurences happening in Kowloon after dark, even infiltrating in forbidden alleyways and restricted areas walled off by the local council. And then things go wrong.
* JumpScare: Ghosts and spirits [[https://youtu.be/qh91xafe5BQ?t=477 tend to hide behind doors]] and suddenly reveal to you in this manner. The background even went from silent to a sudden, high-pitched musical note to startle you.
* KilledOffscreen: Most of your fellow crew-mates after you lose them in the opening cutscene, and you can only find their bloodied corpses in the aftermath.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: The ghosts of Kowloon tends to be rather... toothy. Especially evident on the first one when you open a door and is treated to a cutscene of you seeing her toothy, fang-loaded mug cracking a grin on you.
* MurderousMannequin: The sentient, eight-limbed mannequin demon called a "spider-mannequin" who haunts a department store will come after you the moment you disturb it. The spider-mannequin can kill you on contact and you spend a level hiding underneath tables in a dimly-lit room, trying to sneak your way out without getting caught.
* PaperTalisman: Taoist paper talismans, obtained in the first act, are necessary items to exorcise the spirits posessing Kathy to retrieve her. Near the end of the game after you made a second visit to Kowloon, you can obtain a second stash of charms - [[spoiler:in the climax, you escape Kowloon by pasting a number of those charms on a car's hood and driving your way out of a ghost-infested basement, where upon contact with the charms ghosts simply DisappearsIntoLight]].
* RunOrDie: You're absolutely unable to find any means of defending yourself from the supernatural forces, and will need to spend the whole game fleeing from danger until the sun rises. Expect this warning to pop up every now and then during the game.
--> Run! Don't get caught!
* SpookyPhotographs: While trying to find your way out of Kowloon Walled City, sometimes you can come across identification tags belonging to your fellow crew members... with their faces contorted. You'll just respond with a "nope" and put them back where you found them.
* StringyHairedGhostGirl: One of the ghosts you encountered is the stereotypical Asian ghost-girl, clad in a white dress with long hair that obscures most of her face.
* TimeSkip: There's one shortly after the first level, where you managed to retrieve Kathy and escape Kowloon. Cue a TitleCard narrating that Kathy eventually regains consciousness but forgot her experiences in Kowloon, and started behaving strangely after the incident. Nevertheless, you start a relationship with her only for you to lose contact with Kathy after 3 months, before a message from Kathy summons you ''back'' to Kowloon.
