HK: RPG is a free open-world game of Hong Kong that you play in your web browser, built by solo developer Jacky Kit. Its tagline is "Reality, Parody, Games": a roughly 1:1 real-world-distance Hong Kong, from the New Territories to Kowloon, Hong Kong Island and the outlying islands, full of trams, ferries, mahjong halls, races, delivery jobs and quests built from internet memes and urban legends. It's in English and Traditional Chinese.

This is an Indie Spotlight, not a review: we haven't played it. Here's what the developer has shown and told us.
