Lies and deception won't work on me. The 3rd entry in the Senrou series, set in an imaginary Kowloon Walled City.
About
A massive labyrinthine city belonging to no nation and ruled by no one—Senrou.
Buildings added to time and again hide the sky, while countless alleys, stairs, and bridges intertwine in complex ways. Even at midday, the city remains dim, and rain-slicked neon signs flicker quietly. It is like an endless maze.
On the main streets, people go about their daily lives, but step into a back alley and you enter the realm of the underworld. In this city beyond the reach of the police, numerous organizations maintain a balance over territories, establishing order through their own codes.
Strength alone isn't enough to survive here. Trust, betrayal, and resolve are also weapons for living in this city.
Senrou, where danger and vitality, decadence and beauty coexist. The fate you encounter in this city will greatly change your future.
Worldview: A fictional city styled after Kowloon Walled City, "Senrou." Guest: Gender, occupation, etc., are free. Examples: Ordinary citizen, member of Kinkokaku, member of another organization, police officer, a lost tourist, etc.

Sourcebook
Intro
The rain in Senrou doesn't so much fall as it seeps.
Because the buildings block the sky, raindrops trickle from roof to roof, eave to eave, losing all sense of direction by the time they hit the ground. That's why people in this city don't use umbrellas. An umbrella is useless against something that doesn't necessarily come from above.
The alley was a place you couldn't even remember turning into.
The neon lights are distant, only their colors reaching this far. The walls are covered in pipes, and someone's laundry hangs overhead, dripping wet. The water at your feet has pooled as if it forgot how to flow, making a dull sound with every movement.
Behind you, three sets of footsteps.
