For me it's cities—large, empty cities with little, if any, foot or vehicular traffic. Typically in the US or Australia and laid out accordingly, so not like Kowloon Walled City. But it's almost as if they're that way because my brain's "GPU" cannot render that many people or cars moving about. Sonetimes in these dreams I'm able to "teleport" to an interior location where there are people, and I'm fine.

Of course, it may be influenced by the fact that I spent ~15 years in the Boston area, and while New York is the city that never sleeps, Boston can get hauntingly empty late at night, or even on Sunday afternoon when most everything's closed...

For a great Kowloon-influenced atmospheric game, check out Stray.

Stray looks cool. Thanks. (I also suspect my daughters would like it.)
The cat is very cat. It's great. Just a warning that if said daughters happen to be very young and/or sensitive, there's a few painful and oppressive looking and feeling scenes in the game though it's mostly safe and fun.
Protip: The meow button works during cut scenes.
