The only way to succeed in Kowloon's Gate is by adopting the Chinese art of feng shui, by which students learn to manipulate the currents of power believed to govern the Earth, more specifically these are said to represent the ancient spirits of four sacred beasts, linked to the geographical features of north, south, east & west. The ultimate task of the game is to redress the balance of feng shui in the world, so that the Yang, the dark side, does not overcome the light.
