I'm not familiar with those, so this might be a bad suggestion, but the short description makes me think this may still fit, have you read The City & the City by China Miéville?

It's set in two overlapping cities, whose inhabitants diligently disregard the other city's until they formally cross the borders, and it's a crime to do otherwise. It's a pretty compelling read imo!

I haven’t but it sounds like I should. Thanks for the rec!

Kraken, also by Mièville, is also somewhat of a match; as well as Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

There was an okay-ish TV adaptation, it’s on Britbox or freevee with ads.

I stumbled across this the other week while trying to find the name of the book invisible cities and gave it a watch because the trailer reminded me of Disco Elysium.

Without knowing the original novel, I thought it was really compelling and entertaining, with my only major critique being the pacing of the final episode, but equally 4 episodes is such an easy commitment that I'd absolutely recommend the show if you aren't in the mood to pick up a book.
