Guilongchao《归龙潮》Release Date Reveal Trailer — 13/09/24

(This is not PtN if you couldn't tell already)
Guilongchao translated literally means "return" + "dragon" + "tide".
This game used to be called "Project: Hitomi".

About:
Guilongchao is an Oriental-style side-scrolling ARPG mobile game developed and released by Tianren Lab. The story takes place in a new "Kowloon City", composed of nine districts. Here, tradition and modernity collide and blend together, creating a unique retro atmosphere that feels both bizarre and motley. But of course, in the corners where street light doesn't shine, bewilderingly changeable dark forces are surging. You will play the part of a "film director", forming your group of "staff", traversing the diverse scenery of the nine districts where order and chaos coexist. You will gather clues under the guise of "filming" to gradually uncover the hidden truth of this city.

You can pick the gender of the MC, and MC is a (film) director (so you will be referred to as "Director").
The playable cast is a mix of women and men, with the guy characters all being ikemen. You can see the characters + play a voiceline from them on the official website: https://glc.haowancheng.cn/#3

There is this lady who I think the design of is very pretty: https://i.imgur.com/RhnU0iv.jpeg

The funniest thing to me is the discrepancy between how M-Director and F-Director are dressed: https://i.imgur.com/AJtZT5H.jpeg I think they did update her outfit a bit later on to more of a crop-top look rather than the swimsuit thing after feedback though.
These two characters were posted on the official social media and I think are quite pretty: https://imgur.com/a/o96Zw90

For gameplay examples, you can see this video here:   / trailer_guilongchao_multiplayer_sidescroller   or you can simply search "Guilongchao" on YouTube for examples. The gameplay seems kind of unique.
Here are some dev notes about the game's inspirations I translated 2 years ago if you'd like some insight into their vision, but I'm not sure how much things have changed since then:   / translated_zhenlong_departments_secret_jou...

To my knowledge, there is no news about a Global release, only CN, but I have not been following the development of this game closely.
