NetEase Games announced a new first-person escape action game, Gui Ying Cang Feng, inspired by Chinese strange tales, and opened its Steam store page.

Gui Ying Cang Feng is a first-person escape action game where players explore abandoned villages, ruined temples, and old mansions in a Chinese-style land torn by the Shadow Disaster, which has blurred the boundary between the human world and the underworld. Stages last about 15 minutes and lack a shrinking area mechanic; players collect treasure, fight monsters and other players with knives and swords, and must find the escape route Sheng Men to return alive. The game supports solo play with up to 8 participants and team play with groups of 3, up to 12 participants. Players choose from multiple schools of spies with techniques and abilities drawn from Chinese folklore, including spells, stealth, and brute force. A PC test begins August 7, and the game will be free-to-play on PC and mobile, with no release date set yet.
