A turn-based tactical RPG set in post-apocalyptic Guangzhou — specifically Haizhu District. Built in Unreal Engine. There is nothing like this in the genre — Cantonese-centric in setting, culture, and story. The closest comparison is Sleeping Dogs, and that’s a completely different genre set in Hong Kong.
Think Dragon Age but turn-based on a grid. Think Fallout but Guangzhou. Combat is deep, tabletop-inspired tactical systems. Dialog runs on a wheel with a voiced protagonist — choices log into a color-coded scroll history (diplomatic, aggressive, sarcastic) in a style similar to Disco Elysium’s text flow.
Voices are currently AI-generated in English — Cantonese VO is a goal, not a reality yet.

What exists: functioning combat, dialog system, quest framework, complete story, original lore set in southern China.
What’s needed most: a project manager / coordinator — someone to handle team organization and communication. No technical background required, just someone who’s efficient and organized. Also looking for environment artists to bring the world to life.
This is genuinely one-of-a-kind. If you want to build something nobody else is making — or can make — this is it.
