7 Days Salvation - The interesting case of the Chinese survival horror game (PC/Dingoo/Symbian)

This is a game that is really interesting since there are not many like it coming out of China, specially with that sweet sweet 90's survival horror feel to it.

Well after laying under the radar for a decade and a half it seems people are finally giving it some love, first there is a fan translation project announced over at:

http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=32267.0 

and over at reddit somebody is supposedly doing a remake of it using the unreal engine: https://www.reddit.com/r/7DaysSalvation/

"7 Days Salvation was a symbian/dingoo survival horror game with Silent Hill vibes to it developed & published by Dingoo Games.They stopped the development of the English PC version somewhere in 2007. In early 2008 they abandoned Chinese PC version and stopped updating English version for mobiles."

"The full game was published in Chinese on the symbian market in 2009 which contains the whole game (7 days). The Dingoo a320 device was sold with an incomplete version of the game that has full 5 days in english. There's also a English demo version for symbian and PC that usually contains the first days."   

And thanks to the new N-gage/Symbian EKA2L1 emulator we can now also play the Symbian version.

If the source code is ever released it would have been a perfect game to port to Saturn/Psx/Ps2/Dc.
