Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double mixes live-action with virtual worlds, coming soon

Playism's upcoming release, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double, offers a unique blend of FMV and augmented reality gameplay. Players step into the shoes of an outsider investigating the disappearance of a YouTuber specializing in urban legends.

The game features a cast of characters – Rain, Shou, and Tangtang – who claim to be part of the missing YouTuber's crew. The mystery revolves around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, where one person replaces another without detection.

Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively combines FMV sequences with AR investigation. Using your phone's camera, you explore 3D environments overlaid with the FMV footage. This unusual approach, while quirky, demonstrates a creative use of technology.

While the game's concept and execution are intriguing, expectations should be managed. It's unlikely to be a sophisticated psychological thriller. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV games, particularly in the horror genre, might be part of its charm. Although a precise release date (beyond "this winter") is still pending, it's definitely a title worth keeping an eye on.
