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 missing 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 team. The mystery revolves around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, where one person replaces another without detection.
Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively integrates FMV footage directly onto real-world environments captured through your phone's camera. This AR approach to investigation creates a strange yet inventive gameplay experience.
While the game's concept is intriguing, expectations for a deep psychological thriller should be managed. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV games, especially within the horror genre, might be part of its charm. Though a precise release date (beyond "this winter") remains unannounced, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is certainly worth keeping an eye on.
