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 investigator probing the disappearance of a missing YouTuber who specializes 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 overlays FMV footage onto real-world environments captured through your phone's camera. This AR approach allows for interactive investigation within 3D spaces. While the FMV aesthetic might be considered dated by some, the game's unique execution makes for a creative, if somewhat unconventional, experience.
While not a serious psychological thriller, the game embraces its inherent cheesiness, a characteristic often associated with FMV horror. Though the precise release date remains undisclosed (anticipated this winter), Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is certainly worth keeping an eye on for fans of quirky horror games.
