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 team. The mystery centers around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, where one person replaces another without detection.
Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively integrates FMV footage with AR investigation. Players use their phone's camera to explore 3D environments, with the FMV seamlessly superimposed onto the real-world view. While the concept is unusual, it's undeniably creative.
The game's quirky approach to cryptids and its overall execution are intriguing. While it may not be a deep psychological thriller, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV horror games might be precisely what makes it enjoyable. Although a precise release date (beyond "this winter") is unavailable, this title warrants attention.
