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 central mystery revolves around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, where one individual replaces another without detection.

Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively integrates FMV footage directly onto real-world environments captured through the player's phone camera. This AR approach allows for investigation within 3D spaces enhanced by the FMV sequences. While unconventional, this fusion of technologies creates a visually distinct and creative gaming experience.

While the game's concept is intriguing, expectations for a complex psychological thriller might be unrealistic. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV games, particularly in the horror genre, could be a significant part of its charm. Although a precise release date (beyond "this winter") is unavailable, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is certainly a title worth keeping an eye on.
