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 centers around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, where one person replaces another undetected.
Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively overlays FMV footage onto real-world environments captured through your phone's camera. This AR approach allows for an unusual but creative investigative experience.
While the game's concept is intriguing, expectations for a sophisticated psychological thriller might be unrealistic. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV horror could be a significant part of its charm. Although a precise release date is yet to be announced (beyond a general "this winter" timeframe), Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
