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 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 crew. 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 directly onto real-world environments using the player's phone camera. This AR approach allows for an unconventional investigative experience. While the FMV aesthetic might be considered dated by some, the game embraces its inherent cheesiness, promising a fun, if not necessarily nuanced, horror experience.
While a precise release date remains unconfirmed (beyond a general "this winter" timeframe), the game's unique concept and execution warrant attention. Those seeking a sophisticated psychological thriller might find their expectations tempered, but fans of cheesy horror and innovative game mechanics will likely find Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double an intriguing prospect.
