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 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 mystery revolves around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, where one person replaces another without detection.
Urban Legend Hunters 2 innovatively overlays FMV footage onto real-world environments captured through your phone's camera. This AR approach allows for unique investigation mechanics within 3D spaces. While the FMV aesthetic might be considered dated by some, the game's creative execution makes for an intriguing experience.
While not a high-brow psychological thriller, the game embraces the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV horror, resulting in a potentially entertaining, if not unconventional, gaming experience. Though a precise release date remains elusive (expected this winter), Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is certainly worth keeping an eye on.
