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 undetected.
Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively integrates FMV footage directly onto real-world environments captured through your phone's camera. This AR approach, while unconventional, adds a creative layer to the investigation.
While the game's concept is intriguing, expectations for a deep psychological thriller might be unrealistic. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV games, especially in the horror genre, could contribute to its charm. Although a precise release date (beyond "this winter") remains unannounced, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
