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

Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively integrates FMV footage with AR investigation. Using your phone's camera, you explore 3D environments with the FMV seamlessly overlaid. This unusual approach, while quirky, demonstrates a creative approach to gameplay.

While the game boasts an intriguing concept and execution, expectations for a complex psychological thriller should be tempered. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV games, especially in the horror genre, might be a significant part of its charm. Although a precise release date (beyond a vague "this winter") remains undisclosed, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is certainly a title to keep an eye on.
