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 crew. The mystery revolves around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, a phenomenon where one person replaces another without detection.

Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively integrates FMV footage directly overlaid onto real-world environments captured through the player's phone's camera. This AR approach allows for interactive investigation within 3D spaces. While the FMV aesthetic might be considered dated by some, it contributes to the game's overall quirky charm.

While not a high-brow psychological thriller, the game's unusual concept and execution are undeniably intriguing. The inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV games, particularly in the horror genre, adds to its appeal. Although a precise release date is yet to be announced (a winter release is anticipated), Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
