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, where one individual replaces another without detection.
Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively integrates FMV footage directly overlaid onto real-world environments viewed through your phone's camera. This AR approach allows for interactive investigation within 3D spaces. While the FMV aesthetic might be considered dated by some, its unique implementation here adds a creative twist.
The game's concept and execution are undeniably intriguing. While not aiming for a highbrow psychological thriller, its embrace of cheesy horror and FMV tropes might appeal to those seeking a fun, unconventional experience. Though a precise release date remains elusive (sometime this winter), Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is certainly worth keeping an eye on.
