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 utilizes a novel approach, superimposing FMV actors onto real-world 3D environments viewed through your phone's camera. This unusual combination of AR and FMV creates a distinctive investigative experience.

You'll encounter Rain, Shou, and Tangtang, fellow members of the missing YouTuber's channel, as you unravel the mystery surrounding the "double," or doppelganger, a legend where one person replaces another without detection.

While the game's concept and execution are undeniably intriguing, expectations for a deep psychological thriller should be managed. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV, particularly in horror, might be a key part of its appeal. Though a precise release date isn't yet available (beyond a general "this winter" timeframe), Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is certainly worth keeping an eye on.
