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 investigator probing 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 creature that replaces its victim without detection.
Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively integrates FMV footage with AR investigation. Using your phone's camera, you explore 3D environments where the FMV is overlaid, creating a visually striking, albeit unusual, experience.
While the game's concept and execution are undeniably intriguing, expectations should be managed. It's unlikely to be a sophisticated psychological thriller. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV horror might be precisely what makes it enjoyable. Though a precise release date (beyond "this winter") remains elusive, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
