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 team. The mystery centers around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, where one person replaces another without detection.
Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively combines FMV footage with AR investigation. Players use their phone's camera to explore 3D environments, with the FMV seamlessly integrated onto the real-world imagery. While unconventional, this approach is undeniably creative.
The game's concept and execution are certainly intriguing. However, it's unlikely to be a sophisticated psychological thriller. Yet, this might not be a drawback; the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV horror can be part of its charm. While a precise release date (beyond "this winter") is unavailable, this title warrants attention.
