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 investigate the disappearance of a missing YouTuber, Chris, interacting with his associates Rain, Shou, and Tangtang. The core mystery revolves around the legend of doubles or doppelgangers, where one person replaces another undetected.

The game innovatively overlays FMV footage onto real-world environments captured through the player's phone's camera. This unconventional approach, while unusual, demonstrates a creative use of AR technology.

While the game's concept is intriguing, expectations for a deep psychological thriller should be managed. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV games, particularly within the horror genre, could be a significant part of its charm. Although a precise release date (beyond a "this winter" timeframe) remains unannounced, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is certainly worth keeping an eye on.
