Virtual Worlds and Live-Action Merge in 'Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double'

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 centers around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, where one person replaces another without detection.

Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively overlays FMV footage onto real-world environments captured through your phone's camera. This AR approach allows players to explore 3D spaces and conduct their investigations in a novel way. While the concept is undeniably quirky, it's also undeniably creative.

While not a serious psychological thriller, the game embraces the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV horror. This playful approach could be a significant part of its charm. Although a precise release date (beyond "this winter") remains elusive, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
