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 searching for a missing YouTuber who specialized in urban legends.
The game utilizes a novel approach: FMV footage is superimposed onto real-world environments viewed through your phone's camera. This unusual combination of AR and FMV creates a distinct and creative investigative experience.
You'll meet Chris's associates—Rain, Shou, and Tangtang—and delve into the legend of the double, or doppelganger, a creature that replaces its victim without detection.
While Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double might not redefine the psychological thriller genre, its quirky charm and innovative gameplay make it an intriguing prospect. The game embraces the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV horror, promising a fun, if not deeply serious, experience. Though the release date is still unconfirmed (sometime this winter), it's definitely worth keeping an eye on.
