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, and the consequences of two such beings meeting.
Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double utilizes AR technology in an innovative way. Instead of simply overlaying FMV footage onto real-world environments, the game projects the FMV onto the environment, creating a visually distinctive experience.
While the game's concept is intriguing, expectations for a complex psychological thriller should be managed. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV games, especially within the horror genre, might be part of its charm. Although a precise release date (beyond "this winter") remains unknown, this title warrants attention.
