Virtual Worlds Collide with Reality 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 utilizes FMV sequences, a relatively rare element in modern gaming, superimposed onto real-world environments via AR technology using your phone's camera. This unusual approach, while unconventional, presents a creative twist on the investigation process.

The storyline revolves around Chris, the missing YouTuber, and three individuals claiming to be part of his team: Rain, Shou, and Tangtang. The mystery centers around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, where one individual replaces another without detection.

While Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double boasts an intriguing premise and innovative execution, expectations should be managed. It's unlikely to be a sophisticated psychological thriller. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV games, particularly within the horror genre, might contribute to its charm. A specific release date hasn't been announced, but a winter release is anticipated.
