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 twist on the FMV genre. Players investigate the disappearance of a missing YouTuber, Chris, by interacting with his associates, Rain, Shou, and Tangtang. The game's intriguing premise revolves around the legend of the doppelganger, where one person replaces another without detection.

The game cleverly blends FMV with augmented reality (AR) investigation. Using your phone's camera, you explore 3D environments with FMV actors superimposed, creating a visually unusual yet creative experience.

While Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double isn't aiming for highbrow psychological thriller territory, its quirky concept and execution are undeniably captivating. The inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV games is embraced, adding to the overall horror experience. Though a precise release date (beyond "this winter") remains elusive, this title is certainly one to keep an eye on.
