Playism's upcoming release, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double, offers a unique blend of FMV and augmented reality gameplay. Players investigate the disappearance of a missing YouTuber, Chris, interacting with his associates Rain, Shou, and Tangtang. The mystery centers around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, where one person replaces another unnoticed.
The game's innovative approach combines full-motion video (FMV) with AR investigation. Players use their phone's camera to explore 3D environments, with the FMV seamlessly integrated onto the real-world setting. This unusual technique, while quirky, adds a creative layer to the experience.
While Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double boasts an intriguing premise and execution, expectations should be managed. It's unlikely to be a sophisticated psychological thriller. However, embracing the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV horror might enhance enjoyment. Though a precise release date remains unconfirmed (a winter release is anticipated), this title is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
