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 who specializes 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, where one person replaces another without detection.
Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively combines FMV footage with AR investigation. Players use their phone's camera to explore 3D environments, with the FMV seamlessly overlaid onto the real-world view. This unusual approach, while unconventional, is undeniably creative.

The game's concept and execution are intriguing, though expectations should be managed. It's unlikely to be a sophisticated psychological thriller. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV games, particularly in the horror genre, might be a significant part of its appeal. While a precise release date (beyond "this winter") remains unannounced, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
