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 revolves around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, a creature that replaces its victim undetected.
Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively combines FMV footage with AR investigation. Using your phone's camera, you explore 3D environments where the FMV is overlaid. This unusual approach, while quirky, is undeniably creative.
While the game boasts an intriguing premise and execution, expectations should be managed. It's unlikely to be a sophisticated psychological thriller. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV horror might be precisely what makes it enjoyable.
Although a precise release date (beyond "this winter") remains elusive, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is definitely worth keeping an eye on. For those seeking more mobile horror experiences, check out our list of the top 25 best horror games for Android.
