Urban Legend Hunters Strike Back in VR-AR Adventure

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 investigator probing the disappearance of a missing YouTuber specializing in urban legends.

The game utilizes a novel approach: FMV footage is superimposed onto real-world environments captured via a player's phone camera. This creative use of AR allows for interactive investigation within 3D spaces. While the FMV genre might evoke a sense of 90s nostalgia, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double aims for a fun, albeit possibly cheesy, experience rather than a serious psychological thriller.

You'll encounter Rain, Shou, and Tangtang, fellow channel members, as you delve into the legend of the double – a doppelganger myth where one person replaces another undetected.

The game's intriguing premise and execution are undeniable. Though it may not reinvent the psychological thriller, the expected cheesiness inherent to FMV horror could be a significant part of its charm. While a precise release date (sometime this winter) remains elusive, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
