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 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 team. 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 utilize their phone's camera to explore 3D environments, with the FMV seamlessly integrated onto the real-world setting. This unusual approach, while unconventional, demonstrates a creative use of technology.

While the game boasts an intriguing concept and execution, expectations should be managed. It's unlikely to be a sophisticated psychological thriller. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV, particularly in horror, might be part of its charm.

Although a precise release date (beyond a general "this winter" timeframe) remains unannounced, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is definitely worth keeping an eye on. For fans of mobile horror, be sure to check out our list of the top 25 best horror games for Android.
