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 crew. The mystery revolves around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, where one individual replaces another without detection.

Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively combines FMV footage with AR investigation. Using your phone's camera, you explore 3D environments with the FMV seamlessly overlaid. This unusual approach, while quirky, demonstrates a creative use of technology.

While the game's concept and execution are intriguing, expectations should be managed. It's unlikely to be a sophisticated psychological thriller. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV games, especially within the horror genre, might be part of its charm.

Though a precise release date is yet to be announced (other than a general "this winter" timeframe), Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is definitely worth keeping an eye on. For more mobile horror experiences, check out our list of the top 25 best horror games for Android.
