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 centers around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, where one person replaces another without anyone noticing.

Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively combines FMV sequences with AR investigation. Players use their phone's camera to explore 3D environments, with the FMV footage seamlessly overlaid onto the real-world view. This unusual approach, while quirky, demonstrates a creative use of technology.

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 games, particularly in the horror genre, might be part of its charm. Although a precise release date (beyond "this winter") remains unannounced, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
