Sequel 'Urban Legend Hunters 2' Blends Reality and Metaverse

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 who specializes in urban legends.

The game utilizes a novel approach: FMV footage is superimposed onto real-world environments viewed through your phone's camera. This unusual technique, while unconventional, adds a creative layer to the investigation. You'll encounter a cast of characters – Rain, Shou, and Tangtang – who claim to be part of the missing YouTuber's team, and unravel the mystery surrounding doubles and doppelgangers.

While Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double might not redefine the psychological thriller genre, its quirky concept and execution promise an entertaining experience. The game embraces the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV horror, which can be a significant part of its appeal. Although a precise release date is yet to be announced (beyond a "this winter" timeframe), it's definitely worth keeping an eye on.
