Immersive Ghost Hunt: 'Urban Legend Hunters 2' Blends Reality with Digital Realms

Playism's upcoming release, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double, offers a unique twist on the FMV genre. Players step into the shoes of an investigator probing the disappearance of a missing YouTuber specializing in urban legends.

The game blends FMV sequences with augmented reality (AR) investigation. Using your phone's camera, you'll explore 3D environments overlaid with FMV footage – a visually unusual, yet inventive approach. You'll encounter Rain, Shou, and Tangtang, fellow members of the missing YouTuber's channel, as you unravel the mystery surrounding the "double" – a doppelganger legend where one person replaces another undetected.

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