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 specializing in urban legends.

The game features a cast of characters—Rain, Shou, and Tangtang—who claim to be associated with the missing YouTuber, Chris. The mystery revolves around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, where one individual replaces another without detection.

Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively integrates FMV footage overlaid onto real-world environments via AR technology. Players use their phone's camera to explore these 3D spaces and conduct their investigation. While the approach is unconventional, it's undeniably creative.

The game’s concept and execution are intriguing, but expectations should be managed. It’s unlikely to be a sophisticated psychological thriller. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV horror might be precisely what makes it enjoyable. Though a precise release date (beyond "this winter") remains elusive, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
