VR-Enhanced Urban Legend Hunt Returns for Sequel

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

Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively integrates FMV footage directly onto real-world environments captured through your phone's camera using AR technology. This unconventional approach, while unusual, adds a creative layer to the investigation.

While the game's concept is intriguing, expectations for a deeply nuanced psychological thriller should be tempered. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV games, especially in the horror genre, might be a significant part of its appeal. Although a precise release date (beyond a general "this winter" timeframe) is still pending, this title warrants attention.
