Immersive Adventure: 'Urban Legend Hunters 2' Blends Reality with the Digital Realm

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 YouTuber specializing in urban legends.

The game features a cast of characters claiming affiliation with the missing YouTuber, and delves into the legend of the double, or doppelganger. The core gameplay involves using your phone's camera to explore 3D AR environments overlaid with full-motion video (FMV) sequences. This unusual approach, while unconventional, presents a creative twist on the FMV genre.

While not aiming for a highbrow psychological thriller, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double embraces the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV horror games. This playful approach makes it an intriguing title, despite its somewhat vague winter release window. Though the FMV genre may be considered dated, this game’s innovative use of AR could make it a fun, albeit quirky, experience.
