Urban Legend Hunters 2: VR-Infused Sequel Conjures Digital Scares

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 specializing 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 revolves around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, a being that can replace another without detection.

Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively combines FMV sequences with AR investigation. Using your phone's camera, you explore 3D environments with the FMV footage overlaid, creating a visually distinctive experience.

While the game's concept and execution are undeniably intriguing, expectations should be managed. It's unlikely to be a sophisticated psychological thriller. However, the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV games, particularly within the horror genre, could be a significant part of its charm.

Although a precise release date (beyond a "this winter" timeframe) remains undisclosed, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is certainly worth keeping an eye on. Meanwhile, for mobile horror fans, check out our list of the top 25 best horror games for Android.
