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 who specialized in urban legends.
The game cleverly blends FMV sequences with augmented reality (AR) exploration. Using your phone's camera, you'll investigate 3D environments overlaid with the FMV footage—a novel approach that's both strange and inventive.
You'll encounter Rain, Shou, and Tangtang, purported members of the missing YouTuber's team, as you unravel the mystery surrounding the "double" or doppelganger legend—a tale where one person replaces another without detection.
While Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double isn't aiming for highbrow psychological thriller territory, its quirky concept and execution are undeniably intriguing. The game embraces the inherent cheesiness often associated with FMV horror, promising a fun, if not groundbreaking, experience.
Though a precise release date hasn't been announced (beyond a general "this winter" timeframe), this title deserves attention. And for those who think mobile gaming and horror don't mix, think again! Check out our list of the top 25 best horror games for Android to see what we mean.
