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 team. The mystery revolves around the legend of the double, or doppelganger, where one person replaces another without detection.

Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double innovatively combines FMV footage with AR investigation. Players use their phone's camera to explore 3D environments, with the FMV seamlessly integrated over the real-world setting. This unusual approach, while unconventional, demonstrates a creative use of technology.

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

Although a precise release date is yet to be announced (beyond a general "this winter" timeframe), Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double is definitely worth keeping an eye on. For those who enjoy mobile horror games, this title is a promising addition to the genre. Check out our top 25 best horror games for Android for more chilling mobile experiences.
