Urban Legend Hunters 2 Blends Reality and VR

Playism's upcoming release, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double, offers a unique blend of FMV and augmented reality gameplay. Players investigate the disappearance of a missing YouTuber, Chris, interacting with his associates Rain, Shou, and Tangtang. The mystery centers around the legend of the double – a doppelganger who replaces its counterpart unnoticed.

The game's innovative approach combines pre-recorded video (FMV) with AR investigation. Players use their phone's camera to explore 3D environments, with the FMV seamlessly overlaid. This unusual combination, while quirky, demonstrates a creative approach to the genre.

While Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double may not be a high-brow psychological thriller, its charm lies in its embrace of cheesy horror tropes, a common element in the FMV genre. Though a precise release date is yet to be announced (beyond a "this winter" timeframe), this intriguing title warrants attention.

For fans of mobile horror, this game is a must-watch. To further explore the world of mobile horror gaming, check out our list of the top 25 best horror games for Android.
