The world of full-motion video (FMV) in gaming, once a trend in the 90s, now often leans towards the quirky side. However, the upcoming release, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double from Playism, aims to breathe new life into this genre. While it may not revolutionize FMV gaming, it promises to be a fun and intriguing experience.

In Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double, you step into the shoes of an outsider investigating the mysterious disappearance of Chris, a YouTuber known for exploring urban legends. You'll encounter characters like Rain, Shou, and Tangtang, who are supposedly part of Chris's channel. The game delves into the legend of the "double" or doppelganger, where two entities meet and one replaces the other seamlessly.

The game innovatively blends FMV with augmented reality (AR) investigations. Using your phone's camera, you navigate 3D environments to uncover clues. What sets this game apart is the superimposition of FMV actors directly onto these environments, creating a unique and somewhat bizarre experience that showcases creativity.

While Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double boasts an interesting concept and execution, it's wise to keep expectations in check. It's unlikely to be a deeply nuanced psychological thriller. However, this might not be a drawback. The charm of FMV often lies in its campiness, which can enhance the horror elements of the game. Although an exact release date remains elusive, with only a tentative window of this winter, this game is certainly one to keep an eye on.
