PLAYISM  is proud to have made many announcements during INDIE Live Expo 2024.12.7, the largest indie game showcase livestream in the world.


These include the release date for Urban Legend Hunters: Double, the mystery adventure puzzle game by Toii Games, a Nintendo Switch port for From Madness with Love, the crazy romantic visual novel by Jamsanpoid and VampireK.K., and a brand new PLAYISM title–The Little Tomb: The Maholova Club and the Search for a Dead Body, a coming-of-age adventure by CAVYHOUSE!

 
Urban Legend Hunters: Double Coming this Winter!
■ About the Game
Chris, a popular Utuber who runs a channel about urban legends, has mysteriously disappeared. You, the player, coincidentally come across a crucial clue that could help solve this case, and so you work with the other channel members to seek out the truth. Soon, you learn of an urban legend where a person gets replaced by a perfect copy of themself—the double, and that it's heavily connected to this mystery...

Will you believe the strange phenomenon you witness? Who will you trust, and who will you be wary of? The conclusion of the story changes based on your decisions.
Urban Legend Hunters: Double will be released on Steam, as well as on iOS and Android mobile devices, on the same day.

Unlike the Steam version, in the mobile version you will view the game through the same viewpoint as the protagonist by directly playing on your smartphone. Some sections require using AR or gyroscope controls, which make the experience even more immersive. Try not to let the urban legends spread in real life, though...

The game is slated to release this winter, so please wishlist it on Steam and look forward to more updates!
