Reviews

“The rich pixel-art cutscenes, the characters full of personality and eccentricity, such as Azami Fukurai, Ayumu Meguriya, and the seemingly unmotivated but actually very capable (supposedly) Jasmine, and the disturbing atmosphere of urban legends, makes for a very intriguing storyline.”
ファミ通(Famitsu)

“I was amazed by the many patterns of pixel art illustrations and portrait pictures that appear in the conversation scenes of this work, and they are even well animated. The graphics in this work are composed of pixel art with a small number of colors, but they do not look cheap at all; in fact, it gives off quite a rich impression.”
電ファミニコゲーマー(Denfaminicogamer)

“I was impressed by the new work's more individualistic portrayal of the characters and the addition of more modern elements, such as rich cutscenes and other production elements, as well as the use of social networking services for conducting investigations.”

About This Game

Paranormal Mystery Adventure Game

The Urban Myth Dissolution Center – your one-stop solution for dissolving and dealing with cursed relics, monstrous oddities, and dimensional anomalies!

Take on cases revolving around urban myths as Azami Fukurai, the heroine, under the supervision of Ayumu Meguriya, Level S psychic and Center Director...

The game takes you on an episodic digital mystery adventure, exploring various urban myths that haunt the internet, all presented in stunning psychedelic pixel art.

The player takes control of Azami for the detective legwork, collecting circumstantial evidence and social network posts to unravel the truth behind each urban myth, as well as the hidden pasts of each client, and why they came to encounter each oddity. The dissolution of each urban myth leads to unexpected consequences and hidden truths...

The Urban Myth Dissolution Center is a privately owned institution specializing in adaptive researchーboth onsite and onlineー, collection, and psychic divination, led by Center Director Ayumu Meguriya, focusing on the numerous urban myths that roam the offline and online worlds.

Azami Fukurai

The game's heroine is a newly-hired full-time part-time member of the Urban Myth Dissolution Center's staff. Each of the cases handled by the Center inevitably make anomalies and oddities part of her working day. Azami is able to see others' intentions and residual thoughts through her glasses.

Ayumu Meguriya

Center Director of the Urban Myth Dissolution Center, and Level S psychic. Avoids onsite research due to his wheelchair, but can divine oddities' true forms with his clairvoyant abilities.

Jasmine

Real name: Yasumi Tomarigi. Onsite investigator at the Urban Myth Dissolution Center. Her unmotivated part-timer attitude hides an unexplained wealth of skills including driving, close combat and surveillance ops.

Hakaba-Bunko

A game creator team based in Japan, whose core members are long-time aficionados of mystery-themed content. The team creates adventure games that explore innovative forms of pixel art, and is renowned for their game series, "Makoto Wakaido's Case Files".

Winning the Shueisha Game Creators CAMP award at Google Play Indie Games Festival 2021 led to a close collaboration with Shueisha Games and the birth of "Urban Myth Dissolution Center".
