About
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.

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.

ストーリーゲームでこれはダメでしょ ゲームを雰囲気で楽しんでいるという人にはいいのかもね 少なくとも私はがっかり
第二話か第三話あたりでもう相当しんどかった…。クリアしてないのにレビューを書くのもためらわれたので、「まだ続きあるのか…」と絶望しながらようやくクリアした。先に行っておくと、ドット絵のグラフィックはとてもすごかったと思う。 SNS調査が絶望的に長くて多くて面白くなかった。いちいちSNSの書き込みに対してキャラがコメントもしてくれるが、どれもそれほど面白いものではなかった。冗長。ゲームの仕掛け的にも、揺れてる文字に対して特定のボタンを押すみたいなのも、謎解きとしてはえらい中途半端。それなのに何回も何回も何回もあるので、本当に毎回心が折れた(おもしろくなさすぎて)。 ストーリーも導入からやや強引だったし、「特定」をする意味がわからなかった。無理やり事件を都市伝説に結び付けている割には、結局それらの都市伝説と食い違う部分も出てくるため、ただ都市伝説要素をこじつけているようにしか見えなかった。 このクオリティの作品が、スチームの評価で非常に好評になっていることに一番の恐怖を感じる。一般大衆が、ありもしない「非常に好評」を信じ込む皮肉を表現しているのか(その評価を信じて私も買ってしまったが…)、それか制作者たちの天才的ハッキングor不正行為によって評価が操作されているとしか思えない。この矛盾に満ちた評価込みでSNSや噂の闇を表現しているのなら、少しは納得できる部分もある…いや、やっぱりセリフ回しなどが面白くない。あと、アレかな…。[spoiler]あざみの成長物語[/spoiler]が話の軸にあるのかという期待が裏切られるのもやっぱり良くなかったかな。茶番感が増してしまったように思う。[spoiler]噂によって暴走する衆愚[/spoiler]というのも、SNSが関係しているといえど陳腐なテーマに感じた。全体的に、話の作りが雑で、キャラクター(特にジマー)が何したいのかという部分も分かりにくく、話に入っていきづらい作品だった。納期とか、上司からの指導(?)や会社からの何らかの要請があったのではないかとか、ストーリー制作者さんに何らかのハンデやしがらみがあったためにあんなクオリティになってしまったのかなと邪推してしまう。
if there was a mixed option on steam id click it the game overall is great but the ending was very unexpected. would recommend if your into detective games with a lot of reading and really good visual.
What a ride! Honestly sad I slept on this for so long. There is something nostalgic about the vibe, music and atmosphere of this game and the way it told a story kept me gripped from the start. This was something special and If you are a fan of old horror and mystery anime such as Higurashi no naku koro ni, definitely check this one out.
This is like if Ace Attorney and Paranormasight had a weird ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up child. I don't think I want to say anything because this game is truly best going into it blind. If the game is starting to lose you, I would recommend pushing on it's REALLY worth it. Also side note but this game actually HAS A PHYSICAL RELEASE (Japan release only tho) and WE will be buying that
This game badly needs to drop the pretense of being a detective game. You still have to do deductions but they're both tedious and obvious, so there's no satisfaction to getting it right. Worse still, "gathering evidence" is just walking back and forth and clicking on every available option while revealing almost nothing new. The only purpose is to get the player character to have certain thoughts that she can then express to other NPCs and ask about new topics. After one case I was already completely sick of it.
演出の盛り方の割りにミステリ部分にケレン味や迫力が感じられず、ちぐはぐ感とテンポの悪さがしんどくて1章完了時点で離脱 ミステリという言葉自体を知らないぐらい普段触れてなければ、あるいはこの演出が純粋にスゲー!となるなら楽しめるのかもしれない
Such a beautiful game, from the art to the story. It’s an absolute masterpiece! While it is a linear visual novel, the music, art, and storytelling are so incredible that it’s a must-play, whether you typically like visual novels or not. And the cherry on top is the fantastic ending—it completely changes your perspective on the entire game. Please, play it! :3
I just beat this one and I really enjoyed it! For a detective game, the difficulty balance is very good. You have to actually pay attention to solve things, but it's logical so you won't run into things that are so obtuse you'd never guess the answer. I strongly recommend it for people who enjoy mystery games with a lot of plot, and don't mind sitting through some dialogue/reading. It's also structured in "chapters" so it's easy to find good stopping points (I say as a busy adult with a full-time job and responsibilities. 😅)
是非やってみほてしい、ノベライトゲームで一番面白かったかもしれないです。
