This was a really, REALLY fun ride throughout. The visuals were beautiful, I loved the themes, the interactables, how modern everything felt without feeling forced in. The modern language for example did not feel out of place at all. This was a great work, start to finish, and I am really hoping for more from the studio in line with this game, as it has become very special to me. To make the game even better, leave a lot more of the hypothesis. Coming up with and actually trying to figure out what happened myself was a huge appeal to me. I loved reading the book too, and if this game was expanded upon in the future I'd buy 10 copies

This is a woefully underrated detective game starring Azami Fukurai, a clairvoyant girl who can see ghostly "traces" of other people, as she becomes a part of the mysterious "Urban Myth Dissolution Center", which investigates the mysteries surrounding rumors and urban legends. Along the way, she'll meet a cast of strange characters and ultimately unravel a grand conspiracy surrounding the dark-web occult hub SAMEZIMA and its mysterious plans for a "Great Reset". In terms of gameplay, Urban Myth Dissolution Center is a simple visual novel where you click around to investigate various crime scenes, similar to an Ace Attorney (especially the Edgeworth games). Nothing groundbreaking on its own -- especially since there's no real penalty for coming up with a wrong answer -- but this game sets itself apart from the pack with its visuals. The graphics are a huge part of the appeal here: there's elaborate pixel art everywhere you look, from the characters' dialogue portraits to the "Dissolution" segments at the very end. The game also has a great story that encourages you to be as skeptical as possible, with all sorts of seemingly supernatural incidents (curses, parallel dimensions, etc.) that you'll pick apart with logic and debunk by figuring out how they actually happened. It's a novel concept that reminds me a bit of the witch trials in "Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright". The way information is disseminated through the Internet is also a central theme of the story, and you'll touch on topics like shady influencers, cancel culture, and corrupt individuals who try to manipulate the flow of information for their own gain. The world building in this game is awesome. They give you a little encyclopedia of urban myths that gradually fills up as you trawl through various social media threads while solving each case. There's a mix of superstitions/conspiracy theories pretty much everybody knows (Bloody Mary, lizard people, doppelgangers) and some surprisingly obscure ones (did you know that Ryomen Sukuna of Jujutsu Kaisen fame was based on a Japanese tall tale?). You even get a goofy reindeer mascot who speaks in puns. Deer me! So much to fawn over in this game! Overall, if you're a fan of mystery visual novels like Ace Attorney, Danganronpa, and Your Turn to Die, please do yourself a favor and play this game! And try out "Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane" too, while you're at it!

Just a visual novel, very linear, but I really loved the visual style and music. So many games attempt this style but rarely pull it off this well, with the contrasting color palettes. Half of the game is reading chaotic online discussions, contrasting with the quiet and eerie on-site investigations. So it works very well at being a mystery thriller, ramping up into solving each case with a logical explanation... but is still a horror story where other things in the story get even weirder and creepier. Doing BOTH genres this well at the same time is very rare, and they both feel like they got a satisfying build-up and conclusion.

I got into this game expecting some sort of detective graphic adventure game. It's not what I got. It's more akin to a visual novel. The structure of the game is very linear, and doesn't present much challenge at all. That said, I really enjoyed the style, the music, the writing (although the translation is occasionally pretty cringe, with gen Z slang like "no cap" which will be old and lost in translation in 5 years, and there are some spelling mistakes here and there), and I really liked the ending. It's not a perfect game, by any means, but a solid 7, which I would recommend to people capable of looking past a couple plot holes if the story and characters are likeable enough. I would really like watching an anime based on this story.

Definitely worth getting(as long as you can tolerate VN's): as the Pixel art and animations are a visual feast for the eyes. But that said, the game has many gameplay flaws. Firstly: the game never stops holding your hand. Things are very over-explained, and doesn't leave much up to players agency to investigate. This causes the game to be overly wordy and drawn out in some places. Your co-worker will chime in and comment on every single thing, and tell you what to do, for almost the entire game. And there is no other endings, so the game is a very linear experience. That said- there were several instances where the culprits of cases did genuinely surprise me. Secondly: The ending. I will do my best not to spoil it- but because I didn't really get much about WHY people didn't like it in the reviews... I'd at least like to give you my personal impression about why the ending has not gone over well with people. I personally thought that the ending was conceptually great. However, it was extremely poorly built up to... So it didn't pay off like it could've. When I really think about the ending and the cases before it.... I just don't see any point where it was possible for someone to pick up on it. I thought I knew what the twist would be, and I DID end up being half correct.... But the other half is exactly what I'm sure everyone felt was out of nowhere. Because at NO point was there any reason to doubt or question the in-universe logic of the game the way it was presented. There were no hints dropped about the actual twist in question at all.... And it has everything to do with how the protagonist is written VS that twist. In order to set something like that up and have players feel satisfied... there needed to be MORE hints that would make the player question things very early on. And yes, the ending did leave some significant plot holes concerning the protagonists clairvoyance..... When the cause was finally explained; my initial reaction was 'THERE IS NO WAY THAT'S IT. THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE'. Haha... So yeah. I DO think the game is worth playing. The game makes perfect sense until the very end. Literally, when the gameplay is over: thats when the rug is suddenly pulled out from under you. And like I said; the ending is conceptually good- But expect to be disappointed and confused by the reveal. In multiple ways.
