The very first thing one should know about this game is that it is a Japanese-style visual novel. Furthermore, rather than featuring choices that lead to branching story paths and endings, this visual novel is closer to an interactive linear storyline. The Ace Attorney series comes to mind as an example of this type of visual novel, though I would say that Ace Attorney's interactive aspects make you work harder to progress and therefore have a bigger payoff each time you connect the dots and figure it out. The reviews that disparage Urban Myth Dissolution Center for having no consequences or for being an interactive story with minimal gameplay are complaining about the genre, not the game itself. Being a similar visual novel type, Ace Attorney also does not really have consequences for wrong answers--loading a save is quick, the chances given are ample, and you don't lose anything afterwards for having answered incorrectly save for needing to go through a short game over sequence and needing to load to last save point (and the games let you save whenever you want). Urban Myth Dissolution Center removes the illusion of wrong-answer consequences and just lets you keep trying, and I considered this an anti-frustration feature that kept me immersed in the story. Trying to judge this game based on aspects that this game's genre is not supposed to feature is unfair and even somewhat ignorant. With this understanding squared away... Urban Myth Dissolution Center is a thoughtfully-crafted game where your player character gets to play detective to cases that don't end up as straightforward as they seem. There are plenty of predictable moments and the leaps of logic are not difficult, but I thoroughly enjoyed being led through these hoops to turn back and see how everything fits together by the end. It reminds me of the best Ace Attorney games where some components from each of your previous wacky cases come together to illuminate the truth in the grand final case. It feels incredible to experience the culmination of that build-up and I often spend days thinking back on final AA cases, replaying them for their emotional impact. Urban Myth Dissolution Center plays almost like an AA game for me in that way and I love it. The positives are many: the music, the art, the animation, and the story are excellent. I never tire of hearing that theme song getting replayed. I know the animated identification and dissolution cutscenes are just theatrics to accompany solutions that I didn't work particularly hard for, but I still get hyped when I hear the music change and the animations start up. The twists are reasonably predictable--the writers do not treat me like I'm an idiot and they also don't pull unreasonable things from thin air to try and throw me off. There are some details that seem innocuous enough at introduction to then allow you that aha! moment at callback during the dissolution. All of these things come together to make this game a very enjoyable experience. And for fairness, some minor foibles: there are some very minor errors in the text that missed the final proofread; there are some journal entries that keep popping back up as New! even though I'm sure I've read them already without new info being added; I wish it were more obvious when talking to someone or interacting with something would throw me into the next scene, especially if I wanted to finish exhausting all other dialogue options in the previous scene first; there were some pacing issues that made some scenes more rushed than others. It feels like an indie game that missed a few spots with the polish at times. But despite these things, none of them detracted too much from an ultimately positive experience for me. All-in-all, a solid 8.5/10 for me. That finale was well-played. I wish it weren't so self-contained, because I would love to have more Urban Myth Dissolution Center to play.
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.
