Critic Reviews for Urban Myth Dissolution Center
A stylish but slow-paced mystery anthology that's just a little too sluggish for its own good.
If you can’t tell by now, I’m deeply in love with this game. I just don’t want to give away too much yet. But I believe it tells an important story about the made-up, easily digestible realities behind the complicated, horrible events in our day-to-day lives. About social media white knight justice as a feel-good spectator sport and how we treat tragedies, culprits, and their victims in our always-online world.
If you like psychological horror, thrillers, mysteries, and the atmosphere of ghost stories, you’ll enjoy Urban Myth Dissolution Center. If you prefer your games to have actual gameplay beyond gathering and assembling information, you probably won’t. But please give this title a shot just for the sheer experience of playing it. It’s an unsettling gem.
Leaning more into visual novel territory than detective work, Urban Myth Dissolution Center firmly guides you through some of the spookiest stories in contemporary folklore. Its striking pixel art and emphasis on social media as a tool for investigation lend it a unique charm, though it's let down by repetitive gameplay and awkwardness in its narrative pacing. Worth a look for fans of creepypasta, but those keen on a more fleshed-out investigative experience may be left wanting.
In an era where Japanese detective games have become increasingly rare, Urban Myth Dissolution Center stands out despite some questionable case quality. Its creativity, premise, and excellent final twist make it a title worth recommending. As long as you're willing to overlook its somewhat sluggish investigation segments and the lack of challenging deductions, the game ultimately delivers a satisfying experience.

If any bit of what I've said so far is compelling, please stop reading any content about Urban Myth Dissolution Center and go buy and play this game. It's one of my favorite games of its type, maybe ever, and I am really dying for similar games from this developer. This is a unique, incredibly well made experience that came out of nowhere for me - that might be an urban myth of its own.
An excellent horror/thriller story that could have benefited from a more brave and focused gameplay system.
