9/10

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...

9/10

Urban Myth Dissolution Center is a thrilling visual novel that uses its gameplay to the fullest effect. By putting the player in Azami’s shoes, the detective mechanics feel more immersive. Interviewing people, scrolling through social media and bringing everything together through hypotheses is a strong point of the game. The visuals also add a lot. Some of the art is creepy and helps the tone out...

80/100

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.

A stylish but slow-paced mystery anthology that's just a little too sluggish for its own good.

6/10

Most of us have grown up hearing about urban legends, like the man with a hook for a hand terrorizing teenagers trying to make out, or the Loch Ness Monster, or even Polybius, the famed ultra-rare video game that caused migraines and even heart attacks to those who played it. How many of us attempted to conjure Bloody Mary by saying her name three times in front of a mirror in a darkened room? I k...

Unscored

All in all, it’s tough for me to pin down my feelings regarding Urban Myth Dissolution Center. Between its sumptuous pixel art, vibrant personalities and unabashed nerdiness, it’s a game that I admire a lot. (I haven’t even mentioned the music and sound design, which perfectly sell the game’s paranoid atmosphere.) But the final scenes left a bad taste in my mouth, and that’s just enough to sink a ...
