Urban Myth Dissolution Center

First of all, this is basically a visual novel. You can't really fail or get stuck. If you've played something like Higurashi, it's much closer to that than, say, Disco Elysium. I mention this because I've seen negative reviews complaining that the game holds your hand too much. If you're looking for a proper puzzle game where you have to figure everything out yourself, this probably isn't it. What you do get is a really good story. There are six investigation cases, and they get more complicated as the game goes on. They're all connected by a mysterious set of cards that seem to predict a pretty bleak future involving destruction and judgment. The most satisfying part is seeing how the protagonist explains cases that initially look completely supernatural and impossible. Which makes sense, considering you're literally working for the Urban Myth Dissolution Center. Putting those myths to rest is kind of the whole point. I also really liked the art direction. The pixel art is very expressive and has a lot of personality, and the music is great too. I will absolutely be stealing some of these ideas for my RPG sessions. Very good visual novel. Easy recommendation fro…

I picked this up for the chance at seeing some cryptids and youkai, and what I got was an interesting commentary on the dissemination and dissolution of stories in the internet age. I really loved the way myths were used and discussed, and how that commentary tied into so many current and salient topics. This definitely has a spirit similar to Ace Attorney, but I was a little disappointed by where some of the cases ended. The director's appearance often felt premature, so it can feel more like someone else is solving the case for you. It didn't detract much from my enjoyment of the game, but it was definitely noticed. The pixelated portraits and cutscenes are gorgeous and the music is nice, but I wish there was a bit more variety in the tracks. Overall, I had a really good time with this. I think the ending went a bit too far in its grand reveal (I was willing to accept everything until that ultimate secret), but I'd still recommend it for a cute little mystery game, especially if you've any interest in the occult.

I was disappointed with the first chapter, but I realized I was playing with the wrong mindset. I was expecting logical consistency and player agency in solving the case to be in the spotlight, like in ace attorney, but this title prioritizes the atmosphere and presentation, more like professor layton. I adjusted my expectations and had an amazing time. This game definitely has sauce, the animations are stylish, the graphics are well done, and there are drama and philosophy to be pondered on. The story is pretty interesting if you treat it as a netflix series not a mystery novel, just skim no need to read each word carefully, especially during the social media search part, which can be a slog. I saw a lot of players criticize the ending, that it left them feeling empty, and I can think that's totally valid. It leaves a lot to speculation and some people are calling the whole game bs over it. I read spoilers on the big twist after finishing chapter 1 and playing though game with it in mind, I didn't think the twist itself was really that ridiculous, though the ending left a lot to be desired. I also saw people claiming to dislike this game because they think it doesn't have a cle…

Genuinely one of my favorite games I've ever played.

Bought the game for the Silent Hill f collab. The story and gameplay were both great, but what sold it for me was the artwork. Kudos to the artists! [spoiler] I'm still angry at myself for not recognising the glasses :( [/spoiler]
