Evaluation

Urban Myth Dissolution Center launched on February 12, 2025. In the months following launch, the developer actively addressed player feedback: a post-launch improvement plan was published on March 24, 2025, outlining bug fixes and quality-of-life additions (chapter select, text speed, auto-play, etc.), which were subsequently delivered via Version 1.0.3 (April 14, 2025) and Version 1.3.0 (June 19, 2025). These updates fulfilled all the developer's stated post-launch commitments. The developer's September 24, 2025 award announcement noted that the universe is expanding via manga, novel, and merchandise — but these are non-game media extensions, not game content. The November 26, 2025 Steam Awards post stated the team "will continue to evolve this title and work hard to create a game you can enjoy for a long time to come," which is an encouraging sentiment but not a specific announcement of new game content. There is only one DLC listed — the original soundtrack, which was released on launch day — and no unreleased DLC exists on the store. No roadmap, named expansion, or specific future content has been announced. The game shipped as a complete episodic adventure, and all post-launch developer communications describe quality-of-life improvements that have since been delivered. The last developer post was November 26, 2025, and as of June 21, 2026, roughly seven months have passed with no further announcements — consistent with a completed product that received a polished post-launch support window.

About this game

Paranormal Mystery Adventure Game

The Urban Myth Dissolution Center – your one-stop solution for dissolving and dealing with cursed relics, monstrous oddities, and dimensional anomalies!

Take on cases revolving around urban myths as Azami Fukurai, the heroine, under the supervision of Ayumu Meguriya, Level S psychic and Center Director...

The game takes you on an episodic digital mystery adventure, exploring various urban myths that haunt the internet, all presented in stunning psychedelic pixel art.

The player takes control of Azami for the detective legwork, collecting circumstantial evidence and social network posts to unravel the truth behind each urban myth, as well as the hidden pasts of each client, and why they came to encounter each oddity. The dissolution of each urban myth leads to unexpected consequences and hidden truths...

The Urban Myth Dissolution Center is a privately owned institution specializing in adaptive researchーboth onsite and onlineー, collection, and psychic divination, led by Center Director Ayumu Meguriya, focusing on the numerous urban myths that roam the offline and online worlds.

Azami Fukurai

The game's heroine is a newly-hired full-time part-time member of the Urban Myth Dissolution Center's staff. Each of the cases handled by the Center inevitably make anomalies and oddities part of her working day. Azami is able to see others' intentions and residual thoughts through her glasses.

Ayumu Meguriya

Center Director of the Urban Myth Dissolution Center, and Level S psychic. Avoids onsite research due to his wheelchair, but can divine oddities' true forms with his clairvoyant abilities.

Jasmine

Real name: Yasumi Tomarigi. Onsite investigator at the Urban Myth Dissolution Center. Her unmotivated part-timer attitude hides an unexplained wealth of skills including driving, close combat and surveillance ops.

Hakaba-Bunko

A game creator team based in Japan, whose core members are long-time aficionados of mystery-themed content. The team creates adventure games that explore innovative forms of pixel art, and is renowned for their game series, "Makoto Wakaido's Case Files".

Winning the Shueisha Game Creators CAMP award at Google Play Indie Games Festival 2021 led to a close collaboration with Shueisha Games and the birth of "Urban Myth Dissolution Center".
