Azami Fukurai was born with the ability to see the supernatural. And when she turned to the Urban Myth Dissolution Center to rid herself of this unwanted gift, she finds herself roped into investigating bizarre anomalies, cursed objects and otherworldly realms instead. Alongside your partner, Jasmine, it’s time to unravel the chilling mysteries behind everyday urban legends.

What we love: Learning the shapes of modern-day myths, then methodically dismantling them one by one. Search for rumours circulating on social networks, interview the posters and local investigators, identify urban legends that match the event and finally reveal the crux of the mystery. Behind every story is a shocking truth.

Despite its supernatural subjects, this game relies on real scientific logic to give you that perfect “aha!” moment every time you solve a puzzle. With a brilliant script that weaves early breadcrumbs into a massive late-game payoff, this game is an absolute treat for mystery lovers.

Quick tip: Azami’s special ability becomes clearer when she wears her glasses. You’ll need to trigger this special ability at crucial moments to uncover the truth. During deduction scenes, the centre director Ayumu Meguriya appears in Azami’s mind to provide commentary. The distinct pixel art and the dark-toned world further enhance the game’s moody, mysterious vibe.

Meet the creator: This game is developed by the indie game developer Hakaba Bunko, known for the Makoto Wakaido's Case Files series. Together in collaboration with the publisher Shueisha Games, they released Urban Myth Dissolution Center in 2025 before launching it on iOS after about a year.
