Listen up Paranormasight fans, this is your next great spooky Japanese detective game
Talk about a rough first day at work. You sit down to start explaining all the strange ghosts you've been seeing lately…
It certainly makes for a chilling start to Hakababunko's brilliant Steam Next Fest demo for their upcoming, spook-filled mystery game Urban Myth Dissolution Center, and fans of last year's excellent Paranormasight would do well to keep this one firmly in their sights when it launches in full next February. Fortunately for Azami, she possesses the rare power of clairvoyance, and thanks to a handy set of glasses that focus her nascent abilities, she can swiftly swap between each state to identify all kinds of supernatural nasties that are naked to the human eye. As you might expect, Azami survives her encounter with the cursed chair (there wouldn't be the rest of the game without her), but as she delves deeper into her first real case, these revelation moments mostly just throw up more questions over the course of the investigation, leading to new avenues of enquiry, and new dialogue opportunities with the witnesses and victims.
