Urban Myth Dissolution Center review
A stylish but slow-paced mystery anthology that's just a little too sluggish for its own good.
Rather, the cases you're investigating here are all strange stories of paranormal phenomena - occult tales that are, perhaps, disappointingly more Western-leaning than you might expect considering its contemporary Japanese setting, not to mention quite tame and sanitised versions of them compared to the more overt horror fare found in similar games like Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo. Characterful and fidgety pixel art portraits help to convey buckets of personality for each of its shifty cast members, and its stark use of colour works exceptionally hard to give each case a striking and otherworldly feel to it. Everyday scenes are cast in varying shades of white and blue, but these calm and soothing dioramas are violently interrupted by its scarlet ghouls, ghosts and main characters, instantly drawing your eye and making you stand to attention.
