Together, they tackle cases involving cursed relics, haunted properties, and dimensional anomalies.

In this digital mystery adventure, players collect evidence and analyze social network posts to unravel the truth behind each myth. Azami, equipped with glasses that reveal others' intentions and residual thoughts, works alongside Jasmine, an unmotivated part-timer with a hidden skill set, to explore monstrous oddities and surreal dimensions.

Urban Myth Dissolution Center not only investigates well-known urban legends like the Axeman Under the Bed but also features Hakaba-Bunko's signature psychedelic pixel art, enhancing the game's eerie atmosphere. As the creators hint, some urban myths may just hold a grain of truth, and this game aims to explore that ambiguity.
