Urban Myth Dissolution Center is a single-player psycho-detective mystery adventure where you take on the role of Azami Fukurai, tasked with unraveling mysteries as she helps run the day-to-day operation of the titular Dissolution Center. She’s no ordinary rookie, though, possessing the ability to see the memories of places through her glasses. Utilizing her unique gifts and abilities, Azami must navigate cursed relics, dimensional anomalies, and otherworldly creatures in search of answers, delving into the paranormal activity surrounding each case.
In the Urban Myth Dissolution Center Steam Next Fest demo, experience the first episode of the game for around 1.5hrs of gameplay. Play as Azami Fukurai as she becomes introduced to the enigmatic agency and her colleagues: the unenthusiastic but capable colleague Jasmine; and the wheelchair-bound director and psychic Ayumu Meguriya. Can Azami trust who she’s suddenly working with? Can you solve the mysteries surrounding Azami’s first case?
Urban Myth Dissolution Center is set to launch on February 13, 2025, on PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5. It will support multiple languages, including English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, and Hindi.
