Azami Fukurai joins the Urban Myth Dissolution Center after seeking help for her ability to see traces left by people and events. As a field investigator, she works with the Center’s staff on cases involving strange incidents linked to urban myths.
Investigations combine browsing social media posts for rumors and leads with visiting locations, questioning people, inspecting objects, and examining residual traces. The Center’s director, Ayumu, also uses his psychic abilities to help interpret cases.
As evidence builds, players answer prompts that connect clues and identify or dissolve each myth. The story progresses through six linear episodes, with details from individual cases feeding into a larger narrative.
Players who enjoyed the game often highlight its expressive pixel art, animated case reveals, atmospheric music, and an unfolding story that ties cases together. Some found the characters and finale especially compelling, while others felt the investigations were repetitive and the ending or plot logic did not work for them.
