Award-winning Paranormal Mystery Adventure Urban Myth Dissolution Center Now Available on iOS & Android

Japan Game Award 2025 "Excellence" Winner Brings Its Psychedelic Pixel Art Investigation Experience to Mobile


TOKYO, Japan — March 19, 2026 — Shueisha Games today announced that Urban Myth Dissolution Center, the acclaimed paranormal mystery adventure game developed by Hakababunko, is now available on iOS and Android. The mobile version launches at $17.99 USD and is available to download now on the App Store and Google Play.

Urban Myth Dissolution Center invites players to join rookie investigator Azami Fukurai at a privately-run institution dedicated to researching — and dissolving — the cursed relics, monstrous oddities, and dimensional anomalies lurking behind the internet's most unsettling urban legends. Under the guidance of Center Director Ayumu Meguriya, a Level S psychic, players collect evidence and unravel the hidden truths behind each case across an episodic supernatural mystery narrative rendered in the game's signature psychedelic pixel art style.

The game earned the Japan Game Award 2025 “Excellence” prize and has garnered recognition at industry events worldwide since its original February 2025 launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC. The iOS/Android release brings the complete original experience to mobile for the first time, fully optimized for touch controls.

“Urban Myth Dissolution Center was designed from the ground up to be an experience anyone can enjoy, regardless of their gaming background,” said John Davis, PR Manager. “Bringing it to mobile means players can investigate cursed mysteries wherever they are — during a commute, a lunch break, or at home before bed.”

Mobile-Exclusive Features

Full touch optimization. The complete original game — including all graphics, scenario content, and gameplay — has been faithfully ported and fully optimized for touchscreen play.

Customizable frame designs. A mobile-exclusive “Frame” feature lets players choose from four unique border designs — including the “Toshikai-kun” pattern — displayed in the non-playable screen area during gameplay.

Note: Graphic, scenario, and gameplay content are identical to the original version. The above features are exclusive to the iOS/Android release.
