this game was in every jap developer's GOTY list last year and it's absurdly mediocre.No gameplay whatsoever and the mysteries are the most predictable trash ever conceived.
>>743409310>No gameplay whatsoeverYou suck
>>743409357how can I suck if there's NO FAIL STATE, anon?You just click through dialogue and twitter menus.
>>743409486The fail state is ur life
>>743409310Have to say I totally agree with you anon. I genuinely can't understand how this game got near universal praise from jap creatorsA part of me wonders if the EN translation is just poor or something cause I feel like I must be missing something. For whatever reason I feel like these kinds of "social media BAD" stories are seen as way more innovative over there. Maybe they just don't see these kinds of stories that often or something.
>>743409310>unique art style = good gameIndiemindslop virus
Japs have very bad taste which is surprising given how good their games are compared to the rest of the world
>>743409310Filtered
>>743411603One would think people would have learned it by this point. Then again, the consumer pool is constantly refreshed since kids grow up and replace the ones who wisened up.
>>743413998this, they go nuts about games based on anime/manga license even if they're dogshit
>>743409310They're right, it's pure kino.
>this game was in every jap developer's GOTY list last yearLies.Japanese mystery GOTY last year was manosabahttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3101040/Magical_Girl_Witch_Trials/
>>743409310Yeah, it's a completely linear visual novel with fake gameplay. Many such cases.The music is kino, however.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qOkVvKOIbYI also liked the story.
>>743417927He probably meant the "9 games I want to spread" that was made by a Jap who actually wanted to spread Urban Myth.https://9games.pages.dev/rankingUrban Myth was placed "2nd".
>>743419526It was also in the actual Japan Game Awards: https://awards.cesa.or.jp/2025/en/year/prize/https://awards.cesa.or.jp/2025/en/year/prize/06.html
>>743419620>Grand award winner>Half of that excellence list>Special award for the fucking playstation storeJap taste is abhorrent.
Every book store in Japan shills the novelization of this game. As for the game I stopped playing it like an hour in, it's so boring
>>743420051I looked into it a while ago and there seem to be multiple different novelizations of the game itself? Plus a manga adaptation and original novels with newly-made cases. I'm sure it will get an anime adaptation too, it came in first in AnimeJapan's poll for "indie games we want to see adapted into anime" and fifth in Dengeki Online's.
>>743409310you guys were the ones talking trash about me saying the same shit about the retarded games you guys were playing and calling games when there was zero failure state, sucks to suck huh? even Rance is more of a game than any of these no-games.
>>743420232its basically Japanese equivalent to Deltarune at this point, astroturfed and shilled promo campaign for a thing that shouldn't exist in the industry it is in, much like Mixtape. people should look into the creators.
>>743420417The game itself is genuinely popular, it had sold over 300k copies a bit after launch. Derivative print media like books are heavily pushed by the publisher because it's Shueisha, but they wouldn't be doing it if they didn't sell. Almost none of the other games they publish and with considerably lower sales have got this treatment. They probably see it as their flagship IP.
>>743420548I don't care if it sells or is popular, it just doesn't belong in the industry and is some kind of a weird plant.
>>743420417I tried the demo on Steam purely based on the visuals and was bored out of my mind before I even finished it, I doubt there's a greater conspiracy here. It has 10/10 presentation but a cliche story and non-existent gameplay that somehow still needs 30 minutes of tutorial. I suspect the ones who will like this game are plebs who don't play games and game designers who are interested in all the things it executes extremely well.
>>743420716The urban myth of the anon who rejects things he doesn't like
>>743420795>I doubt there's a greater conspiracy here. It has 10/10 presentation but a cliche story and non-existent gameplay that somehowThat's how I felt with Paranormasight. Honestly if those games were voiced by high quality seiyuus I would've tolerated them enough to finish them.
>>743420795only thing it executes well is the art direction, otherwise it lacks any substance for any "gamer." its literally theatre kid, japan edition release.
Japan's video game industry is actually a lot more close knit than most people may realize. Most designers / producers / directors especially talk with each other from other companies. This has lead to the industry becoming a sort of nepotistic circle jerk. That's why trash gets promoted hard there all the time.
>>743420984Oh so it's like indie games
>>743420795>I suspect the ones who will like this game are plebs who don't play games and game designers who are interested in all the things it executes extremely well.As opposed to the completely interesting and creative expedition 33 in the west? Lmao.
>>743421034It is but thanks to the auteur culture in Japan the indies mingle with the AA and AAA's as well.
>>743421124>in the west.just bugman proxy using french cunts and a nepobaby to shill their propaganda under a different guise.
>>743421124I haven't tried that so I wouldn't know but how about instead of getting defensive and using whataboutism you try to explain what you found interesting about the gameplay in the game the thread is actually about and prove me wrong?
>>743413998After seeing how horrid all the most popular anime since late 2010s to now I now understand why people say japs have bad taste
>>743421172>buzzwords>>743421224I don't care about your evaluation of a non-game, but the scenario people are painting as if nips aren't supposed to have nornalfags or that an ""indie"" game being pushed out by suits being a Japan-only thing is beyond retarded considering Frogpedition exists, was even more polarized in the west and will forever be less niche than any random nip vn
>>743421224Exp 33 is a simplistic parry slop with Persona 5 engine copy-cat system. (firearms, magic and melee.) All sorts of similar animations and camera framing as in Persona 5, UE5 asset slop, lmao.
>>743421172Now that the Chinese market has matured, Japan probably won't need to worry about Western markets anymore. After all, it means Japan won't have to churn out crap games just to cater to the pathetic development capabilities of the West—all while fretting over antitrust laws.
>>743421571Japan never had to concern itself with the western market, its China that has always had its own market on the backfoot and even further now because the government is literally making rules about playtime and preventing certain types of gaming and they are so autistic about it they can't control their own decision making process so they outsource that to the government. Chinese were supposed to be smart and intelligent? I suppose their IQ stops at being able to calculate like a calculator.
hmmm...is it woke?
>>743421412>being a Japan-only thingNobody said that, it's just you taking personal offense because of your own insecurities. If you want to discuss Expedition 33 I suggest you go do it in a thread dedicated to that game.>>743421423Nobody asked, also see above.
>>743421609Here is your proud gameyour game suck so much that has to suck it up LGBT capitalsfag
>>743421780>>743421412shut the fuck up chinese industry shill and die off bastard. you will never damage control any of your propaganda.
>>743409310He only now discovers that nip fuckers have absolutely shittiest taste in games and only prefer mindless casual slop with close to no gameplay. Why do you think snitch 2 is selling so well there and they can't stop being addicted to gacha? Nation of subhuman zombies with 1% of thinking people
>>743421813>strawman argument, implying I play woke western games.you are the one playing Baldur's Gate 3 and contributing to the faggotry with WoW and other games for some reason and cry when others expose your propaganda.
>>743409310I'm not the only one who thought her true form was sex right?
>>743417927Of course they like yuri guru slop. Can we nuke them few more times?
>>743421827Take your meds, take an english class, get off the internet, you're too dumb to be here.
>>743421909What's a game you like? Gonna go add the tags that trigger you to it because literally anyone can add whatever fucking tags they want to a game retard.
>>743421767Nah.
>>743421780I asked kys
>>743409310My friend streamed this game for me and she voiced all the characters. It was pretty comfy. But yeah the mysteries were kinda meh.
>>743421969I like games with gameplay. Palworld is Japanese game too and has actual gameplay.
>>743421780>Nobody said thatctrl + f japan and come back to me again.>personal offenseWhat personal offense? You did a irrelevant evaluation of a non-game that I didn't care to delve in but highlighted a profile present everywhere in the modern vidya eccosystem which is why I find it funny people haven't realized normalfags are cancer everywhere in the industry regardless of nationality.>If you want to discuss ExpeditionIf I feel like discussion Expedition I'll talk about, for now I'm pointing out that it isn't shocking that a global trend happens on a smaller scale on a place that shares a physical space with us. And no you will never be a Janny
>>743421034>>743420984>he says, as he plays the latest western AAAslop, complete with ugly black women and mandatory gay sex
>>743420984Yeah in China it’s not like that because you can’t trust anyone there so the games end up being really good
>>743422059That's fine anon, I like palworld too. It sounds like this game really isn't meant for you though.
>>743421995You're incoherent and off-topic. Could you stick to actually discussing the game instead of rage-babbling about what I assume is your insecurities about national identity?>>743422017Nope, feel free to prove me wrong by actually showing where you asked. Otherwise, my previous suggestion still stands.
I bet the reptilians are behind this thread.
>>743422071>ctrl + f japan and come back to me again.Ok, I did. There's one schizo calling the game an industry plant and then 4 people explaining how that isn't the case before you decided to bring up Expedition 33 out of nowhere.>You did a irrelevant evaluation of a non-gameThe game the thread is about. Nobody is arguing against you, just saying it isn't pertinent.>If I feel like discussion Expedition I'll talk aboutHas anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
>>743420913>its literally theatre kid, japan edition release.That explains all the sovl.
>Yellow menace>Shallow normalniggers who care only about the visuals/presentationNothing new
>>743422446uh oh! melty!
>>743422481back to sharty you kikespawn loser filth, go back to talking with your AI "friends" because nobody wants to talk with you.
Boy, I can't wait for Japanese internet urban myths to be popularized by Persona 6 so that stuff like the kotoribako and the elevator to the other side become ultra normalfag shit.
>>743422238I'm not Chinese though, if you want to rage about nationalities may I suggest >>>/pol/you're shitting up the board with your impotent diatribes and unlike you I actually like video games.>>743422446I've been on 4chan since 2005, which I suspect is before you were even a tadpole in your dads wrinky nutsack. Sit down, kid.
>>743422551I don't care you are a sharty negroid and deserve to be put down, you are the one bringing up shit nobody wants here and trying to dictate what people should listen to: you are subhuman, nothing you say matters just like how your life means nothing, just rope already faggot. Q&A is banned from 4chan: go fuck off.
>>743409310Judging by the title it probably reminds them of Trick, a Japanese dorama, which is why they rate it so highly
>>743422585Wrong again, kid. Hey, what did you think of this game called Urban Myth Dissolution Center?
>>743422590movie games aren't games, they are just movies.
>>743422515>>743422585Take your meds election tourist.
>>743419620>>743419806Understand what that is. It's CESA.>>743420051...and did you note who the publisher is?
>>743422524Even Kisaragi station is still not mainstream despite the movie and showing up in some anime. Heck, even Hanako and split mouthed woman are still unknown by most westerners.
>>743422707split mouth woman is the most commonly known by anyone into urban legends, red mantle is second most, try again. (Indians aren't western btw, so don't include them in any statistics based on western perspective.)
>this thread
>>743422707Funny coincidence that UMDC and No Sleep for Kaname Date came out so close together and were both about many of the same myths. Reptilians, the Great Reset, the kotoribako, the paranormal elevator, doppelganger, Kisaragi Station etc. I've enjoyed all that dumb crap since reading Otherside Picnic.
>>743409310I got bamboozled too. My fault honestly
>>743422863its funny how all these industry shilled games that have "huge fanbases" but nobody talks about them have the most defenders on 4chan for some reason trying to "hype them up." as if its a huge paid shill/troll campaign every single time.
this is made by japs? that game was so bad I thought it's some westoid weaboo made it, wow.Dialogue was worse than your average isekai show, and as you've already mentioned gameplay is rudimentary.quite literallyBut even if gameplay was ok, main character is so repulsive so i think i'd drop it anyway
>>743422985Did you mean to post this in a gta thread or something?
>>743423031>noo don't talk about our shill campaign, talk about that shill campaign instead!you are being too obvious there shekelstein.
>>743422985Is this about undertale/deltarune/e33
Where can I pirate it
>>743423107The usual places I imagine.
>>743423105yep, add in black myth wukong and palworld, you guys should know they are running multiple accounts with AI in China to make it seem like something is being played, just go find the clip for the WoW botfarm.
>>743423105all of those games have had a ton of discussion heredeltarune threads within the past couple of weeks have been the fastest moving threads on the entire site
>>743423148I dont see it on F95
>>743423217It's not an H-game anon, nor even remotely lewd.
>>743423190deltatroon fanbase is real but annoying and sometimes feels astroturfed regarding the engagement, why discuss that normalfaggot series on /v/? why not discord especially when the community is hostile towards "bad behavior"? (they think you should be killed for playing genocide route), like what?
>>743423225RIP Jasmine, you'll always be best girl
japanese people like when something "sounds deep" and looks "abstract"they are simple minded midwits
>>743423239it's a video game and people like to talk about video games on /v/ also, you are making things up in your head about people you have never interacted withwhy would you think the people talking about deltarune here would be any different from the people talking about any other game? you're repsonding to one right nowand yes there are a lot of schizos out there, and unfortunately there aren't a lot of places aside from this to avoid themlook at this fucking shit
>>743423225Fitgirl doesnt have it either
>>743409627kek gottem
>>743423327Unfortunately as the person you are responding to demonstrates, you can't avoid schizos even here.
Japs fucking LOVE detroit become human and its considered a masterpiece over there, same with every bethsoft game INCLUDING fallout 76, despite the fact that internet historians video on that game got an entire japanese subtitling on nnd.Ghost of Tsushima is also widely considered a masterpiece and its just a very generic open world pseudo rpg with some HORRENDOUS battle animations.
>>743423327don't you remember that live streamer who had to quit streaming and going to cons because some of the deltatroon idiots wanted them dead? I don't care what their public policy states, but what their public actions look like in practice. I could say I'm the most peace loving individual who would never harm a fly but kill a fly the moment it lands on me.
>>743423327I thought you guys were half joking when you talked about mentally ill redditors
>>743416287anime/manga license games don't sell particularly well at all. You don't have any idea what you're talking about huh
>>743423428how do you know? you dont know how to read japanese
>>743409310people who make games don't have any time to play games, so quick experiences like this are very accessible and something they can bring up to pretend they're keeping up with what's happening in the medium
I bought this but refunded it on release day out of principle because they did the gay retarded "you are not allowed to post content from beyond chapter X on youtube or social media or else we will flag you"Why are japs like this?
>>743421903Definitely not the only one.
>>743423442why would I? I don't pay attention to streamers, I play the game and then talk about things in the game
>>743423331I cant find it on 1337 either, fuck you mean regular sites?
>>743423580spoilers are rude they have manners you dont
>>743423610I'd rather not associate with people that take it too seriously regarding a simple RPG-Maker tier slop when it comes to what's allowed in a game or fandom. "Noo, you can't ship MC with Sans, that's promoting pedophilia!", when Sans is literally just a look-alike to Shadman reference, there's many references in the game that are to things these zoomers would have issues with, its a hypocritical retarded shit all over. I don't even play/watch that shit and get the references. even Asmongold is one of the characters as a reference point.
>>743423580This is one of those games where the ending is a massive twist that recontextualizes everything, they are right not wanting people to get spoiled by accident.
>>743421316>muh popularThere's your problem, retard.
>>743423704it's a video game and I'm not associating with those kinds of people, that's why I only talk about Deltarune on /v/.you seem extremely concerned with what other people on the fringes are doing and I don't get it
>>743423458Reddit is basically the perfect forumula for cultivating freaks. The combination of heavy handed and stupendously biased moderation, the capability of forming communities around extreme niches, and the pavlovian conditioning of upvotes/downvotes basically oneshots a normalfag's psycheYou either leave Reddit or you become a Redditor. There is no option C.
>>743423513maybe not so much nowadays but if the famicom/sufami days are anything to go by, most of the best remembered games are shitty anime licences (bandai/tose were usually the worst offenders who got away with it) that are usually god awfulhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja_Hattori-kun_%28video_game%29
>>743423148For example?
>>743423637Where the fuck can I actually pirate the game?
>>743423327It is always>defer to the mentally ill or they will kill themselvesIt's really impressive how effectively the trans community has held the entire western world in a hostage situation involving only themselves.
>>743409310True. It looks good and has great atmosphere/presentation but it was done better by the likes of Ace attorney etc. Urban Myth Dissolution Center is like Schrodinger's Call and Manosaba. Low stake plots, predictable writing but since they have good visuals and budget they resonate with more people. The japanese lost their teeth when it comes to mysteryge, other than Kodaka. Even indie western productions make less crazy stories (Detective Instinct, Farewell My Beloved or Paper Perjury)Try Paranormasight, Spirit Hunter, Buried Stars, Of The Devil, Trials of Innocence, or even the first chapter of Kumitantei. That said Paranormasight quickly turns comfy too if I remember correctly.
>>743425974Help
>>743425974It's even on piratebay, how can you not find it
>>743428269I mean pirate it safely budMy last puter got raped cause of pirated games
>>743428303Sounds like a skill issue.
>>743431485Just asking, dude.
>>743434034Sorry bwo, I legitimately don't know. I boughted it back on release.
>>743426974Paranormasight's first hour was good but then the quality drops off hard. Ironically it highly applies to what you said, it has great atmosphere/presentation but it was done better by other games anyway.>>743434034Use rutracker, nigger.
>>743426974>Of The DevilI swear the artstyle looks better in game
>>743423637Bwo?
