It is a pretty good horror game. I always yellowed when the screamers appeared. And I think that it's the main criteria of quality of horror games. You will enjoy it, but it's a short game.

I bought this game not expecting it would be any good, got it very cheap in a sale. Very minimum interface, just click 3 or so objects on the screen in the right order to get a so called jump scare such as a shadow popping out at you and moving across the screen or a severed head falling out of a tree. Wow woopdee do not scary or interesting. This game is slightly scary, sometimes it will cause me to jump but most of the time not. I think I've been desensitised, hardly anything scares or repulses me anymore. The game description classes it as very creepy, I would not class it as very creepy. Has no story or plot to follow. It says Urban stories but Iam not sure what they are, you just have some ghosts or such jump out at you and get some newspaper clipping covered in blood saying pregnant woman found butchered, killer unknown, it does not go into any story in detail. And there is no verbal narration at all. Another reviewer sumarised it perfectly all this game is "click on objects, wait for thing"

No story or plot. The jump scares were terrible. Not worth the 19 cents I spent as a joke to buy this. Go buy some DLC or something instead of this game.

Unfortunately, it's one flaw - a lack of any real story - is a major one. On the Pros, it looks nice, simple even. Good ambience. And things do make you jump (as much because they just appear). But the link between chapters is so tenuous and light that there is no story or journey at all, merely a collection of images. It's nice to see games like this, but they need to be a journey (like Year Walk), a story (like Midnight Mysteries) or far more interactive (like The Path). This one alas gets 7/10 for nice effect but 2/10 for story, thus 5/10 overall. I recommend to point-and-click fans if you can get it for cheap, it's quite quick to complete, an hour or two. It passes the time nicely enough and enjoy (somewhat) a genre that we don't see too often.

SummaryUrban myths are stories that may or may not have been believed to be true. Unlike most, some are actually based on real events. One of them, takes place in a haunted forest, near a cemetery, on the borders of a city, near you.
