Methods 4: The Best Detective continues the quirky battle of the brains, out now on iOS and Android

Methods 4: The Best Detective - A Thrilling Conclusion to the Series

The Methods series of crime thriller visual novels continues with its fourth installment, raising the stakes as we approach the climax. Now available on iOS and Android, this quirky crime thriller offers another compelling chapter.

Solving crimes requires sharp minds and experienced professionals – criminologists, forensic pathologists, and analysts employing deductive reasoning to unravel the who, when, and why. Or, you could gather 100 eccentric individuals in one building and hope for the best. (Unrelated, but Methods 4 is out now!)

This fourth part throws you back into the intense competition of 100 detectives battling it out to solve crimes committed by the world's most cunning criminals. A million-dollar prize awaits the winners, while the losers face the same reward for the criminals – a million dollars and parole, regardless of their crimes.

Methods 4 deepens the conflict with the masterminds behind this unusual game. Players must utilize deductive reasoning, carefully examining crime scenes and answering crucial questions to uncover the methods and motives.

A Unique Release Strategy: The Methods series follows an unconventional release strategy, dividing a single game into multiple parts. However, with each part priced affordably at just $0.99, it's a compelling approach, allowing players to sample the series risk-free. With only one more part remaining, the tension is undeniably escalating.

The game boasts a distinctive art style and gameplay mechanics reminiscent of crime thriller visual novels like Danganronpa. Interestingly, it's developed by the same studio behind titles like Brotato, showcasing a significant shift in genre.
