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

Methods 4: The Best Detective – The Thrilling Conclusion Nears!

The Methods series of crime thriller visual novels continues with its fourth installment, raising the stakes as the story races towards its climax. Available now on iOS and Android, Methods 4 delivers another dose of quirky crime-solving fun.

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 see what happens! (Completely unrelated, but Methods 4 is out now!)

This fourth chapter plunges you deeper into the competition of a lifetime, pitting 100 detectives against the world's most cunning criminals. A million-dollar prize awaits the victor, while defeat grants the criminals the same sum and parole, regardless of their crimes.

Methods 4 further develops the conflict with the game's mysterious architects. You'll use deductive reasoning, analyzing crime scenes and answering questions to uncover methods and motives.

A Unique Release Strategy: The Methods series employs an unusual 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 part remaining, the tension is undeniably building.

Methods boasts a distinctive art style and gameplay reminiscent of crime thriller visual novels like Danganronpa. Interestingly, it comes from the same studio behind titles like Brotato, showcasing a significant departure in genre.
