Methods 4: The Best Detective—A Quirky Crime Thriller Visual Novel

The Methods series of crime thriller visual novels continues with its fourth installment, raising the stakes as the story races towards its conclusion. Available now on iOS and Android, this latest chapter plunges you back into the high-octane world of 100 detectives vying for a million-dollar prize.

Solving crimes requires sharp minds and experienced professionals – criminologists, forensic pathologists, and analysts employing deductive reasoning to unravel the who, when, and why. Methods 4 offers a unique twist on this, challenging you to outwit the planet's most cunning criminals. Success means a million-dollar reward for the detectives; failure grants the same to the criminals, along with parole regardless of their crimes.

This fourth part deepens the conflict with the masterminds behind this bizarre competition. Players must utilize deductive reasoning, meticulously examine crime scenes, and answer crucial questions to determine the criminals' methods and motives.

The Methods series employs an unconventional release strategy, dividing the complete story into multiple parts. However, each part's affordable $0.99 price point makes it easy to jump in and experience this unique series risk-free. With only one more part remaining, the tension is reaching a fever pitch.

Featuring a distinctive art style and gameplay reminiscent of visual novels like Danganronpa, Methods is a surprising departure for the studio behind games like Brotato.
