Methods 4: The Best Detective — The thrilling conclusion nears!
The acclaimed 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, this quirky crime thriller delivers another captivating chapter.
Solving crimes requires brilliant minds – experienced criminologists, forensic pathologists, and analysts employing deductive reasoning to unravel the who, when, and why. But you could also gather 100 eccentric detectives in one building and see what happens! (Okay, that's 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 dollars awaits the winner; the losers face the same reward for the criminals – a million dollars and parole, regardless of their crimes.
Further confrontations with the masterminds behind this bizarre game await. Utilize your deductive reasoning skills, meticulously examine crime scenes, and answer crucial questions to pinpoint the method and motive.
A Unique Release Strategy: Methods 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 more part remaining, the tension is undeniably escalating.
The game 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 shift in genre from bullet-hell mayhem to this intriguing detective narrative.
