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 Visual Novel Conclusion

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 quirky crime thriller offers another compelling chapter in the ongoing saga.

Solving crimes requires brilliant minds and experienced professionals – criminologists, forensic pathologists, and analysts employing deductive reasoning to unravel the "who," "when," and "why." Methods 4, however, throws 100 eccentric detectives into the mix, creating a unique and unpredictable competition.

This fourth part plunges players deeper into the conflict with the masterminds behind this bizarre game. Players must utilize deductive reasoning, meticulously examining crime scenes and answering crucial questions to uncover the methods and motives of fiendish criminals. The prize? A million dollars for the winning detectives; failure means the criminals receive the same, along with parole regardless of their crimes.

A Unique Release Strategy:

Methods employs an unusual release strategy, dividing a single game into multiple parts. However, each part's affordable $0.99 price point makes this approach surprisingly palatable, allowing players to sample the series risk-free. With just one more part remaining, the tension is undeniably escalating.

A Quirky Blend:

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