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 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 brilliant minds – experienced 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 (completely unrelated, but Methods 4 is out now!).

This fourth chapter throws you back into the intense competition of 100 detectives vying for a million-dollar prize. Outsmart the world's most cunning criminals, or watch them walk free with the same reward and a parole pardon, regardless of their crimes.

Methods 4 deepens the conflict with the masterminds behind this unusual game. Use your deductive skills to examine crime scenes, answer crucial questions, and uncover the methods and motives of the perpetrators.

A Unique Release Strategy: The Methods series employs 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.

A Distinctive Style: Methods boasts a unique art style and gameplay reminiscent of crime thriller visual novels like Danganronpa. Interestingly, the game comes from the same studio behind titles like Brotato, marking a significant departure in genre.
