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

The Methods series of crime thriller visual novels continues with its fourth installment, upping the stakes as we approach the grand finale. Available now on iOS and Android, Methods 4 delivers another quirky chapter in this captivating mystery.

Solving crimes requires sharp minds and seasoned 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 hope for the best! (Completely unrelated, but Methods 4 is out now!)

This fourth installment 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-dollar prize awaits the winners, while the losers face the same reward – a hefty sum and parole, regardless of their crimes.

Methods 4 deepens the conflict with the masterminds behind this unusual game. You'll need keen deductive skills, carefully examining crime scenes and answering questions to uncover the methods and motives.

A Unique Release Strategy: The Methods series employs an unconventional release strategy, splitting a single game into multiple parts. However, with each part priced 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 reaching fever pitch.

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, marking a significant departure from their previous work.
