Methods 4: The Best Detective continues the Methods series of crime thriller visual novels
This part ups the ante as we head towards the conclusion
Enjoy the fourth part of this quirky crime thriller, out now on iOS and Android
When it comes to solving crimes it takes the finest minds imaginable, the most experienced of criminologists, forensic pathologists and analysts imaginable must apply deductive reasoning to figure out whodunnit, whendunnit, and whydunnit. Or you can just collect 100 weirdos in the same building and hope for the best; unrelated, but Methods 4 is out now!
The fourth instalment in the Methods series of visual novels, it continues the tale of one hundred detectives in the competition of a lifetime. You have to solve crimes perpetrated by the most fiendish criminals on the planet. Win, and the detectives receive a million dollars, lose and the criminals get the same; alongside parole no matter their crime.
Part four of the Methods series continues the story, bringing you into further conflict with the masters of this bizarre game. You'll need to continue to utilise simple deductive reasoning, examining crime scenes and answering questions to determine the method and motive.
Methods employs an unconventional release strategy, dividing a single release into multiple parts. Although each part is affordably priced at only $0.99, this approach is hard to criticize, as it allows players to sample the series risk-free. And with only one more part to go, the tension is certainly rising.
Boasting a unique art style and gameplay seemingly inspired by crime-thriller visual novels such as Danganronpa, Methods also arrives on mobile from the same developer behind titles like Brotato. Quite a shift from bullet hell to this, isn't it?
