Detective Brains Clash in 'Methods 4' Mobile Release

Methods 4: The Best Detective – A Quirky Crime Thriller Visual Novel

The thrilling Methods series continues with its fourth installment, "Methods 4: The Best Detective," now available on iOS and Android. This chapter ratchets up the tension as the story races towards its climax.

Solving crimes requires brilliant minds and seasoned professionals – criminologists, forensic pathologists, and analysts employing deductive reasoning to unravel the who, when, and why. But you could also gather 100 eccentric individuals in one building and see what happens… unrelated, but Methods 4 is out now!

This visual novel follows the saga of 100 detectives locked in a high-stakes competition. They must solve crimes committed by some of the world's most cunning criminals. Victory means a million-dollar prize for the detectives; defeat grants the same sum to the criminals, along with parole regardless of their crimes.

Methods 4 plunges you deeper into the bizarre game, challenging you to use deductive reasoning, analyze crime scenes, and answer questions to uncover methods and motives.

A Unique Release Strategy: The Methods series employs an unusual release strategy, dividing 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 part remaining, the stakes are undeniably higher.

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 surprising shift in genre.
