New Mobile Game Brings Detective Thriller to Life

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

The acclaimed 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 offers another dose of quirky crime-solving fun.

Solving crimes requires sharp minds and experienced professionals – criminologists, forensic pathologists, and analysts employing deductive reasoning to uncover the who, when, and why. Or, you could gather 100 eccentric detectives in one building and see what happens! (Completely unrelated, but Methods 4 is out now!)

This fourth chapter throws you back into the high-stakes competition of 100 detectives battling it out to solve fiendish crimes. A million dollars awaits the winners; the losers face the same reward for the criminals, plus parole regardless of their offenses.

Methods 4 deepens the conflict with the game's masters, demanding you 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, splitting a single game into multiple parts. However, each part's affordable $0.99 price point makes it easy to jump in without commitment. With just one more part remaining, the tension is reaching a fever pitch.

Bizarre Art Style and Gameplay: The game boasts a distinctive art style and gameplay reminiscent of crime thriller visual novels like Danganronpa. Interestingly, the mobile game's developer is also behind titles like Brotato, showcasing a surprising shift in genre.
