Methods 4: The Best Detective continues the quirky battle of the brains, out now on iOS and Android

• 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.

Just one more thing-

Methods follows the unusual release strategy of splitting a single release into multiple parts. Although with each being very reasonably priced at only $0.99, it’s hard to argue with the approach, since it means you can give this series a go with no strings attached. And with only one more part to go, things are definitely heating up.

Offering a rather bizarre art style and gameplay seemingly influenced by crime-thriller visual novels like Danganronpa, Methods also comes to us on mobile from the same studio behind titles like Brotato. Quite the departure to go from bullet heaven to this, eh?
