Detective Duel: Quirky Brain Battle Debuts on Mobile

Methods 4: The Best Detective – A Thrilling Conclusion to the Series

The Methods series of crime thriller visual novels continues with its fourth installment, upping the stakes as we approach the finale. Available now on iOS and Android, Methods 4 delivers another dose of quirky crime-solving fun.

Solving crimes requires sharp minds and experienced 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! (Unrelated, but Methods 4 is out now!)

This fourth chapter throws you back into the intense competition of 100 detectives battling it out against the world's most cunning criminals. A million-dollar prize awaits the winners, while the losers face the same reward for the criminals – a cool million and parole, regardless of their crimes.

Methods 4 further develops the story, pitting you against the masterminds behind this bizarre game. Use your deductive skills to analyze crime scenes, answer questions, and uncover the 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 more part to go, the tension is undeniably building.

The game features 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 – quite a shift from bullet-hell action!
