Methods 4: The Best Detective continues the thrilling Methods series of crime thriller visual novels. This installment raises the stakes as we approach the climactic conclusion. Enjoy the fourth part of this quirky crime thriller, available now on iOS and Android.

Solving crimes requires the sharpest minds – experienced 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… but that’s a story for another time. Methods 4 is out now!

This fourth installment in the Methods series continues the saga of one hundred detectives locked in a high-stakes competition. You must solve crimes committed by the world's most cunning criminals. Victory earns the detectives a million dollars; defeat grants the same prize to the criminals, along with parole regardless of their crimes.

Part four deepens the conflict with the masters of this bizarre game. You’ll use deductive reasoning, meticulously examining crime scenes and answering crucial questions to determine the method and motive.

Methods employs an unusual release strategy, splitting a single game into multiple parts. However, each part is affordably priced at just $0.99, making it easy to try the series without significant commitment. With only one part remaining, the tension is undeniably escalating.

The game boasts a unique art style and gameplay reminiscent of crime-thriller visual novels like Danganronpa. Interestingly, Methods comes to mobile from the same studio behind titles like Brotato, showcasing a surprising shift in genre.
