Brilliant Detectives and Cunning Criminals Are Back in Methods 4: The Best Detective

Earabit Studios presents the fourth installment in the Methods series: Methods 4: The Best Detective. Following Detective Competition, Secrets and Death, and The Invisible Man, this visual novel continues the thrilling crime-solving adventure.

The Premise:

One hundred detectives compete in a mysterious contest, solving crimes orchestrated by cunning criminals. The grand prize? A million dollars and a life-altering opportunity. However, a criminal who wins also receives a million dollars and parole, regardless of their criminal history. The Best Detective covers Chapters 61-85 of the story.

Initially a Steam success, the Methods: Detective Competition storyline has been divided into five parts for mobile release, with one final chapter remaining. Here's a sneak peek at Methods 4: The Best Detective:

Where the Story Continues:

Detectives Ashdown and Woes successfully completed Stage Four in The Invisible Man, but their victory presents new challenges for the secretive Gamemasters. Haney works to expose their scheme, Catscratcher wreaks havoc, and the even more complex Stage Five approaches.

Gameplay remains consistent with previous installments: investigate crime scenes, analyze evidence, and answer multiple-choice questions to solve cases. Expect over 25 interactive crime scenes, a compelling narrative, and the signature Methods art style.
