One hundred detectives compete against each other in a mysterious competition, solving crimes created by the world's smartest criminals.
The detective who wins receives one million dollars and the opportunity of a lifetime. If a criminal wins, however, they will also receive a million dollars... and parole, no matter the severity of their crime.
Methods is a visual novel with simple crime investigation gameplay where you examine evidence and answer multiple-choice questions about the solution.
It includes 100 chapters totaling 139K words, taking approximately 10 hours to play through (though that varies greatly depending on your reading speed).
