In the last few stages of the Canadian detective competition, Detective Larika Downs is determined to find out who could be running such a questionable contest. Joining her are Detectives Tads, Anadyne, Struess, and Viu. By working together, will they find out the truth?
Methods: The Canada Files is a prequel visual novel to Methods: The Detective Competition. It features a brand new story, a new cast of eccentric characters, and a new style of mystery-solving gameplay designed to present more of a challenge. Solve puzzles and present evidence to refute faulty theories. Choose which of your teammate's methods to use to tackle the problem at hand.
Playing Methods: The Detective Competition first is highly recommended, but not required to understand the story.
- Solve crimes with five unique methods
- Refute faulty theories with evidence
- Chinese translation
- Original soundtrack
- Interviews, bios, gallery, music room, and other extra content
Time to reset the progress graph.
With the Hangouts finally released, this week I am starting production on File 02. As you can tell from File 01, there was a ton of new UI that I had to design and implement. With File 02, I don't need to design new UI, which will be a huge help in speeding up development time.
What you may not know about Methods is that I really completed all the extras fairly late into production, and I'm taking the same approach this time. With each File's release, I will gradually add more extras to the game, and my main focus is getting the actual chapter content done.
As I previously teased, File 02 takes place in Montreal! This file is a bit more lighthearted and should be fun to work on. I have mapped out an outline for the mystery already it was actually the first mystery I worked on since I thought it would be the hardest to come up with.
My task now is to begin writing!
Until next time!
LockedOn.
