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).

Methods Halloween 2021!

I can't believe it's been a whole year since my last Methods Halloween post. Time seems to just fly by. I continue my work on Catalyst Wake, but don't think I've forgotten about Methods!

Here are three special illustrations. This time I decided to go in a different direction. Instead of wearing costumes, the characters have been transformed into various Halloween monsters. Enjoy!

Detective Mackle as a Metaphor for Modern Society

In other news, exciting things are coming for Methods in the future. I've decided to make porting the game a higher priority in 2022. I hope this will help bring the game to a wider audience!

I'm also working on the outlines for the next several extra chapters, which will also probably be released sometime in 2022.

Until next time,

LockedOn.
