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).

17 months ago, I announced a mobile version of Methods as part of the Methods Two Year Anniversary. Unfortunately, due to limitations with Ren'Py, I was unable to get it working on iOS and Android, and so I had to put the project aside.
But now I am very happy to announce that Erabit's hardworking porting team have been working hard on fixing those issues in order to bring Methods to you on mobile devices!
My eternal gratitude goes to them for completing such intense work in such a short time, and grappling with my less-than-organized code to do so! It feels like a miracle has occurred, and I can't thank them enough.
Methods: The Detective Competition is expected to be available for mobile pre-registration on October 25 and mainland China in November!
It will be split into 5 separate games, launched on App Store, Google Play and Tap.io.
