In a high-stakes contest, a hundred detectives are pitted against each other to solve intricately designed crimes orchestrated by some of the world's most cunning criminals. The prize? A staggering million dollars and a life-altering opportunity for the winning detective. However, if a criminal manages to outsmart the detectives and win, they not only secure the million-dollar prize but also earn parole, regardless of their criminal history. Methods 4: The Best Detective covers Chapters 61-85 of this gripping narrative.

Already a massive hit on Steam, the Methods series has been adapted into five parts for mobile devices. This means there's still one more part to look forward to.
