Methods: Complete Edition brings the breezy detective visual novel together in one release, out now

• Methods: Complete Edition brings together all 100 chapters plus DLC of the series
• Experience a game of cat-and-mouse between a legion of detectives and criminals
• Use a simple multiple-choice quiz to figure out whodunnit, howdunnit, and why

Over the past few months, we've eagerly covered the release of each new episode in the Methods series. This quirky detective-themed visual novel is now collected together in one exciting compilation, so those of you looking to play it from start to finish can jump in on iOS (and soon on Android) with Methods: Complete Edition.

Collecting together all 100 chapters of the Methods series (plus DLC), you'll be able to experience the entire story in one go. Pitting 100 detectives against 100 master criminals, the ultimate prize is on the line, with $1 million for the detectives and an unconditional pardon for the criminals. The stakes have never been higher, and neither has the concentration of misanthropes been denser.

I've often compared Methods to Danganronpa, and for good reason. Its distinctive 'ugly cute' art style and presentation are evocative of that cult hit series, but Methods is distinctly tied to a more Western style of humour and presentation that makes it a bit more approachable for a general audience.

Madness in the methods

The gameplay of Methods is equally approachable. You simply need to observe the evidence that you're given, and from there make your choice in a quiz over what you believe happened and how. It's all relatively simple, but effective in letting you draw your own conclusions.

Part of the appeal is also the variety of detectives that you'll encounter. And with each of the 100 chapters focusing on a new individual, you'll have the chance to discover them, their quirks, and their capabilities, in turn. So if you've been hesitant about jumping into the Methods series, maybe now's the time to take the plunge?

Meanwhile, if you're hungry for more stories after completing Methods, why not dive into another one? Funnily enough, Mutazione is another point-and-click experience that's just hit mobile. So why not check in with our App Army and see what they thought about it?
