About

The first game in the Methods series.
One hundred detectives compete against each other in a mysterious competition, solving mysteries created by criminal masterminds.
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).

角色刻画很棒的推理游戏,强推!
特别对我电波的作品!角色塑造都很有特点,通关后劲非常大,值得一夸的是文案简练不繁琐看的很舒服,期待续作澳大利亚!
好玩
玩了前传再来玩这个。 不得不说emmmmm某个侦探是真的菜啊。 谜题确实都还可以,但是最终这人要搞什么事情啊,我现在只想知道这个,后续能不能不要再出相同的比赛了,只会越出越没有意思捏。
记得先玩前作
goooooood!
无厘头推理群像风,我的最爱
设计比较新颖,解密难度约等于没有,主要是欣赏各个人物的有趣性格,略有些无聊,如果闲的没事可以看一下,也不失为一个不错的休闲方式
哦天哪我真是太喜欢这个游戏了! 比起推理游戏确实更偏向视觉小说,但是能在极短篇幅内把每个人的特点和高光都表现出来,再加上角色塑造也很成功,有好多角色即使只说过几句话依然能让我印象深刻并能调动我的情绪,真的非常难得 每个章节开头的小动画我也很喜欢!立绘也非常能表现出人物特征,剧本也非常不错,一直有各种各样的突发事件,总之看起来不累还很轻松,让人一直在期待后续发展 顺便再夸一句汉化,很多地方真的能让我笑出来
[b]Methods: The Detective Competition[/b] is a gritty mystery game where you play as the detectives who are contestants of a grand mystery-solving competition. It consists a colorful casts of characters, whom you may or may not meet again, due to changing perspectives for each stages. All detectives are equipped with their own specialty for solving cases, some are of average types while others are game-changers. Some may require codependency to utilize their strengths, but there are others who are practically better alone than your typical run-of-the-mill. The game definitely catches that eerie vibe when provided with a case so tangible, it could practically happen in real life (given with some suspension of disbelief). [spoiler]Because you’re not just up against other detectives competing to be the best there is. There’s also the stake of the best criminal getting away scot-free if they ever win.[/spoiler] But I'm getting ahead of myself, the game is definitely loads of fun and a must play for hard-core mystery solvers, filled with a compelling story and interesting characters. I give it a [b]9/10.[/b]
