Reviews
Игра "Methods: The Illusion Murders" - это захватывающий детективный квест с упором на психологию и сложные головоломки. Сюжет, закрученный вокруг серии загадочных убийств иллюзионистов, держит в напряжении до самого финала. Понравилась глубокая проработка персонажей, каждый со своими мотивами и скелетами в шкафу. Механика расследования, основанная на сборе улик, допросах и дедукции, реализована интересно и заставляет чувствовать себя настоящим детективом. Графика и звуковое сопровождение создают мрачную и атмосферную обстановку, отлично погружая в мир иллюзий и обмана. Однако, некоторые головоломки могут показаться немного запутанными, требуя нестандартного подхода. В целом, "Methods: The Illusion Murders" - это отличный выбор для любителей детективных игр с глубоким сюжетом и интересной геймплейной механикой. Рекомендую!

如果你是冲着推理解密去的,那这个要素基本没有。 这个画风意外的很萌耶~但对我来说这个剧情只能在及格线那一块,没有很惊艳,而且云里雾里。
胜在免费。更像一个介绍红色七月的dlc。案件嘛,可行性什么的就不必纠结啦~
初次接触本系列但是,红色七月,我喜欢你............
Pretty solid little mystery, really gotta play more of this series.
女性友好
等我打完侦探大赛回来再写测评(? —————————————————— 红色七月的小番外,不得不说这位的探案法真是强大啊( 打完侦探大赛再来刷一遍,我已经理解了一切。小红真的是没有感情的探案工具,如此之强大的代价就是舍弃了除自己和探案法以外的所有吧。很好奇如果在侦探大赛真的进入了第六轮,能不能轻易地战胜猫挠挠。 希望之后的作品里还能看到她,红色七月pro max!
As one character in this game says, 'Red July is very mysterious and hot.' After having played this game, I can say with certainty that Red July is indeed very mysterious and hot. 10/10, highly recommend.
doesn't do a good job of being a detective game, bored me nearly to tears. and i beat the whole thing in the time the review says.
