A DETECTIVE GAME THAT DRIFTS HEAVILY INTO A NOVEL
I've always been an huge fan of detective games. AI Somnium Files, Dangonronpa, and many others come to mind, so I was enthusiastic to try to solve challenging puzzles and mysteries, but to my disappointment, I found that it was largely a decently done Visual Novel with extremely simple solutions to each crime.

100 detectives vs 100 criminals? Methods: The Detective Competition is the ultimate mystery game
SHOULD I PLAY METHODS: DETECTIVE COMPETITION?
Play it if you like mystery games with a sense of humor. In Methods: Detective Competition, one hundred detectives face off against one hundred master criminals. As you might expect, this plot requires a huge cast of characters, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know all of them. It’s more like a visual novel than an investigation game, but it’s still given me plenty of chances to test out my sleuthing skills.
