Methods: Detective Competition immerses players in a world where 100 detectives vie for a one million dollar prize and a life-altering opportunity. Should a criminal emerge victorious, they not only claim the cash prize but also receive parole, regardless of the severity of their crime.
Not really a 'Detective' game but a solid visual novel experience nonetheless | Review - Methods

Contrary to expectations, Methods: Detective Competition is not a traditional detective game where players are given free reign to deduce and analyze. Instead, it leans more toward a visual novel experience with detective characters and themes. Throughout the different kinds of investigations, players will be asked questions regarding their thoughts on the solution, and the game will then display the outcome of their choice.
As a visual novel, Methods: Detective Competition actually has a pretty solid and compelling story. It’s not so much about playing as a Detective but rather experiencing a story that is about Detectives and Mysteries. The game consists of a super-quick 100 chapters that will roughly take you 10 hours to fully finish.
Methods: Detective Competition initially released in visual novel form last 2019, and was subsequently remastered for a Steam release last 2020. Now, it is finally out on both Android and iOS.
