If you're on the hunt for a fresh addition to your "to-play" list and you're a fan of visual novels, you're in for a treat. Erabit Studios has just released the fifth and final instalment of their acclaimed Methods series, now available on the iOS App Store and Google Play. The conclusion promises to ramp up the intrigue and complexity to new heights.

But what exactly is Methods? It's a thrilling narrative where 100 detectives go head-to-head with criminal masterminds in a structured competition. The stakes are high with a $1 million prize on the line, offering detectives a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and criminals a chance at parole, no matter the severity of their crimes.

Despite the serious undertones, Methods adopts a lighter tone, featuring stylish artwork and visual flair that echoes the vibe of games like Danganronpa. It's engaging without being overly taxing on your brain, as the crimes are solved through simple observation and answering multiple-choice questions as you navigate the crime scenes.

With Methods 5: The Last Stage, you'll dive into the sixth and final stage of this gripping saga. This instalment not only wraps up the main storyline but also introduces a new DLC, Methods: The Illusion Murders, adding extra layers of mystery and excitement. While the episodic format might not appeal to everyone, fans of the series are sure to be thrilled to see how the story unfolds to its conclusion.
