Jenny LeClue is a thrilling story of mystery, adventure and growing up. Set in the sleepy town of Arthurton, the game is filled with memorable, complex characters and rendered in a unique aesthetic.
Embrace the choosiness and shape the metanarrative. You are not the only guiding hand shaping Jenny’s destiny, but your choices will help her unravel the tangled mystery and become the detective she was born to be.
Jenny gets more than she bargains for when her mother is accused of murder, and begins an unexpected journey to find the truth.
She soon discovers the idyllic town of Arthurton is not what it seems, and unseen forces will stop at nothing to keep Jenny from the truth. She will need all her skills of deduction to find the real killer and clear her mother’s name.
A pocket-sized heroine on a big quest for justice:
Jenny is a brilliant young detective, sharp eyed, intuitive and a ruthless pursuer of the truth. She is able to look around during dialogue scenes, observing the subject for visible clues that might reveal their guilt or innocence that would otherwise go undetected.
A beautiful handmade world, packed with secrets:
A sleek, gorgeous hand drawn world with vintage mid-20th century aesthetics and mystery squished into every corner. There’s so much to interact with, and players who poke and prod at every last thing are rewarded with insight, secrets, and humor.
A story within a story, where your choosiness matters:
Jenny LeClue weaves a rich metanarrative around a rich story exploring themes of family, loss, and identity. The "author" of Jenny's adventures, Arthur K Finklestein, acts as narrator and guide, but his presence also allows you to make choices that change the way Jenny's story is written. These choices may even affect Finklestein’s own story.
A Diverse Cast Of Characters & Locations:
Explore Arthurton’s expansive world including the abandoned mines, the forgotten graveyard, Lake Noware, and Gumboldt's Library. Jenny will meet an array of intriguing and suspicious characters who could help or hinder her on her quest for the truth.
When a game delivers a premise and ends without a conclusion, I say it is a waste of time and further attention should be directed elsewhere. Just imagine if a Sherlock Holmes story ended without any sort of conclusion, and you already have some idea of the disappointment you will find if you play this game to the end.
Save your money, buy a game that is actually complete.
Playing this with my nine-year old son and he's surprisingly good at the puzzles, loves the (occasionally) mildly inappropriate humor, and cannot WAIT to move on to the next part of the story.
I've tried a lot of games I thought he'd like playing together, but this has been a super hit. Great pacing and a decent variety of puzzles, and the story really does keep you guessing. Love the conceit of watching/making the story unfold through a conflicted author's perspective.
Overall imaginative and fun for adults and mature youngsters.
This is one of those relatively few games that delivers on your experience as a whole. The metaplot is refreshingly high-concept, lending it substance, while the production values make for amazing art style, music and voice acting. You'll thrill to each new surprising development and scene!
FYIs:
*This is part 1 of a planned series. Yes they leave us on a cliffhanger but honestly I ain't even mad.
*Gameplay is about 15 hrs.
*No mouse support, so the keyboard-only controls are a bit clunky.
*There is some light cussing (not a problem for me, but heads-up if you have kids)
Have fun!
I feel so ripped off by having bought it (because it's not cheap, I had expectations!) that I want to warn you. You know what they say about certain persons - they're pretty until they open their mouths. Same is true for that game. It's like a pretty, but dumb person. So unsatisfying! And so boring. Sad.
- terrible voices in all children, but yes, there is voice acting (why did you do this to their voices, really?) and holy f, that sound when J reaches the edge of a roof - as if she breaks her neck, yuck!!
- given clues or information visible on screen is then doubled in shallow dialogues, redundand and boring, no real brain activity is needed, neither for solving puzzles nor for guessing the plot or characters; there is no space for imagination - like everything is doomed to stick to it's definition of just being simple and boring.
- one third of regular play time is occupied by long distances Jenny must cross, seemingly artificially lengthening the game, sign of a lack of true inspiration...
- mechanics and controls are NOT made for jump and run (even if they pretend), yet there are passages where you even climb; all feels bulky, very slow and tedious
- another third of the time you spend picking up irrellevant "clues" that have nothing to do with the story but are artworks and stickers (way too much)
- content/plot and suspense of a 10 min prologue or tutorial - that's what a good game would've done, put all that in a tutorial and then really START A PLOT. I cannot take how shallow and predictable it all feels. (All the time I waited for the real and deep story to start, but... no. This is nothing near a deep Wadjet Eye, Daedalic or Double Fine adventure.)
- but! turns out: IT IS! chapter 1 of ??? BAMBOOZLED! 13 h prologue, congrats!
- BUT ALSO: prize of a full game - which then comes with full game expectations, sorry!
Most of the time this game feels like labor. I'm sad about this. It feels thin. "Like butter scraped over too much bread."
‘Jenny LeClue: Detectivu’ is one of the best adventure games I’ve played to date. It’s a small town mystery adventure game that stars a young, precocious, smart and boastful detective named Jenny. Unsatisfied with the little cases she gets hired to solve, she yearns for a mystery that would challenge her, and present her with adventure.
Don’t let the children’s book art style fool you -- this game has a well-developed story arc for the protagonist, intertwined with the tale of a struggling children’s mystery novelist who also acts as the game’s narrator. There are some intriguing cases to solve in ‘Jenny LeClue’, all of which build up to a surprising mystery. The story is funny, touching, and exciting; it’s too bad then that it ends on a cliffhanger, leaving players wondering how the grander mystery would play out.
The way ‘Jenny LeClue’ is structured reminds me of Donald J. Sobol’s ‘Encyclopedia Brown’ book series, in which the readers can solve each story’s mystery and check their deduction against the real solution. In this game, you seek out clues, and play an active role in deducing solutions. There’s also some platforming, especially in the last third of the game. It’s more than I cared for, but it’s neither boring nor aggravating. I just wished there were more mysteries to solve.
My biggest complaint is that there’s no mouse control, which would have made some parts of investigation faster and easier. There’re plenty of choices for players to make in directing how Jenny reacts to different situations, and these choices immediately affect the dialogues that follow. Yet, many player choices have no major impact on how the game’s story unfolds.
I really hope there will be a second ‘Jenny LeClue’ game. It’s a surprisingly fun, mature adventure game that offers just enough challenge for players who want play gumshoe for several hours. The way the game ended really left me curious about the lengths that Jenny will go to solve the bigger, more personal mystery.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
