Jenny LeClue - Detectivu

What a wonderful little gem of a game, with only one caveat that makes it kind of hard to recommend. This is clearly ment as part 1, the end is extremely abrupt and ends in a cliffhanger and since it's been almost 6 years with very little communication from the devs other than that they are working on it, but have some funding issues, it's not even clear that when or if there will ever be a conclusion. If that bothers you, don't play this. That said, this is great, funny, wholesome, cute, snappy writing, a intriguing mystery story, great characters. Art looks great, the soundtrack is great. Seriously this is a true gem. I really hope there will be a sequel, because it definitly deserves that. The achievements are mostly doable in one playthrough, with some cleanup of collectables you might have missed and a couple of mutually excluding choices, but there are frequent chapter selections and the game seams to remember almost everything even when you redo a chapter over and over). There is only one that requires a second playthrough, i kind of hate those but should probably be able to speed through the game relatively quick on a second go. Edit: Turns out, you don't actually have …

This is what I wish all detective games were like! Great story telling, great characters, creative mechanics, and satisfying puzzles! A charming, immersive, beautifully drawn game with the perfect touch of humor! At first I thought this was just going to be another somewhat simple, not too deep or complex, mystery game. But boy was I wrong! Not long after you get into the game you realize there is sooo much more to this story! I am satisfied with the ending, and am BEGGING for atleast an update on part 2! This perfectly scratched my itch for mystery solving, and I fear no other game will ever beat this high! 😫

+ pretty visuals + fantastic voice-acting + unique deduction mechanic + intriguing story / easy puzzles - lock-picking & barricade-breaking busywork - narrator interrupting story - cliffhanger ending with no news on sequel

Pros: -It looks good and voice acting is great. Shame the game mostly takes place at night or underground. Still looks pretty in those spots -I do like that story is mainly the author trying to put a fresh spin in his stories and we’re going through the story as he writes it. Also, he and Jenny have the best chemistry in terms of comedy. -I adore Suzie. Shame Jenny is kind of a jerk to her during most of the game. Neutral: -Simple puzzles reused a couple of times -The humour wasn’t my cup of tea. -Wish I didn’t need to hold a button to run. Jenny walking speed feels really slow. Cons: -The platforming sections are the most tedious part of the game and makes the game feel slow. -Wish I didn’t need to hold a button to run. Jenny walking speed feels really slow. -The ending. Not that the reveal was underwhelming which it wasn’t or that there are unresolved strings for a sequel, but because your given a final choice where some consequence and it’s nothing. No emotional gut punch or anything.

The most underrated game I have ever played in my entire life, I honest to god hope this game explodes in popularity one day, it really deserves to be beloved by more people, to anyone who reads this review, please buy this game, it was worth every penny I spent on it

Fun game, great presentation, but the story is unfinished. Calling it a "cliff hanger" would be an understatement. not a single mystery is resolveded - not even a motive for the murder case is reveiled! very disapointing ending...
