About Jenny LeClue - Detectivu
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.
Developer's Note:
This is game one of a planned two game story arc. Jenny LeClue - Detectivu is a complete game experience, like a season of a TV show. Yes, there is a cliffhanger at the end, as it is a mystery story, but there are also conclusions to be made. In addition, we will take the player choices into account and they will influence the way we as the developer create the 2nd game. We hope you enjoy! =]

✦ AI summary
Players praise the charming art style, witty writing, and strong voice acting that make this a fun point-and-click adventure suitable for families and younger audiences. The main frustrations center on collectible hunting that interrupts story immersion and lacks a convenient way to track progress without replaying the entire game, along with complaints about the cliffhanger ending and some tedious traversal in the second half.
I cannot recommend this game until the developer releases Part 2. It does end extremely abruptly and thus feels incomplete. It is devastating as a player to put so much effort in and be left hanging like this. It has been over 7 years since this game came out, WHERE IS PART 2?????10 found this helpful
The gameplay is deeply immersive, driven by a cast of characters who are instantly endearing yet impossible to forget. Visually, the art style is captivating; the distinct lighting and aesthetics offer a refreshing escape from the weight of our current world. While the cliffhanger ending leaves you desperate for answers—making me wish the full experience had been delivered all at once—the storytelling is so meticulous that it genuinely justifies the wait. It creates a brilliant tension: a gripping, suspenseful fear of what’s to come, perfectly balanced by the thrill of anticipation!!!!!!3 found this helpful
i backed this on Kickstarter because i like backing games i probably won't play in order to support individuals with dreams. i figured this would be a decent adventure game and was shocked at how polished and impressive this was. Wonderful UI, acting, story in a story, art, it's all just great. So unreserved thumbs up. The downsides: - The main character (little kid Jenny) is an awful person and i want to drown her - It's an adventure game and even a top notch adventure game isn't as fun as other genres (sorry 1980s) - The game ends at kind of a weird place on a big cliff hanger that feels like they just gave up and quit without even trying to wrap it up. And that was 7 years ago so i'm guessing this really is an unfinished, abandoned project1 found this helpful
GREAT game! The gameplay is challenging enough that you can't help but to give yourself a fist pump even though you didn't stress out. The storyline is super interesting, graphics are great, controls are easy to use, great flow...I really enjoyed this game
we need another game! coolest game! 10/10 recommend. I remember playing this years ago on my phone and even better playing on my pc! really unique game and still better than most new-gen games (not even glazzing)
Love the vibe and quality!
