Jenny LeClue – Detectivu

Jenny LeClue – Detectivu

Game Introduction

Jenny LeClue is an exciting story about mystery, adventure, and growth. Set in the quiet town of Atherton, the game is filled with memorable, complex characters and presented with a unique aesthetic. Embrace scrutiny and shape the meta-narrative. You are not the sole guide of Jenny's fate, but your choices will help her untangle intricate mysteries and become the detective she was born to be. When her mother is accused of murder, Jenny gets more than she bargained for and embarks on an unexpected journey to uncover the truth. She soon discovers that the idyllic town of Atherton is not what it seems, and unseen forces will stop at nothing to prevent Jenny from reaching the truth. She will need all her deductive skills to find the real killer and clear her mother's name.

A Pocket-Sized Heroine in Pursuit of Justice:
Jenny is a brilliant young detective with a keen eye, relentless intuition, and a ruthless pursuit of truth. She can look around in dialogue scenes, observing visible clues on subjects that may reveal their guilt or innocence, which would otherwise go unnoticed.

A Beautifully Handcrafted World Full of Secrets:
A smooth, gorgeous hand-drawn world with a mid-20th-century vintage aesthetic and an air of mystery. There is so much to interact with; players who poke and prod at everything will be rewarded with insights, secrets, and humor.

A Story Within a Story Where Your Choices Matter:
Jenny LeClue weaves a rich narrative around a deep story exploring themes of family, loss, and identity. Arthur K. Finklestein, the "author" of Jenny's adventure, serves as narrator and guide, but his presence also allows you to make choices that alter how Jenny's story is written. These choices may even influence Finklestein's own story.

A Diverse Cast of Characters and Locations:
Explore the expansive world of Atherton, including abandoned mines, forgotten cemeteries, Lake Novate, and the Gumbert Library. Jenny will encounter a cast of intriguing and suspicious characters who may either aid or hinder her quest for truth.

Developer's Note:
This is one of two planned game storylines. Jenny LeClue – Detectivu is a complete game experience, akin to an entire season of a TV show. Yes, despite being a mystery, there is a cliffhanger at the end, but also some conclusions. Furthermore, we will consider player choices, and they will influence how we, as developers, create the second game. Hope you enjoy! =] – Joe
