#Jenny leclue detectivu review full

From walking the golden brown campus of your school to boating on a dark lake to crawling through collapsed mining tunnels, Arthurton is full of interesting and beautifully crafted places to visit. Speaking of graveyards, Jenny LeClue: Detectivú has a vast array of locations and environments for you to sleuth through. Creeping through a misty graveyard to have Suzie’s voice bark through your radio, scaring both you and Jenny, is a fantastic experience. And the Switch version comes with the recently released Spoken Secrets update, which adds full voice acting to the game, and it’s top-notch. Suzie is prima facie an overly optimistic bimbo, but hides a dark secret of her own. CJ, the town conspiracy nut, oozes with comic eccentricity that is reminiscent of Doc from Back to the Future. The characters are what bring Arthurton to life: Jenny herself is witty and full of sass.

If you’re fond of ’80s and ’90s style sci-fi like the X-Files, then you’re going to be right at home with the story here. Aliens, ghosts, conspiracies - these are all elements you must face on your journey. Her mother is a school teacher in small-town America Arthurton, and she is soon arrested for murder, propelling Jenny into a journey full of mystery and intrigue in an attempt to clear her mother’s name and find out what really happened. The one true complaint I have, which is a personal issue more than a flaw the game has, is that the normal walking speed can be a tad slow and there are instances in the game where it’s required and you’ll need to walk back and forth for certain collectibles.You control Jenny LeClue, a young, truth-obsessed detective wannabe. While I’d want to complain that the game really is too easy at times, a lot of adventure games do delve into clicking everywhere using every possible object you can and that’s tedious, which is very much appreciate to be missing. It’s charming and despite being simple, designs weren’t bland.

It’s a bit of a paper doll like look, with the dot eyes. The artstyle on the otherhand does resemble one of a children’s book, and I enjoy that aspect. All of the dialogue is voiced, rather well might I add and despite taking place in a children’s book, it doesn’t overtly feel like it with writing, especially with the dialogue occasionally having strong language. It flows naturally and doesn’t ever seem too forced of silly. The dialogue is very lacking in annoying quips and humor mostly comes from how matter of fact characters talk. You can change it up with the dialogue choices, but at the end of the day Jenny is a smartass little girl and it’s often funny how highly, while also poorly she thinks of herself. Like most adventure games, you’ll be doing the same thing constantly, but I never was bored throughout the game due to one big thing. Everything is placed in Jenny’s journal, which can be customized with stickers you’ll find, like any child. This can be to find someone’s glasses, what they ate for breakfast, or even a tad later, how exactly someone died. To further explain, you’ll do most investigation by collecting clues, either off of a person or your surroundings. To very simply explain, you go around an area, investigate, solve the occasional puzzle, and move on to the next area. Jenny LeClue Detectivu is an adventure game is the way you’d probably very easily describe. To further shake it up, you the player decides how the story moves on, how Jenny responds to people, the environment, her actions regarding her findings it’s all tracked and showcases what kind of person to make Jenny. On the inside, you have the work in progress, a story with the titular kid detective Jenny LeClue and her life getting spun around in an attempt to shake the status quo. On the outside, you have a struggling writer reluctantly trying to spice up his dried up book series. You see, Jenny LeClue Detectivu is two stories, one in the other.

This is the story for the next installment of the Jenny LeClue book series, which has fallen on rather poor times lately, with complaints of falling into the bland the derivative, being too safe. This is however, until the death, alleged murder of an esteemed man of the town. Nothing ever happens in the small town of Arthurton.
