![]() Other than the animation, which really isn’t an issue and just preference, the foregrounds in Jenny LeClue Detectivu, while beautiful, were a little annoying as they dominate the screen, if temporarily, and sometimes you have to walk back and forth so see everything in the mid/background. Finklestein is perfectly suited, and despite her annoying whines and proclamations throughout, Jenny is well cast too. For a game that heavily relies on its dialogue scenes, it’s imperative that Mografi got this right. Nevertheless, there’s no question about the top-class visual presentation, as well as the sound design. When Jenny runs, it’s a bit janky and very much like a cut-out effect when that isn’t the design choice. Of course, with that picturebook quality, the animation does feel a little unnatural. It really does feel like an illustrated picturebook come alive before your very eyes. Arthurton, as alluded to in the intro of Jenny LeClue Detectivu, is gorgeous.

Quite the turn for a children’s story, but it’s a troubling sign of the times for Finklestein as his audience has matured, and their interests and expectations changed. This leaves our titular hero to investigate, solve the crime, and have her mother acquitted. Reluctant to change the tone so drastically, he succumbs and kills off a character, framing Jenny’s mother, a university lecturer and somewhat brilliant detective like her daughter. How can he counter this? Introduce real deaths into the narrative. He’s developed Jenny’s story over the years to much acclaim, but the publishers are now pilling on the pressure as book sales have dwindled. The Jenny LeClue Detectivu series could well be a real franchise as the characters and locations seem to carry a weight to them as if this is one of many adventures in the series – like a follow up to an already successful game.īut Jenny LeClue is the creation of fictitious author Arthur K Finklestein.
