    A bit of X-files .. and a huge portion of Gravity Falls. The story is charming and well told. The visuals are striking and very atmospheric. The musical score ... well, i have heard better.

    The protagonist and all the people in the game have sufficient personality .. with the protagonist not being fully sympathetic but socially flawed like other characters, too.

    The only thing i did not quite like was the controls - clearly its not a point and click adventure but one made for game pads. I find a game pad FAR inferior to mouse and keyboard in such an adventure game and in fact .. i am sure mouse controls would have been much better .. but it is what it is.... .
    Also not to my liking was the checkpoint save system instead of a normal game save.

    Other than those minor nitpicks .. a game worth its money and time for sure! ... just do not expect tough puzzles .. it certainly is on the very very easy side of adventure .. pretty much solves itself.    … Expand

    Fascinating visuals, great soundtrack, amazing sound design, lovely characters and cute 4th wall breaks. Sherlock inspirations, detective elements and enjoyable riddles. A mystery and immersive scenario. Surprisingly a dark story. This game is made with passion and I loved this game !!

    The story was much darker than I expected, and the game was really scary at some times. I liked detective deductions. And the characters were nice.

    Jenny Leclue is practically a story in game form, it tells the story of a writer who has the Jenny Leclue book series, and we'll play this "story" that he's writing.

    It's a game to de-stress, play calmly, as if you wanted to read a book. The characters are interesting and the mysteries are intriguing.

    The only problem, which made me go down the game a lot, is that it leaves more open ends for a sequel than answers, really, the company bet on the game's sale because without a sequel everything would be open in the game.

    I recommend waiting for the sequence before buying, so you don't get frustrated.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its REALLY good the grafics are stunning and everything looks so good, the scenes are fun a nd stuning, the caracter desing is incredible and the voice acting is everything. The gameplay is fun quick and really entretaning, I only have some minor problems like, the gallery art thingis sometimes are fun to find but most of the time are annoying like for example (spoilers) when Jenny is in the mine trying to hide from the shadow man a random one appers and takes tencion out of the scene and this happens many times, an intresting or tence scene its interrupted beacose you have to stop open the magnifing glass and look for the thingy and grab it its annoying but outside of that and some other little stuff this game is so fun i recomend it to everyone who loves mystery games.… Expand

    ilk aldıktan 1 ay sonra oynama fırsatı buldum ve pişmanım oyunun ilk 1,5 saatinde çok birşey göremedim ve oyunun mantığını anlamaya çalıştım 2. gün 2,5 saat oynadım ve o ilk 1,5 saatimin sonundaki hikayede gerçekleşen olay beni bağladı toplamda 4 saat oynamıştım ve cidden muhteşemdi 3. gün kesintisiz 11 saat oynayarak oyunun finalini verdim ve benim için harikaydı

    The charming protagonist is crushed under the weight of a lack of challenge, and sheer boredom. First of all, this isn't an adventure game, but an interactive novel - albeit a very good one, but it has a mind-numbingly slow, artificially padded pace that it's hard to recommend it to anyone who expects good gameplay.

    As the first part of a series, Jenny LeClue: Detectivu makes a great initial impression. The actual detective work strikes a balance between thought-provoking and easy to figure out. The presentation is wonderful, even if the audio could have fared better. It is the story that keeps you hooked with a flawed but likeable main character and a layered, supporting cast. It culminates in a story where the lack of a proper ending is the only thing that sours the experience. Provided that the team can release the second game in a timely manner, this'll be a memorable experience for adventure fans.
