In the sleepy town of Arthurton, nothing ever changes. Kid Detective Jenny LeClue has solved dozens of tired, predictable mysteries from missing eyeglasses to lost jars of marmalade. She largely spends her days throwing rocks with her quiet best friend Keith or dodging the insults of the local Alpha Bitch Girl Posse, led by her cousin Suzie Glatz. Bored and unchallenged, all Jenny wants is a chance to prove that she could be a truly great detective if given the opportunity.Meanwhile, less-than-celebrated author Arthur K. Finklestein faces his own problems. After over thirty years of writing stories in the Jenny LeClue book series, his sleepy, cozy mystery tales are wearing out their welcome. Both his critics and his publisher are demanding something different. They want Jenny to face actual danger. They want her to solve a murder. Facing the cancellation of his beloved characters, Arthur caves to the mounting pressure and sets Jenny onto a new, more dangerous adventure...Jenny LeClue is an Adventure Game developed and published by Mografi. The game received crowd-funding from Kickstarter in August 2014; it released September 19, 2019 for PC, iOS and Android, with a Nintendo Switch version coming out August 25, 2020. A Play Station 4 version is also in the works. The game promises a thrilling adventure story as Jenny investigates the mysteries of Arthurton, while also controlling the dangerous direction Arthur Finklestein finds himself taking Jenny's story.

Darker and Edgier: An in-universe example. As a result of Richard's Executive Meddling, Arthur is forced to kill one of his characters and put Jenny into actual danger for what is probably the very first time in 38 books.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Jenny LeClue (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Arthur is shown to be downright terrified of putting Jenny in any sort of danger, which is the primary reason his books have lost a fair amount of their former popularity. The character of Jenny herself longs for nothing more than some real adventure, but she's constantly rail-roaded by her creator into solving the most mundane and unimpressive mysteries imaginable. When he finally does allow her to veer out of his comfort zone, he almost has a panic attack over it at first and at one point even tries to retcon his changes, but eventually learns that he must let things play out on their own and explore new ideas as a writer. Without the writer-character angle, this could almost be read as an overprotective father accepting that he can't protect his daughter from everything and learning to let her go and develop into her own person.

Multiple Endings: Depending on the choices the player makes, the game ends with either Jenny, her mother, or the Dean being zapped into another dimension as the machines beneath Arthurton begin to malfunction. Checking the journal afterwards will have Jenny comment on this. At least if you didn't choose her as the one to disappear.

Alpha Bitch: Played with. Suzie Glatz herself is actually pretty kind, but her Girl Posse are all too happy to be jerks in her place by turning any comments that could at best be construed as Innocently Insensitive into actual insults. Jenny certainly treats her cousin as though she is an Alpha Bitch, and the player has the option to make Jenny continue to behave in that manner even after they start working together and it's made clear Suzie desires Jenny's friendship.

Insufferable Genius: Jenny's observational skills are far beyond the more straight-forward or dim citizens of Arthurton and she knows it. Even at her kindest, she's incredibly sardonic to everyone around her, and the player has the option to let her say some pretty rude things even to people she likes and respects. In particular, her retorts towards the Girl Posse are agreed by all observers to be much crueler than anything they've ever said.

Character Development: Discussed. One of Arthur's flaws is his fear of change and attempts to avoid giving Jenny this. He even considers skipping her development so she can be friends with Suzie faster. However, he eventually starts to allow Jenny to grow naturally and lets himself grow as an author.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In-universe. Jenny and Arthur push against each other's wants often, to the point of nearly outright arguing. However, while Jenny certainly snarks and groans at some of the narration, she never goes as far as to fully break the fourth wall and neither seem aware of each other's conscious existence.

Bait-and-Switch: After getting told by his publisher that his next book must have a murder, the first scene Arthur writes is of Jenny dead on the floor...as part of a CSI lesson her mother is teaching at the local university. Initially, we're led to believe that the mysterious transmissions from the Zazer Domes that Jenny finds are connected to the Dean's murder. Instead, after finding the missing page to the children's book that functions as the decoder, it's discovered that they're actually a message from Jenny's father.

All-Loving Hero: Suzie is a complete sweetheart to everyone she meets... which is ironically one of the reasons why Jenny hates her, as it makes her come across as far too perfect. Learning about her Hidden Depths, despite feeling bad about her having to hide her intelligence, just serves to annoy Jenny even further.

Leitmotif: In the prologue, the player is given the choice to have the Man in Black whistle either something creepy or something "normal" ("Pop Goes the Weasel," which is arguably even more unsettling), which he'll do every time he makes an appearance in the game proper.

Caustic Critic: Arthur's publisher Richard sends him a review of the last Jenny LeClue book where the nicest thing the critic says is that the book is an effective doorstop. And that's merely the tip of the iceberg if the fact that Richard covered up the rest of the review with black marker is any indication.

Both Sides Have a Point
 Jenny LeClue (Video Game) / int_c02f148d
comment
Both Sides Have a Point: Arthur's critics and his publisher Richard complain that Arthur is terrified of putting his beloved characters in danger. Arthur even seems to have a panic attack writing Jenny into precarious situations that he can easily write her out of. On the other hand, Arthur's belief that his publisher is a hack is supported by Richard's inability to see a story having excitement without a murder to solve. And even with the thrills Jenny's adventure already had, Richard insists on a second murder and despises Arthur's attempt to undo the Dean's death.
