Critic Reviews for Jenny LeClue - Detectivu
Jenny LeClue - Detectivu is a great story with colorful characters and addictive gameplay, which ends at the most interesting place. And how long we will have to wait for the continuation and whether it will be at all – no one knows. This is the only thing that upsets, because once you play it, you will definitely want more.

An adventure without the boring bits, Jenny LeClue: Detectivú is a sensational game that is well worth playing; just don't expect to solve the case of the missing ending.
Jenny LeClue - Detectivu won't trouble even detective novices, but its sweet-natured world and strong writing see it through.
The charming protagonist is crushed under the weight of a lack of challenge, and seer 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.
Exceptional presentation elements bolster excellent voice acting and writing, and the result is a mystery experience that is both accessible and hard to put down. The puzzle quality could be a little higher and the game did freeze a couple times (autosaves are frequent, fortunately), but the memorable characters will definitely stick with you after you close the book on this one. Like a good novel, Jenny's (and Arthur's) story is a real page-turner, and it's well deserving of being added to your Switch library.
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.
Jenny LeClue – Detectivu is one of the best adventure games I’ve played on the Switch since buying one.

Although this is only part one of two, it doesn’t feel like anything was cut or removed – it tells the story it set out to tell and builds up your excitement and hype for the next episode.

It’s a funny, mysterious, spooky, and heartwarming adventure you’ll never forget.
Jenny LeClue – Detectivu offers both an intriguing mystery to unravel and brilliant crime-solving mechanics… it really makes for one heck of an enjoyable adventure.
