PAX East is currently happening, with plenty of games being unveiled on this glorious event. One recent popular genre are detective mystery games. Another popular game type is one with a meta-narrative twist (think Heavy Rain or Until Dawn). Mash these both together, though, and you have Jenny LeClue – Detectivu by Mografi, which recently unveiled the new trailer above at the event.
They already set up a Steam page for the game, allowing future players to have a glimpse of how the game will work. They gave this as an overview:
