As a point-and-click game, Jenny LeClue - Detectivu encourages players to hone their observation skills by examining locations, finding objects, and analyzing people's appearances to piece together various clues. Players also engage in mini-games and puzzles throughout the game, though some puzzles can feel repetitive due to a lack of variety.
