In the sleepy town of Arthurton, nothing ever changes. KidDetective 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 AlphaBitch GirlPosse, 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 books of the [[ShowWithinAShow Jenny LeClue book series]], his sleepy, cozy mystery stories are wearing out their welcome. Both his critics and his publishers are demanding something different. They want Jenny 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...

!!This game provides examples of:
* AllLovingHero: Suzie is a complete sweetheart to everyone she meets.
* AlphaBitch: Played with. Suzie Glatz always avoids insulting anyone, but her GirlPosse are all too happy to pick up the slack.
* AuthorPhobia: In-Universe. Arthur's biggest fears are losing his characters forever and danger reaching his precious little town. [[spoiler: And he channels this into the story itself by sending Arthurton into some kind of pocket world, forever separate from the rest of Earth.]]
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: All Jenny wanted was a real mystery. Then her best friend's dad was murdered and her mom became the prime suspect.
* BothSidesHaveAPoint: 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 [[AlwaysMurder without a murder to solve.]] [[spoiler: 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.]]
* {{Cliffhanger}}: [[spoiler: ''Detectivu'' ends with a character killed by Arthur as the machines beneath Arthurton malfunction.]]
* ExecutiveMeddling: Which ''literally'' kicks off the plot.
* FreakinessShame: Played with. Suzie is a technical genius, and actually quite proud of it, but her parents have a ''strong'' StayInTheKitchen mentality that pushes her to hide it.
* GadgeteerGenius: Suzie.
* InsufferableGenius: Jenny's observational skills are far beyond the more straight-forward or dim citizens of Arthurton ''and she knows it.'' Her attitude is so insufferable, her retorts towards the GirlPosse are agreed by all observers to be [[NerdBully much crueler than anything they've ever said.]]\
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In-universe. Jenny and Arthur push against each other's wants often, to the point of ''nearly'' outright arguing. However, they never fully break the fourth wall or seem aware of each other's conscious existence.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Arthur goes into a complete panic after writing the Dean's death, to the point of crying into jars of jam and later [[DrowningMySorrows drinking heavily.]]
* RealWomenDontWearDresses: Discussed. Jenny is completely dismissive towards Suzie due to this and has a hard time wrapping her mind around the idea Suzie could be smart ''and'' pretty.

* SmallSecludedWorld: [[spoiler: An experiment gone wrong has sent Arthurton into another plane entirely, separate from the rest of the world.]]
