A young detective named Jenny LeClue must clear her mother of murder. A fictional author acts as the game's narrator. The game is set in Arthurton, where Jenny LeClue attends her mother’s college courses. She helps show her mom’s students how first impressions on a scene are different than the whole story. You then have an option to help or attempt to get out of finding your mom’s student’s essays. After finding them, Jenny decides to go meet Keith, a friend of hers. Along the way, she gets distracted by the Dean constructing a statue of himself since he will be retiring soon. He serves as a tutorial on investigating and interrogation.
