What is the game about? 
Penny Blue is a self important, famous tween detective with a love for the action and intrigue that comes with  solving mysteries. However, she's not very smart, patient or hard-working, so she coerces her babysitter (you) into doing all the hard work for her.

How was the game made?

Penny Blue Finds a Clue is a first-person adventure game created in Unreal Engine 4. It features traditionally animated 2D character sprites in a Laika-inspired 3D environment full of storytelling elements.

Our high concept was "Nancy Drew meets Grim Fandango." The game features a wacky, off-the-wall narrative with heart.
