‘Jenny LeClue – Playable Teaser’ is a Rarely-Allowed Demo on the App Store

TouchArcade Rating:

The console side of gaming has been abuzz about P.T., short for “Playable Teaser", which was a taste of the upcoming Silent Hills being headed up by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro. Well, that was before Konami canceled the game under mysterious circumstances and pulled said teaser. Well, P.T. may be dead, but the concept isn’t, as the upcoming adventure game Jenny LeClue has a playable teaser of its very own – and you can actually get it on iOS right now with Jenny LeClue – Playable Teaser (Free).

This release is really interesting because Apple generally doesn’t allow demos or early access type stuff on to the App Store. So, it’s interesting to see one developer get away with this sort of thing because it requires a particular framing in order to get past the Apple rules. And it seems like the “playable teaser" concept is the way to go. Now we just have to hope Konami doesn’t cancel this, right?!

The Jenny LeClue teaser has you solving the mystery of the Journal of Professor Zazer, a mini-adventure that’s set in the world of the game, giving you a taste of what to expect from Episode One when it’s completed.

      Apparently the Brass de Bravo album is not available in the U.S. Store. HOW COULD YOU TEASE ME LIKE THAT.

        Er, it should be. I bought it from the Canadian iTunes Store, at least.

        Yeah that link seems to be broken. Just go search for it on iTunes, it's there.

          Found it and purchased it!! It seems, at least from the iTunes preview samples, that there is quite a bit from FFIV on this album. Exciting! IV and VI are the nostalgic favorites but don't get as much airplay on albums as they should, in my opinion.

      Just sucks that the game still crashes often when attempting to resume the game from the background. I want to play FF4 so bad but I can't due to this bug. Not even a r issue. It'll be the only app is have and still once resumed it'll crash half the time. Wish SE would clean it up.

      You should do an RPG Reload for FF2... oh, that's right, the $15 game I bought a while back is so broken due to lack of updates that it is unplayable. Thanks SqEnix

      That was a nice podcast. The Gilgamesh commentary made me laugh on the streets!
      To who should I report for never playing KOTOR? Never been a Star Wars fan.

        Im not a starwars fan but kotor is not to be missed, that you can take to the bank!
