Developed by Outright Games and Climax Studios, the game follows Finn and Jake they explore a flooded Land of Ooo using their newly constructed boat. The flooding caused familiar kingdoms to be cut off from each other and now it's up to these two brave heroes to find out what happened.

Together they will explore the flooded lands of Ooo, be discovering new locations and interrogating other characters for clues.
