New Adventure Time Finn and Jake Investigations Details
August 6, in the year of our Lord 2015 --
Adventure Time: Finn and Jake Investigations is an all-new,
real-time, fully 3D action-oriented twist on the classic
story-driven graphic adventure game. Finn and Jake decide to
carry on the profession of Finn's parents, who were Professional
Investigators. Confronted with mysterious Land of Ooo
disappearances and strange events, players will question
colorful inhabitants, dispatch evil doers in fast-paced combat,
solve mind-bending puzzles, explore new and familiar locations,
and genuinely feel as if they have stepped into their own
personal episode of Adventure Time, the hit animated series from
Cartoon Network.
At its heart, Finn and Jake Investigations is a modern take on a
classic adventure game, a genre that has seen a recent
resurgence. Gameplay is based on exploring, investigating, and
puzzle-solving. Through the course of the episodes, you get to
interact with dozens of your favorite Adventure Time characters
all over the Land of Ooo, including the Candy and Fire Kingdoms,
Wizard City, and Castle Lemongrab.
And there's a reason for all of this investigating! Joshua and
Margaret—Jake's mother and father, who also raised Finn—were
seasoned detectives back in the days before becoming parents.
They received their assignments from a machine called the
"tickertype," which printed out information on various cases.
Now, Finn and Jake have unearthed the tickertype and decide to
go into the investigation business themselves.
Rather than following a single story arc that spans the entire
game, the adventure plays out as a series of separate (but
related) adventures in which Finn and Jake must travel the
kingdoms of Ooo in order to solve the tickertype mysteries, set
around the middle of the sixth season of the show.
Investigating and puzzle-solving are the heart of the game—but,
wait! There's more!
The game's not focused on fighting, but what would Adventure
Time be if Finn couldn't solve at least some problems with his
trusty sword? Combat is fast-paced, pitting Finn against a
variety of familiar foes who drop lots of collectibles and loot
(as game enemies so often do). When you go back to the Tree
House after each "episode," you'll see piles of dosh grow in
Finn and Jake's treasure room.
The depth of the story and the amount of character interaction
really immerses you in the game—and the icing on the cake is the
visual presentation. For the first time ever, you get to see the
Land of Ooo in eye-popping 3D. We have gone to great lengths to
faithfully capture the art of the show as it's never been seen
before.
Game is coming this October to PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, PS3, 360,
3DS, and PC!
