Description

Burly Men at Sea is a folktale about a trio of large, bearded fishermen who step away from the ordinary to seek adventure. With gameplay halfway between a visual novel and a point-and-click adventure, the branching story carries its ungainly heroes into waters where lurk creatures from Scandinavian folklore and other misadventures. You play as storyteller and wayfinder, shaping a custom tale that begins again where it ends. BRANCHING STORY: Play through multiple choice-driven adventures, each designed to be completed in a single sitting. INNOVATIVE CONTROLS: Shape the narrative through a unique, draggable viewport and your interactions within it. PLAYFUL AESTHETIC: Colorful art style with handcrafted animation, set to a whimsical original soundtrack inspired by folk music of the far north. No in-app purchases or ads. … “The closest thing I’ve played to an interactive fairy-tale.” —The Telegraph “Artful interplay of visual minimalism, waggish writing and hilarious but also haunting sound effects generated by gorgeous a cappella voices. 5/5” —TIME “9/10” —Pocket Gamer … Burly Men at Sea is the second game from married duo Brain&Brain, developed during their own adventures as nomads and erstwhile farmhands.
