Burly Men at Sea is a folktale about a trio of large, bearded fishermen who step away from the ordinary to seek adventure. Set in the waters of early 20th-century Scandinavia, the game's story branches through a series of encounters with creatures from folklore. You play as storyteller and wayfinder, shaping the narrative around three ungainly heroes. Play through once for a single tale, then set sail again to uncover paths to new adventures. SXSW Gamer’s Voice Award nominee (2016), finalist for Best Adventure Game/RPG (Intel Level Up 2016), and selected for festivals and showcases internationally. Features • BRANCHING STORY: Play through multiple adventures, each designed to be completed in a single sitting. • INTERACTIVE WORLD: Shape the narrative through interaction with characters and the world around them, set inside a draggable, interactive vignette. • PLAYFUL AESTHETIC: Colorful art style with handcrafted animation, set to a whimsical original soundtrack inspired by the game’s Scandinavian setting. No in-app purchases or ads. Bio Burly Men at Sea is the second game from husband-and-wife team Brain&Brain, developed during their own adventures as nomads and erstwhile farmhands.
