Description
One of TIME’s top ten games of 2016, 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.

Customer Reviews
Fun and creative
Minimalistic art looks good. The story is neat and you can repeat it many times for a decent variety of story options.
All surface no substance
Beautiful visuals and audio but gameplay is non existent. Was looking forward to an interesting indie title like "superbothers sword and sorcery" but instead got what amounts to a short baby book with a couple different paths. Would have been a great free concept demo. Not worth any where near $5.
Good, But short
I got this game thinking it would last me about three or four hours.
The game is literally twenty minutes long. Don't waste your money.
