About Burly Men at Sea

One of TIME’s top ten games of the year, 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.

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 the game’s Scandinavian setting.

No in-app purchases or ads.



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.

A fabulous game for my 7 year old son and I to share time together. Beautiful graphics and great characters to play, combined with a brilliant story for me to read to him. Worth every penny and more.

The art is pretty, the music is good, and the storylines are quirky and cute! Not action packed but a good way to kill some time!

Not sure this actually a game. Really just a story with different endings. Visually interesting but you don't actually do much.

The copy of |Burly Men at Sea| that shows in my Play Store purchase history was purchased [by my 1½ y/o angel c] an agreeably long time ago. I honestly couldn't tell you how long it's been in my inventory. If you could see my play time counter/times this application had launched, you would very easily be able to understand that shouldn't be in my game library, as I've never pl I apologise for the late request! I apologise that I waited this long to make serious notice of the ordeal. Thanks for being kind.

After experiencing the no-text problem, the most recent version is running fine on my device. A relaxing game, sort of but not totally in the vein of Monument Valley. Looking forward to exploring some more.

A beautiful, engaging and meditative experience. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face. And extra kudos to the composer and sound designer for finding such a perfect set of timbres to compliment such a quirky game.

Flipping the point and click adventure game on its head, Burly Men at Sea is a story driven work of art. While adventures seem to come to an end just as you feel your getting started, the narratives branching nature kept me playing to try and find every single nook and cranny of the story. Making this game a completion-ist's dream!

It was a fun little journey. Given the cost and how short it was, I didn't appreciate being led to believe there was more at the end only to be directed to an advertisement.
