comment |
Burly Men at Sea is a video game halfway between the Visual Novel and Point-and-Click Game, developed by Brain & Brain and available for Mac OS, Windows, iOS, and Android.The game's plot deals with three stout seafaring brothers, Brave Beard, Steady Beard, and Hasty Beard, who are stimulated by the discovery of a mysterious blank map to explore the seas around their island home. What they discover is the stuff of a whimsical and non-threatening adventure loosely inspired by Norse Mythology. |

Failed a Spot Check: The second time around, the brothers know that the Kraken at rest looks like a small green island, but don't see it anywhere - and so they land on a nearby small green island in order to have a better vantage point. |
