Mechanics

Gameplay in Burly Men at Sea is a combination of a point-and-click adventure game and a visual novel. The fun is very simple. On the screen we see three fishermen surrounded by a special circle, which we move to the right and left, thus discovering the world. After reaching a building we can enter it and talk to the character inside. Depending on the direction we chose, the places we visit, the characters we encounter and the choices we make, the game's story changes. The title consists of a series of short stories - getting to know each of them takes several minutes. Apart from the adventures themselves, the game doesn't offer much, because during the game you have to show neither skill nor logical thinking. The game is simply about exploring and learning stories narrated by the player.
