It contains 50 full-colour pages and costs $30. The adventure can then be bought as a physical book, based on the four encounters the player chose. The combination of encounters that form a single adventure is also summarized through a code that can be entered on the developer's website. Each completed adventure is represented through a book at the old man's coffee shop, based on four icons on the map, corresponding with four encounters. The men can get eaten by a whale, meet nymphs and mermaids, race Death, experience the hospitality of a living mountain, meet a snake, get locked up, and more. There are also many interactive elements in the background that can be clicked for a short animation, but they serve no further purpose. Certain characters return with different conversations and story elements based on previous adventures or encounters. At certain locations the men can be moved around and there are different choices to make, sometimes with small puzzle-solving elements, leading to different, branching paths in the story. The story is told through images and text, with limited interaction by the player. If you’re looking for a unique experience, Burly. It’s bursting with invention and imagination, in everything from the way you drag the screen around to move the titular burly men, to the music that’s largely built around vocally-created sounds, and all points in between. It is largely played as a visual novel and is described by the developers as "a quiet adventure". Burly Men at Sea is most definitely not a bad game by any means. The game is meant to be played multiple times, each time starting again at the village, as there are different paths and encounters to discover. Eventually an old man reveals the map is there for them to complete with their own adventures, so they set sail and explore. They return to their village to find out if some of the folks there know more. One day, they find a map inside a bottle at sea, but it only contains their own island. Burly Men at Sea is a game about the adventures of three fishermen, the brothers Beard: Brave Beard, Hasty Beard and Steady Beard.
