![]() Whether this is some kind of extended metaphor or an actual meeting with death, it's hard to say (they did get eaten by a whale, after all), but in order to save their souls from being whisked off to the real land of the dead, the brothers challenge Death to a race. Having decided not to wait until their whale friend opens up his gob to let them out at some unknown destination, the brothers decide to flush themselves free the old-fashioned way - by giving old Moby's uvula a tug while wearing some handy barrels to keep themselves afloat when they break out.Īfter paddling around in the hot sun for a bit, they eventually run into Death himself, who's looking very sullen aboard his little gondola. My favourite burly adventure, though, is when the Brothers Beard keep running into the old grim reaper. But all of them are still available as digital versions if you fancy spending some extra money some beautifully illustrated souvenirs. Alas, some of them are completely sold out now, as I found out when I finished the game over the weekend and diligently typed the little codes it gives you after completing each of the game's endings into the developer's website. With its big blocks of colour, little snippets of text and beautiful folky soundtrack, Burly Men at Sea is like a storybook come to life, which is apt considering developer Brain&Brain actually went and made each of the game's many tales into proper physical books in 2017. ![]() Instead, these bearded brothers are willing to throw themselves down the gullet of adventure time and time again in a Groundhog Day-style time loop just to see where the wind will take them next. But that's not what being burly is about. If I knew I was going to get swallowed whole by a massive whale every time I set sail for adventure, I think I'd stay at home. You've got to admire the courage of Brain&Brain's three burly men at sea. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. ![]() Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. ![]()
