I have to say, I have nothing but positive feedback for this game. I loved every aspect of it. The "homemade" sound effects, the minimalistic style, the short diverging storylines, and generally everything about it. I feel as though this game perfectly acheived everything it went for in terms of gameplay and esthetics, and I enjoyed every moment of playing it.
Applause to the creators of this wonderful little game, this wonderful little experience.
I made a let's play of one story if anyone wants to have a look: (warning: contains excessive foul language, cringy voice acting, and crude "humor") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHrbKi-tpCY
This game is something else. The simple, elegant designs give this game a charm I haven't experienced before. The brothers Beard are hilarious an this game has a ton of replayability.

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.
Features
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.
