I bet you didn't think you'd be thinking "oh, what a cute beard" when you woke up this morning.

That's what you should be thinking when you watch the new teaser trailer for Burly Men at Sea, at least. If you don't then, well, you must have no love in your heart.

We spotted this adventure game last year and now, several months later, it's almost complete. Funny how that works.

If you haven't seen the game before but think you recognize the art style then you probably do. This is the next game from Brain&Brain who, previously, gave us the adventure game Doggins.

Following on from that game, Burly Men at Sea is described as a "folktale about a trio of large, bearded fishermen who step away from the ordinary to seek adventure."

The Steam Greenlight page further tells us that it's set in early 20th-century Scandinavia and the art style is, apparently, influenced by Scandinavian illustration.

You play the role of a storyteller and move the three bearded men around by interacting with the environment while dragging around storybook-style vignettes.

Plus, it says that each adventure is different on each subsequent playthrough, somehow.

We're told that Burly Men at Sea will be out for iOS and PC in late 2015. Check out its website for more.
