Review burly men at sea1/6/2023 ![]() Usually, one of two things happen when the player stretches the view: the brothers walk or sail their boat in the direction of the stretching, or some event that is unique to the scene triggers when the view is stretched far enough. To see the other parts of the screen, the player needs to drag the mouse/one’s finger, which stretches the view. The player’s view is initially restricted to a small portion of the current scene. Doing the latter would eventually reveal to the player that dragging the finger, or mouse, is needed. Of course, players who are versed with touchscreen games would know that they either need to tap on things, or to swipe things around. There is seemingly nothing interactive on-screen, with no immediately clear prompt on what to do. The first screen alone would have the player learning about this the hard way. This is because of how the game works the camera and the actions of the brothers together. ![]() That said, the player will be dragging the mouse around a lot. This can be understandable to people who would know about the conversion process, but any player who is a die-hard mouse user would likely be dissatisfied. Rather, the player would be simulating finger-sliding by holding down the relevant mouse button and dragging the mouse around. However, the conversion is not to the point that the player can play the game like it is a point-and-click adventure game. The game was originally made for the touchscreen devices, though conversion to mouse controls for computer platforms has been made. ![]() The map somehow attracts the attention of mystical beings, who in turn bring the brothers on fantastical adventures – albeit repetitive ones. After giving them some cryptic hints, the sailors would set out to sea again with the map in their possession. This knowledgeable person happens to be the owner of the island’s coffee shop. Thus, the brothers decide to bring the map to the most knowledgeable person on the island. However, such a seemingly useless map would not be in a bottle if it does not have something secret. Anyway, the piece of paper is a map of the seas around the island, but it is not showing anything else. One day, instead of catching fish, they caught a corked bottle with a piece of paper, which is of course one of the staple tropes of any stories about sea-faring. The Beard brothers are presumably fishermen that go out to sea to fish. The island only has a small number of inhabitants, three of which are the Beard brothers. ![]() The game takes place in an isolated island, presumably one in the Nordic regions of the world. If you haven’t played touchscreen games on mobile devices before, figuring out what to do in the first screen can be exasperating. One of these is the kind of game that is meant to be played once in a while, if only because it does not have designs that accommodate hours-long stretches of playing. There had been many kinds of games that have been made for many kinds of consumers. By Gelugon_baat | Review Date: November 2, 2019 ![]()
