Boston Made’s arcade is heading south. Mr. B’s Fine Cuts, now free at games.bostonmade.com, is an animated story game set in Cherry Grove, the quiet north end of South Carolina’s Grand Strand.

Mr. B runs a little corner grocery with a red-and-white awning. He hand-cuts the finest meats in town and picks the freshest seafood off the boats every morning, and this summer he needs an apprentice. Players spend five days behind his counter:

1. The New Apprentice. Learn the steak and chop chart.
2. The Shrimp Boats Come In. The seafood case opens: shrimp, flounder, grouper, scallops, crab, lobster and oysters.
3. Pier Party. The Cherry Grove Pier crowd wants steaks for the grill.
4. Hurricane Watch. A storm is coming and the whole town is stocking up.
5. The Big Block Cookout. Friends drive down from Boston for the party of the summer.

Every order teaches something real: where a ribeye, tri-tip or pork belly actually comes from, and how a good butcher weighs a cut. Hit a day’s tip goal and Mr. B hands over a real reward, the code MRBFINECUTS15 for 15% off at the Boston Made Pets shop. The Mr. B art pack is available as an instant download for $4.99.

Mr. B, his grocery and his customers are fictional. Cherry Grove, the Grand Strand and Cherry Grove Pier are very real.
