I like the style and character of the game, though I have some criticisms. One, Pearl becomes a bit unlikable because she increasingly seems less like a "quirky misfit" and more of a "sociopathic killer". She just seems really eager to kill (or help in the killing of) an innocent person without much justification or reason behind it. Second, the MC bear guy just... kills for fun? Or kills cause he has to? It's sorta implied he does it for money, but it's not really elaborated on. I guess he's just a generic serial killer? Could do with more on his backstory.
2/3 endings and not a lot of the game over screens, but I REALLY loved this experience! The characters are SO well written and interesting, the overall plot is both silly, goofy, but wholesome and heart breaking. What a fun game! I am really glad I played Prey at the Altar and found you, this was such a treat. :) Guess I'll have to play The Moon Looks Beautiful Tonight soon!!
I loved the art, the music, the concept, everything!
Just one thing that could help people with the same problem as me:
If the game doesn't run properly on your potato computer, there's an app in the playstore that works like easyrpg but for rpgmv/mz games, it's called Maldives player, it's worth the try!
this game is really fun! i love the character writing, and the artstyle is really good- every character has a strong silhouette and colour scheme. great work!
I love how charming and gorgeous the game is!!! The art style, the characters, the music, everything is so unique, I love it!!!
I am a final-year student of English-Spanish translation, and I'm currently looking for a project to finish my degree. If you are interested, I would be very excited to work with you on a free Spanish translation for the game.
This was an absolutely phenomenal experience! The style, the music, the game play, the story, the characters, I am so, so glad I got to play this game. You and everyone involved should be so overwhelmingly proud of this, as I'm sure you are. I sincerely hope this isn't the last time I get to see Pearl and Grizz, I'd be happy to pay to make that happen if need be.
Great story line and amazing art, the only issue I had with it is that it was extremely glitchy on everything but the cut scenes, but overall great game!
Apologies; this game is rather resource intensive due to the fact that we’re using a 2D game engine to render 3D graphics. We recommend having a decent amount of RAM available to play the game smoothly. Sorry for the inconvenience!
This is such a cute game!! The art is soo colorful and charming and I love the whole concept! I loved the music and the setting and all the customers, you can tell people had fun creating this
Manly brought me here. What a gem of a game! I'm obsessed with Pearl's design, like, for real!!! As well as the expressiveness of the art. And the 2.5D look. And the quirky silly dialogue. Beary nice little game 🐻
One tiny change I'd suggest is adding either character names to textboxes or making the boxes unique to each major character (like with a graphic, icon or even just colour). Most of the time it's fine since the talksprites change, but during the climax I did get a bit confused since there were three people talking. I think it could look really stylish too.
Really cool! I love the art direction, I always find it so incredible to see what RPG Maker can accomplish. I love the dynamic between the two, and just the situation itself having the really dire things being reacted in a mundane way, and the mundane being reacted in a dire way. Though to be honest, retail really is that frantic in real life.
Thanks for the really enjoyable time, I can't wait to check out more of y'alls stuff!
A pretty solid game overall. I mostly like the game's art direction, which goes well with the quirky little narrative you've got going on. Seems to be a common theme with puzzle-based visual novels like these.
hi! i'm one of the artists on BTH-- I don't know if I ever commented on this, but your cosplay and merch is absolutely amazing!! It's so cool seeing this character come to life... the prop too! awesome job :-)
Thank you SO much! It means a lot! I have a few more pieces of BTH merch in mind that I wanna do, so I'll update my previous comment when I eventually get to do them :D
It's an incredible game, I loved it, the art, the dialogues, the characters, everything is beautiful!!! You are very talented, I hope you continue releasing more games, with so much talent you will go very far 🫶 I made this little drawings of Grizz and Pearl (it's not much and they don't look alike at all XDD), but it was very nice to draw them, thank you for this wonderful game!! 🎄.
Could you also upload native Linux builds for the game? Pretty sure RPG Maker MZ/MV allow to export for Linux. If not, would it be possible to bundle for a web release? That also works natively on Linux, since you just need a browser!
I meant like marriage, gay marriage wasn't legal in the 90's unfortunately. they could be a perfectly cute couple still. I just meant like in a marriage scenario
Meant to play this when it came out but better late than never and ITS SO GOOD! Damn I had so much fun with my chat on this game and the story was really funny and the art and dialogue were PERFECT! I just feel bad for misgendering Grizz so much cuz I thought she was a dude for so long it was hard to switch once I did learn RIP. She's a badass tho fr

Loved the game so much that I cosplayed Grizz AND made a keychain of her (not for sale!)
hey if you ever do make some of these keychains for sale hit me up.....
If Team Cetacity ever allowed me to, I would! (I'd love to design merch for them)
But for now I'll only make merch for myself.

Exciting!! FTR, selling your merch is fine as long as within hobby scale -- so conventions, online shop, etc. is fine! j
Ohh I see now! Thanks for clearing that up :D
Update: Wore my cosplay to an actual gas station!
This is so insanely cool!! Thanks for showing this to us, I keep smiling whenever I look at these pictures :>
Update: They're finally reunited!
Yes I also made this Pearl keychain!
Do you guys know when the concert is starting?
I just love this game. I found a gold
It's an incredible game, I loved it, the art, the dialogues, the characters, everything is beautiful!!!

Found this through Manlybadasshero and I think that speaks for itsel
good game
Un estilo artístico bonito y una historia interesante, definitivamente un gran juego. Me ha encantado.
I really love the fact that you never find out how or why Beary killed Courtney , the corpse is just there and that's it.
So thankful I have Wine installed! This game is amazing!
It's a fun game, It has a cute art style and is pretty funny. I also kinda ship pearl and beary
I love the game The art style is fantastic. As well, the dialog & characters are amazingly written.
Fun and quirky rpg maker game. I really liked the dialog and artstyle. Hope to more.
good game!
I need more of this game
pearl kinda cute tho, not in like a weird creepy way, just they're kinda funny
Hear me out, the game name MIGHT be called beary the hatchet because, the dude with the bear head is called beary. It's just a maybe though
never would've guessed /hj
Hey!

Is the killer a lady 🥺👉👈
Grizz is a girl, yes!
For a sec, I thought Grizz was a man with a mullet, thanks for clarification...
darnit, that woulda been a cute ship >:(
gay people exist dude
I meant like marriage, gay marriage wasn't legal in the 90's unfortunately. they could be a perfectly cute couple still. I just meant like in a marriage scenario
lesbians/wlw still existed in the 90s dude
🤍BEST GAME EVER🖤
The art of this game is really impressive and well done. All Endings here:
Hide Ending.
Absolute kino game, love the artstyle!!!
No gamepad support? Interesting game concept. Cool arr style and character design-the colors somewhat pop. Will there be a sequel?
