I love it. I love all the drawings of delicious food, descriptions of the lovely environments, highlights of Filipino culture, and the big effort with full voice acting. I also want to thank the creators for the respectful and normal treatment of trans and gay characters, it means a lot to me as an Asian LGBT person.

I feel for Chace as a fellow tech worker… the grind to serve our capitalism overlords and shareholders never ends. The ending is very sweet but would definitely not happen in real life LOL. The relationship between Chace and Maja is very well done, I feel like I am on vacation with my sister and newfound friends by just playing this VN.

thank you so much for this beautiful review! 🙏🏻 We’re especially happy to hear that the LGBTQ+ representation and Filipino culture highlights meant something to you! that was very important to us. We’re currently working on A Tropical Christmas update ( to be launched soon after Dragon's Heart ) with lots of new content, lots of extra scenes ( fully voiced too ), and achievement integration, so stay tuned for more of Chace and the gang real soon! 🌴

I MORE THAN LOVE IT. I'm not finished yet but the story is so exciting so far. I usually choose a short vn to read because i easily get bored, but when i decided to give this a shot, no regret. I'm enjoying every seconds of it, especially when there's Isagani around👀 I like his voice acting and the other characters too. I recorded it while playing and post it on my channel so i can read it again whenever i miss this vn

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it! Sorry, I didn't know I had to approve this other post. Hahaha. We'll be uploading more extra scenes real soon and I hope you like it!! 🎄☃️

Merry Merry Christmas!!

'AI Artists' do not exist ...

Why you saying thank you for? Nobody complimented you and you didn't even do any actual art😭😭😭

We love seeing fan art of A Tropical Christmas! 🎨 However, we kindly ask that all fan art be personally created rather than AI-generated. We appreciate the effort and creativity of handmade artwork. Thank you for understanding! ❤️

I appreciate the game, since it shows Filipino culture. However, I have an issue with it encouraging the trans lifestyle. Mateo should have learned that embracing one’s NATURAL identity is important, and I would have preferred if the story focused on encouraging self-acceptance in a way that aligns with BASIC biology. While I respect different perspectives, I think it would have been more meaningful if Chace guided his little brother to embrace who he truly is, as a man, rather than encouraging a different path. That said, I still admire the bond between Chace and Mateo as BROTHERS, something I can relate to as I have a sibling myself. ( I have a sister, so we share sisterhood )

At first I thought you were just being ignorant but I realized you're just a massive hypocrite. 

It's interesting that you like playing lgbt games but you draw the line at transwomen. Mainstream biology also says that men are attracted to women but you don't seem to have a problem with boy's love. There's also a non-binary character in another game you played but you don't have a problem with them deviating from their "natural identity". 

So you're okay with lgbt only when it's queer men that you can fetishize?

I really loved this visual novel! I wasn't familiar at all with Filipino culture before, but now I'm interested. I don't have much to say, it was just really satisfying to play this game.

Aww, thank you so much for playing and for your kind words! 😊 We're really happy you enjoyed it! It means a lot to us that the game sparked your interest in Filipino culture. We're planning on launching a big DLC for A Tropical Christmas on November 2025 🌊 🎄We hope you stay tuned! 😁

I really enjoyed the story—it was so relatable! The part where they went to church during Christmas reminded me of my own family, as we also go to church and eat kakanin after the mass. 

Every character was unique, but my favorite was Maja, the matchmaker for the two lovebirds I was rooting for the whole time and was so happy they ended up together in the end.

The story was amazing, the voice acting was incredible. I also loved how well the trans representation was executed—it added so much to the story. The friendships were heartwarming, and my favorite moment was when they cosplayed Dragon Hearts. There were lots of funny moments, some sad ones, and a surprising twist at the end that made me laugh, I’d love to work remotely someday too—wahhh!

Overall, it was a wonderful experience,

the story is very lovely. i love love how it's very unapologetically filipino. i love the trans representation and how it's executed well. i love a good friendship moment. i'm also a sucker for a good family ending trope.
there are a lot of funny moments, and some scenes that made me sad.
the voice acting is also phenomenal. i rarely see a visual novel that is fully voiced. and you guys did it for FREE.  thank you very much!
kudos!

SPOILERS:
i loved the ending. it's funny and makes a great twist FOR me personally
I enjoyed the cameo of Dragon's heart as well. And also Reflection Link. love seeing artists supporting artists!
