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 oneβs 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?
replaying this again π₯° im such a sucker for visual novels showing family love. i love the story so much. i love the songs as well! i'll also be replaying this again this coming christmas!
THE VOICE ACTING IS PHENOMENAL FOR A FREE GAME
PS: I love how natural the trans rep is!
Thank you so much! We really appreciate your kind words! ππ We hope you stay tuned!
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! π 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 π πWe hope you stay tuned! π

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, Iβd love to work remotely someday too—wahhh!
Overall, it was a wonderful experience,
Thank you Rai! Aww thank you! We really enjoyed making this game. We're so glad that you enjoyed it too! β€οΈβπ₯
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!
