Congrats on the English version Cali!!! Ily :)
My only complain is that due to the language you can't make the "XENOS de hombre" joke QwQ.
Thank you Zaap!! ly2!
HAHAHA there are a bunch of jokes that I can't make now!
Our English speaking friends will need to come up with their XENO-related jokes haha
Caligaes is one of the most promising indie creators from Mexico, and XENO is a one-of-a-kind game that guarantees an unparalleled experience. Plus, this bundle, which includes all available content, is an absolute bargain.
Thank you Bishop!!! As always!
A GREAT GAME! WE NEED MORE EXPANSIONS!
Thank you! I have more XENOS and a new adventure coming (hopefully) soon!
Awesome art and layout, Caligaes.

Thank you! There's more to come!
The hardest part of this game is playing it and not having a blast.
Thank you!!
