NOTE: Xenologia is a Kinetic Visual Novel, which focuses on telling one linear narrative with no branching paths or choices.

Life’s not easy in the year 2044. Everyone’s jobs are being replaced by robots. The cost of living is through the roof. Big Tech companies run the world (Nobody can prove it, but everyone knows it’s true). 

Things look hopeless for Cory, a young musician who can’t catch a break. His band just fell apart. He just lost his job. It won’t be long before he’s on the streets. But who can blame him? No young man can be expected to succeed in the year 2044 when the world is entirely rigged against him. ...Right?

At his wit's end, Cory has nowhere left to turn. That is... Until he stumbles across an alien girl.

Rei is an alien from another planet who came to Earth on a mission. She brought with her technology so advanced that it’d put every Big Tech company out of business overnight. 

The problem is: She doesn’t trust anyone, let alone this hapless musician who found her stranded in the woods. 

If Cory can learn to earn her trust, the two of them might have a chance at fixing this screwed up world... If only they can learn to fix themselves first.
