How to play Xenosaga Freaks on Mac
Game summary
Xenosaga Freaks was only released in Japan and it contains 2 games, an Encyclopedia of terms used in Xenosaga Episode 1, and a demo for Xenosaga Episode 2.
The main game is XenoComi, an illustrated and voice acted text adventure. It has 6 scenarios to go through involving the main characters from Episode 1 and a 7th is unlocked when the other 6 have been played. It takes place at some point during Episode 1 and is much more light hearted. It focuses on the events caused by a rampaging cat-eared KOS-MOS and the event that led to the situation.
The other game is Kotoba no Puzzle: Xenopittan, a Xenosaga themed word puzzle game. Based off the game Kotoba no Puzzle: Mojipittan.

Play Xenosaga Freaks on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Xenosaga Freaks on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
