Universe for Sale Is a New Visual Novel Set in a Bizarre Bazaar on Planet Jupiter

Akupara Games and Tmesis Studio's latest adventure, Universe for Sale, is now available. Following intriguing titles like The Darkside Detective series and Zoeti, Akupara Games delivers another captivating experience.

Is the Universe Actually for Sale?

The game unfolds on a Jupiter space station, a bizarre bazaar shrouded in acid rain and mystery. Orangutans with surprising wit work the docks alongside cultists bartering flesh for enlightenment. The universe itself is for sale, thanks to Lila, a woman with the unusual ability to create universes from her hand.

The game begins in a mining colony's shantytown. You play as the Master, a skeletal cultist from the Cult of Detachment – a character both unsettling and captivating. Exploring the ramshackle colony, filled with quirky shops, leads you to Honin's Tea House, Lila's establishment. Lila's enigmatic nature unfolds as you shift between her perspective and the Master's throughout the gameplay.

Playing as Lila involves creating universes, a mini-game where you combine ingredients to generate visually stunning worlds. The Master's journey delves into the Cult of Detachment's philosophies and encounters with the Church of Many Gods.

The narrative gradually unfolds, prompting speculation about the underlying mystery. Each character, be it human, skeletal, or robotic, possesses a unique story, and the richly detailed world encourages thorough exploration.
