Unveiling "Universe for Sale": A captivating visual novel amidst Jupiter's enigmatic bazaar

Akupara Games and Tmesis Studio's latest adventure, Universe for Sale, is now available. Following on the heels of successful titles like The Darkside Detective series and Zoeti, this new game promises a unique experience.

Is the Universe Really for Sale?

Set on a Jupiter space station, the game unfolds within a bizarre, acid-rain-soaked bazaar. Orangutans with surprisingly sharp wit work the docks, and cultists trade flesh for spiritual enlightenment. The universe itself is for sale, thanks to Lila, a woman with the unusual ability to create universes from her very hands.

The game begins in a mining colony's shantytown, where you play as the Master, a skeletal cultist from the Cult of Detachment. Your exploration leads you to Honin's Tea House, Lila's shop, where a captivating mystery unfolds as you switch between Lila's and the Master's perspectives.

As Lila, you engage in a mini-game, crafting mesmerizing universes by mixing and matching ingredients. As the Master, you delve into the philosophies of the Cult of Detachment and encounter the Church of Many Gods. The narrative builds, prompting players to theorize about the unfolding events. Each character, whether human, skeletal, or robotic, possesses a unique story, and the richly detailed world invites thorough exploration.
