Akupara Games and Tmesis Studio's latest adventure, Universe for Sale, is now available! Akupara Games continues its streak of intriguing titles following the success of The Darkside Detective series and Zoeti.
Is the Universe Actually for Sale?
Set on a Jupiter space station, this bizarre bazaar is shrouded in acid rain and mystery. Expect witty orangutans working the docks and cultists bartering flesh for enlightenment. The universe itself is on the market, thanks to Lila, a woman with the unique ability to create universes from her very hand.
The game begins in a ramshackle mining colony shantytown, where you play as the Master, a skeletal cultist from the Cult of Detachment. Your journey leads you through quirky shops to Honin's Tea House, Lila's establishment, where a compelling mystery unfolds as you shift between Lila's and the Master's perspectives.
Playing as Lila involves a universe-creation minigame, where you combine ingredients to generate stunning visual worlds. The Master's storyline delves into the philosophies of the Cult of Detachment and encounters with the Church of Many Gods.
The narrative builds intrigue as you unravel the overarching mystery. Each character, whether human, skeletal, or robotic, possesses a unique story, enriching the richly detailed world.
