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 and captivating experience.
Is the Universe Actually for Sale?
Set on a bizarre, acid-rain-soaked space station orbiting Jupiter, Universe for Sale introduces a world brimming with quirky characters and intriguing mysteries. Orangutans run the docks, and cultists barter flesh for enlightenment – it's a truly unusual bazaar.
The universe itself is for sale, thanks to Lila, a woman with the remarkable ability to create universes from her very hand. You begin the game as the Master, a skeletal cultist from the Cult of Detachment, landing in the ramshackle mining colony.
Explore the colony's peculiar shops and eventually discover Honin's Tea House, Lila's shop, where the central mystery begins to unfold. The narrative cleverly shifts between Lila's and the Master's perspectives, revealing their intertwined stories.
Playing as Lila involves a captivating mini-game: creating universes by mixing and matching ingredients to generate stunning visual worlds. Meanwhile, the Master's journey delves into the philosophies of the Cult of Detachment and encounters with the Church of Many Gods.
The narrative gradually reveals its secrets, encouraging players to theorize about the overarching plot. Every character, be it human, skeletal, or robotic, possesses a unique story, enriching the game's richly detailed world.

Stunning Hand-Drawn Art
Universe for Sale's hand-drawn art style is a major highlight, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. From the rain-lashed alleyways to the vibrant, self-created universes, every scene is visually captivating. Find the game on the Google Play Store.
