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

Akupara Games and Tmesis Studio's latest offering, Universe for Sale, is a captivating adventure game set on a Jupiter space station. This bizarre, acid-rain-soaked bazaar is home to witty orangutans, cultists bartering flesh for enlightenment, and a woman named Lila who casually creates universes.

Is the Cosmos Truly for Sale?

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

Lila's gameplay involves a mesmerizing mini-game of universe creation, mixing and matching ingredients to generate visually stunning worlds. The Master's storyline delves into the philosophies of the Cult of Detachment and encounters with the Church of Many Gods.

The narrative unfolds gradually, prompting players to theorize about the underlying events. Each character, whether human, skeletal, or robotic, possesses a unique story, enriching the richly detailed world.
