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

Akupara Games and Tmesis Studio have unleashed their latest adventure, Universe for Sale. Following on the heels of successful titles like The Darkside Detective series and Zoeti, Akupara Games continues to deliver intriguing and captivating experiences.

Is the Universe Really for Sale?

Set on a Jupiter space station, Universe for Sale plunges you into a bizarre, acid-rain-soaked bazaar brimming with mystery. Here, witty orangutans work the docks, and cultists barter flesh for enlightenment. The universe itself is for sale, thanks to Lila, a woman with the remarkable ability to create universes from her very palm.

The game begins in the shantytown of a mining colony, where you play as the Master, a skeletal cultist from the Cult of Detachment—a character both creepy and captivating. Exploring the ramshackle colony, filled with quirky tea shops and other oddities, you eventually stumble upon Honin’s Tea House, Lila’s shop, and a mystery begins to unfold as you shift between Lila's and the Master's perspectives.

Playing as Lila allows you to create universes in a mesmerizing mini-game, mixing and matching ingredients to build visually stunning 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 unfolds gradually, inviting players to theorize about the underlying mysteries. Each character, whether human, skeletal, or robotic, possesses a unique story, and the richly detailed world encourages exploration of every nook and cranny.
