Akupara Games and Tmesis Studio's latest adventure, Universe for Sale, is now available. Akupara Games has already released several captivating titles this year, including The Darkside Detective series and Zoeti.
Is the Universe Really on the Market?
The game unfolds on a Jupiter space station, a bizarre marketplace shrouded in acid rain and mystery. Here, witty orangutans manage the docks, and cultists barter flesh for enlightenment.
Lila, a woman capable of conjuring universes from her hand, is the reason the universe is for sale.
The game begins in a dilapidated mining colony shantytown. You play as the Master, a skeletal cultist from the Cult of Detachment – a character both unsettling and intriguing.
Exploring the ramshackle colony, with its quirky tea shops and other unusual establishments, leads you to Honin's Tea House, Lila's shop. Her enigmatic nature gradually unfolds as you shift between her perspective and the Master's throughout the game.
As Lila, you create universes in a captivating mini-game, blending ingredients to craft mesmerizing visual worlds. Meanwhile, the Master's journey delves into the philosophies of the Cult of Detachment and encounters the Church of Many Gods.
The narrative unfolds gradually, prompting players to theorize about the overarching mystery. Every character, be it human, skeletal, or robotic, possesses a unique story, and the richly detailed world encourages exploration.
