Akupara Games and Tmesis Studio have launched their latest adventure game, *Universe for Sale*. Akupara Games, known for intriguing titles like *The Darkside Detective* series and *Zoeti*, continues to push boundaries with this new release.
*Universe for Sale* transports players to a space station orbiting Jupiter, a planet shrouded in mystery and thick with acid rain. This bizarre bazaar in the air is home to witty orangutans working the docks and cultists seeking enlightenment through unconventional means.
The universe in question is up for sale thanks to Lila, a remarkable woman with the ability to create universes effortlessly from the palm of her hand. The game begins as you, a skeletal figure known as the Master from the Cult of Detachment, land in the shantytown of a mining colony. This setting is both eerie and captivating.
As you explore the ramshackle colony, filled with quirky tea and oddity shops, you eventually find yourself at Honin’s Tea House, which is Lila’s shop. Here, you delve into Lila's mysterious world, switching between her perspective and that of the Master throughout the game.
Playing as Lila involves a captivating mini-game where you mix and match ingredients to create mesmerizing universes. On the other hand, as the Master, you delve deeper into the philosophies of the Cult of Detachment and encounter the Church of Many Gods.
The narrative unfolds progressively, inviting players to theorize about the underlying mysteries. Every character, whether human, skeletal, or robotic, has a compelling story to tell, enriching the world with intricate details waiting to be explored.
