Akupara Games and Tmesis Studio's latest adventure game, Universe for Sale, is now available. Following successful releases like The Darkside Detective series and Zoeti earlier this year, Akupara Games delivers another intriguing title.
Is the Cosmos Actually for Sale?
The game unfolds on a Jupiter space station, a bizarre marketplace shrouded in acid rain and mystery. Orangutans with surprising wit work the docks, and cultists barter flesh for enlightenment. The universe itself is for sale, thanks to Lila, a woman with the unusual ability to create universes from her hand.
The game begins in a mining colony's shantytown, where you play as the Master, a skeletal cultist from the Cult of Detachment. Exploring the ramshackle colony, filled with quirky shops, leads you to Honin's Tea House, Lila's establishment. The mystery surrounding Lila unfolds as you shift between her perspective and the Master's.
Playing as Lila involves a mini-game of universe creation, blending ingredients to produce visually stunning worlds. The Master's journey delves into the philosophies of the Cult of Detachment and encounters with the Church of Many Gods.
The narrative deepens as you progress, prompting speculation about the overarching plot. Each character, human, skeletal, or robotic, possesses a unique story, and the richly detailed world invites thorough exploration.
