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 can create universes from her hand.
Is the Cosmos Truly for Sale?
The game begins in a mining colony's 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.
Playing as Lila involves a mini-game of universe creation, blending ingredients to produce visually stunning worlds. As the Master, you delve into the philosophies of the Cult of Detachment and encounter the Church of Many Gods. The narrative builds intrigue as you unravel the overarching mystery, encountering diverse characters—human, skeletal, robotic—each with their own story. The game world is richly detailed, rewarding exploration.
