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

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 for Sale?

The game unfolds on a Jupiter space station, a bizarre, atmospheric bazaar shrouded in acid rain and mystery. Orangutans with surprisingly sharp wit work the docks, and cultists trade flesh for enlightenment. The universe itself is for sale, thanks to Lila, a woman with the unique ability to create universes from her very palm.

The game begins in the 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, filled with quirky tea shops and other unusual establishments, you eventually encounter Honin’s Tea House, Lila’s shop. Lila’s mysterious nature gradually unfolds as you shift between her perspective and the Master's throughout the game.

Playing as Lila allows you to create universes in a captivating mini-game, combining ingredients to generate 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 unfolding events. Every character, whether human, skeletal, or robotic, possesses a unique story, and the richly detailed world invites exploration of every corner.
