"New Visual Novel 'Universe for Sale' Launches on Jupiter's Bizarre Bazaar"

Akupara Games and Tmesis Studio have unveiled their latest adventure, *Universe for Sale*. This year, Akupara Games has already delighted gamers with titles like *The Darkside Detective* series and *Zoeti*, setting the stage for another intriguing release.

Is the Universe Really for Sale?

The game unfolds on a space station orbiting Jupiter, enveloped in a bizarre bazaar where the air is thick with acid rain and mystery. Here, witty orangutans work the docks, and cultists trade flesh in pursuit of enlightenment. At the heart of the narrative is Lila, a woman with the astonishing ability to create universes from the palm of her hand.

As the game begins, you step into the shoes of the Master, a skeletal figure and a member of the Cult of Detachment, landing in a shantytown within a mining colony. The environment is both eerie and captivating, inviting you to explore ramshackle streets filled with tea shops and peculiar oddities until you reach Honin’s Tea House, Lila’s domain. Throughout the game, you alternate between Lila's and the Master's perspectives, unraveling the mystery that surrounds her.

Playing as Lila involves a captivating mini-game where you mix and match ingredients to craft mesmerizing visual universes. Conversely, as the Master, you delve into the philosophies of the Cult of Detachment and interact with the Church of Many Gods. The narrative deepens as you progress, prompting theories about the true nature of events. Each character, whether human, skeletal, or robotic, adds depth to the story, and the richly detailed world encourages thorough exploration.
