Universe For Sale is a unique hand-drawn adventure game from Akupara Games that opens a surreal and poetic world amidst the dense atmosphere of Jupiter. In a strange market where talking orangutans work as porters, and strange believers sacrifice their flesh in pursuit of enlightenment, a woman is secretly crafting… new universes. Her name is Lila. The game begins when a mysterious visitor comes to Lila, not for tea, but to buy something no one thought was for sale: a custom-made universe.
A cinematic and meditative fantasy
Universe For Sale takes players to a ruined colony – where acid rain-soaked alleys hide old tea shops, crowded garages, and strange shops selling items of unknown use. Each character you meet, be they human, machine, or ape, has a unique and dark story. The slow pace of the game, like a walk in the mind, allows you to reflect on faith, life, and the value of intangible things. It is in this absurd and abstract context that the game feels very human.
A philosophical dialogue with images and choices
Universe For Sale’s gameplay focuses on exploration, dialogue, and interaction with the world through emotions and choices. Deep conversations open up space for philosophy, skepticism, and empathy. You must not only listen, but also decide how you react to those strange pieces. Behind the fantastical shell are existential questions – what makes a world? And why would anyone need a universe created by someone else? The game does not force you to answer, but it definitely makes you think.
Vivid hand-drawn art, floating music
Universe For Sale does not follow modern techniques but chooses a mesmerizing hand-drawn expression. Each frame is like a surreal painting, both warm and unsettling. The sound in the game is equally magical, when the sound of falling rain blends with the gentle background music as if floating in space. Every step, every word, every look of the character is carefully crafted to convey subtle emotions. This is a game for those who love beauty, love uncertainty and seek depth rather than action.
