About Universe For Sale
Universe for Sale is a hand-drawn adventure game set in the dense clouds of Jupiter, where sapient orangutans work as dockhands and mysterious cultists strip the flesh from their bones in order to reach enlightenment.
Explore all the nooks and crannies of a ramshackle colony on Jupiter. Rickety tea houses, strange oddity shops, and overworked mechanics garages abound in the picturesque and infamous shantytown that’s cropped up around the abandoned mine. Every new face, whether human, simian, skeletal or robotic, has a unique story to tell as they do their best to survive the acid rain pouring down.
The nameless master, intrigued by stories of Lila’s ability to create universes, finds her on a rainy night to discuss the unique power that she has. For something so awe-inspiring, she explains it like she’d explain how to brew coffee. But it isn’t just the master who wants to know more about Lila, who threatens to unravel the mystery at the heart of Universe for Sale.
So, choose a cup, find some ingredients and Lila will craft a universe down to your particular specifications. Only question is: You buying?
