Epic Games Store is giving away an adventure indie game “Universe for Sale”. This game takes you to a whimsical inhabitable colony on the planet Jupiter.
Imagine floating high in the swirling clouds of Jupiter, where a rundown space station buzzes with odd folks buying and selling dreams. This is the wild world of Universe for Sale, a cozy hand-drawn adventure game that lets you craft entire universes like they’re cups of cosmic tea.
A Bizarre Bazaar in the Gas Giant
Universe for Sale drops you into a ramshackle colony nestled in Jupiter’s thick orange clouds. Once a busy mining outpost, it’s now home to sapient orangutans hauling cargo, chatty robots, and creepy cultists who peel off their skin for “enlightenment.” Rain patters endlessly, markets hum with life, and narrow alleys hide quirky shops full of secrets.
You switch between two main characters: Lila, a young woman with tentacle-like hair who brews universes in ceramic cups at her bazaar stall, and the Nameless Master, a skeletal cult leader obsessed with her powers. Lila chats with picky customers who want custom cosmos—like a peaceful paradise or a chaotic explosion. The Master sneaks around, piecing together the colony’s dark past through talks and clues.
The story unfolds in a non-linear way, jumping through time like shuffled vignettes. It starts confusing—a mom reading a poem to her kid—but builds into a heartfelt tale of loss, acceptance, and what makes a life worth living. Hints of Hindu philosophy and sci-fi weirdness add depth without overwhelming the cozy vibe.
Cozy Point-and-Click with a Twist
Gameplay is simple and relaxing, perfect for a rainy afternoon. It’s mostly point-and-click: wander alleys, click objects for stories, and chat with colorful locals like a wise orangutan named Bandar. Puzzles are light—find a battery here, mix ingredients there—but they fit the chill pace.
The star is Lila’s universe-crafting minigame. Customers pick a cup and describe their dream world. You grab two ingredients (like “stars” or “void”) and swirl them in her palm using picture hints. Too few moves? It’s a primitive blob. More swirls? Civilizations rise, planets form—it’s like watching evolution in fast-forward. Fail four times, and they walk away, but success earns coins to deck out Lila’s derelict ship home with plants and pillows.
No hardcore challenges—just pure creativity. Replay value comes from random scene order and achievements, like 100% completion guides on Steam.
Art and Sound That Pull You In
Veterans of underground European comics crafted every frame by hand. The style is gorgeous: fluid animations, moody oranges and grays, rain-slicked streets that feel alive. Lila’s stall glows warmly amid the gloom, and universes sparkle like mini firework shows.
Sound design shines too. Footsteps echo in churches, markets chatter, thunder rumbles. Composer Guglielmo Diana’s chill electronic score—symphonic yet futuristic—plays softly, with a jaunty tune for crafting you can mute for silence.
Conclusion
Dive into Jupiter’s clouds and snag your own universe. Whether free on Epic right now or a quick buy elsewhere, Universe for Sale reminds us: the best worlds are the ones we build ourselves. Are you ready to be the creator of the new universes?
