Universe for Sale, a point and click virtual novel is out now!
https://youtu.be/EwwqcNjSbrc
Follow the adventures of a cultist, whose past is written on his face and bones, visiting a space colony nestled in the clouds on Jupiter. Under a failing shield against acid rain, rebellion foments in the discarded populace of this abandoned mining settlement.
Within this mysterious community, a young woman crafts universes in the same way you or I might brew a cup of tea. She has a little shop tucked away in the ramshackle bazaar. What universe will you buy there?
Heading into launch, Universe for Sale won Best Art at BIG 2023 for its stunning hand drawn art and also took home Best Narrative at the Overcome Film Game Awards for its heart wrenching storytelling!

Universe for Sale coming out on November 16th
Hey cultist,
Universe for Sale now has a release date! On November 16th we will be able to create universes and sell them on the market on Jupiter!
https://youtu.be/hfQoVg3ADT4
Visiting Jupiter in a space station nestled in the clouds, you’ll learn the mysteries of the colony and the people that live under the failing shield protecting the colony from acid rain. A cultist meets a young woman with the ability to craft universes from liquids and depending on what is in that liquid changes the contents of the universe.
Universe for Sale won Best Art at BIG 2023 + Best Narrative at Overcome Film Game Awards!
It’s time to plan what type of universes you will design.

We reach the finals at the Big Indie Pitch!
We made it guys! We arrived 3rd at the Big Indie Pitch competition!! :) We had to present the project in "Elevator pitch mode ON" (5 minutes max) in different rooms to a diverse jury of journalists and experts in the field. I assure you that 5 minutes are very few to make the jury feel the universe we are creating ;) But they rewarded us with a nice third place!
