Universe for Sale

In a bizarre bazaar, there’s a worried woman crafting entire universes in the palm of her hand.

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?

The Darkside Detective

Grab your trench coat, tune your sixth sense and join the Darkside Division as they investigate the bizarre, the downright dangerous and the mildly confusing cases of Twin Lakes.

Welcome to Twin Lakes.

Where cultists crawl, where demons dwell, where the occult… occults? ahem That’s where you’ll find Detective Francis McQueen, the lead investigator of the criminally underfunded Darkside Division. When evil darkens the doorsteps of Twin Lakes City – hell, even when it just loiters around shop fronts or hangs out in shady alleyways – he’s there, ready to investigate the cases that nobody else will.

He is The Darkside Detective.

The COMPLETE SEASON ONE collection of this multi award-winning comedic serial adventure sees Detective McQueen and his sidekick, Officer Patrick Dooley, investigating cases plaguing Twin Lakes and its colorful citizens. Point at everything in sight, click around mysterious and eerie locations, and use your wits (or borrow a friend’s) to lay these cases to rest!
