Hey cultists,

We have just released a patch which changes the save system in Universe for Sale which makes them more stable.

Unfortunately, saves from before this patch can’t be carried over to this new save system. We have opened a beta branch which will allow players to continue saves from before this patch.

To join the beta branch follow these steps.

1. Right click Universe for Sale on the side bar and click properties
   
2. Click the Beta tab in the Steam window that opens up
   
3. In the drop down menu in Beta Participation, select "old-savegame"
   
4. Steam should start downloading the branch automatically and you’ll be on the old save system again!

Thank you all for working with us.

We are happy to tell you that our next update will significantly improve the game's stability!

However, to achieve this, we had to change how the game saves progress completely. The old saving system caused many issues.

We advise you to update to the newest version when we release it shortly. But, doing so means you will lose your existing save progress.

If you want to keep playing on your current save, we've moved this game version (1.0.5z) to the "old-savegame" branch on Steam.

Please set this in your Steam game settings!

Hey cultists,

We have released a patch to fix some of the various softlocks that have been reported plus fixing the steam overlay appearing upside down.

• War Chapter: players should now be able to progress past shooting the first set of robots.
  
• Game shouldn't softlock when clicking haphazardly when entering rooms.
  
• Lila’s Market: softlocks in various places of this chapter should be resolved.
  
• Teahouse: players should no longer softlock during the first universe making scene.
  
• Fixed small graphical bugs and typos
  
• Steam overlay no longer appears upside down when notifications pop up.

Hello Cultists,

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!
