[h1]Tentative thumbs-up[/h1] [b]I was initially unimpressed by Universe 25, but it sort of won me over by the end[/b]. I discovered this game in the Hitcents Big Adventure Event of 2022, and was absolutely mystified by the store page. When I discovered this game, Universe 25 had NO AUDIO on the store page trailer. It had no guides. It had only 2 reviews (both positive). Despite following the adventure genre pretty closely, I had never heard of the game or its developer, and some google searching turned up close to 0 results - nothing about its release, no reviews, no dev website, no twitter chatter, nothing except a youtube video from 2019 showing a short demo playthrough of an early build. Even the steam forums only had one or two posts, and these were mostly just musings on the strangely small internet presence of the game. With a super reasonable $2 price tag, I did what anyone would do in that situation, [b]I took a gamble[/b]. [b]Right out of the gate, I hit some technical issues[/b]. Currently, the game does not properly launch via the Steam client after a clean install. Fortunately, this can be permanently fixed with a 3-second tweak in the game directory. The gam…

This is simply a nice and cheap game. It's quite enjoyable and it has some kinda difficult puzzles that don't always make sense. The game is small, but with a decent story. It has a few bugs here and there, but nothing too important. It doesn't get much attention, so buy it and see for yourself how much fun it is. Till next time, don't forget to point & click!

I don't usually write reviews, but I feel like this game is getting no attention. Its been okay to play so far. I have only had to two glitches where I had to click multiple times on an object for it to work. Other than that I would give the game a try. The price isn't bad either.

I loved it. Unfortunately, a bug that prevents launching the game from Steam means the recorded playtime is inaccurate, but the game itself is roughly two hours long. The humor is excellent, the conclusion is somewhat eerie, and it clearly ends with a sequel in mind—sadly, one that will likely never happen. The game is highly recommended if you enjoy The Curse of Monkey Island–style puzzles and humor.

Now that was fun! Interesting, and bizarre story, fairly tough puzzles, and pythonesque shenanigans ensure a pleasant couple of hours. Do yourself a favor and get this mini adventure. At its current price it's really a steal. There are a couple of small bugs, none ending in deadend, but make sure you save often if you don't want to be redoing things. Especially, make sure you save every time you are about to talk to Cassandra. Also, there's this problem with launching the game. You can launch it from the game folder, but I recommend checking out the Steam guide on how to fix the problem and launch the game properly from Steam, as this will also update it.

After 3 years, finally a new review! This surreal game is wonderful and should get way more attention. Before this I played 'Elroy and the Aliens' and I was very disappointed. Luckily, this game lifted my point-and-click spirits again. BUY and PLAY this game now! If you're getting stuck, there's a guide in the Community Hub. It's probably about 5-6 hours.
