Description
Rufus is not a pleasant guy. Ill-tempered and entirely too convinced of his own greatness, he lives at the edge of a small settlement somewhere in the most remote sector of the garbage-covered planet Deponia. He dreams of a better life in the floating cities of wealth and beauty high above the planet surface. When the angelic Goal falls from these privileged spheres down into a neighboring trash heap, Rufus sees his chance. He decides to bring the unconscious beauty back to her home. Only a vague hope of making it off Deponia at first, he soon formulates an unscrupulous plan, as he learns that he is a dead ringer for Goal’s upper-class husband. The planned handover is only the beginning of a wild chase across Deponia full of twists, turns and mystifying mix-ups.

Deponia is a fast-paced comedy of errors and one of the most unusual love stories in gaming history. The twist-filled story takes its off-beat characters all over trash planet Deponia, a unique game world in the style of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and Matt Groening. From Kuvaq, an improvised village built inside a giant trash heap, to the swimming black market and the dark corners of the elevated planetary railways: The new adventure game from the makers of The Whispered World, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout and A New Beginning is brought to life with detailed hand-painted backgrounds in widescreen format and top-quality cartoon animation.

  • Unique comic style with hand-drawn HD resolution 2D graphics.
  • Bizarre characters and wacky humor.
  • Challenging puzzles and hours of dialogue.
  • Unique universe in the tradition of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and Matt Groening.
  • From the creators of the award-winning games Edna & Harvey: The Breakout, Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes, and The Whispered World.

An excellent Classic Adventure Game

A great point and click adventure and as from this moment, one of my favorites. It's riddles, while logical, they are not to be considered easy. The dystopic world of Deponia and the promise of a heavenly paradise for the protagonist makes you travel in your mind's eye to that (far future?) world. The characters are lovable and the story well driven. Loved it.

Broken sword this is not

Credit where credit is due, the art style is great, and the musical score fits nicely, unfortunately the main character is unbearable, selfish, selfcentered and absolutely unaware of how annoying he is, is hard to root for someone like that, Even if you put up with the cringe, the centralmechanics of the game are not great, there are some very obtuse puzzles, you can see the end goal, but the steps can be mired in moon logic, that requires luck more than brute force, so be ready to use a guide, which sucks away what little magic there is in the experience.

Good ol fun.

It's as good an adventure game as there ever was. Glad this type of gameplay didn't die out. The puzzles aren't terrible, but if you get stuck, holding the spacebar or the middle mouse key shows all hotspots on the screen. No more pixel hunting! Yay! Downside is the cliffhanger ending, but a sequel is already set for release. Just hope it comes out on GOG too. I'm not going to buy it if it's on steam.

Feels Like a LucasArts Classic

This is the best adventure game I've played in a long while, and now one of my all time favorites. The humor in this is spot-on, as well as the English voice acting. It feels like a Monkey Island game. Better, in fact. The humor isn't toned down for the kids, and the jokes and situations are more frequently chuckle-worthy. My only complaints are the, inconsistent audio levels, the sometimes choppy performance and the difficulty of understand lyrics in between chapters. I usually hate having subtitles on, but this game pretty much required them for me to feel like I got everything out of it. Still, none of this was enough to knock it down a star. This is still one of the best comedic adventure games ever made.
