Good start that goes nowhere in sequels
Point and click adventure games live or die based on 3 primary aspects: World, puzzles and protagonist. This game (series) gets 2/3 of those mostly right. I haven't finished the 3rd game (nor do I intend to). The world of Depnonia is basically a giant garbage heap. This gives the artists the freedom to draw lots of bizzare locations cluttered with all sorts of wonderful junk and eccentric people. The art is gorgeous and the personality of the world comes to life with each new screen and interaction with the populace. I found myself staring at various locales just taking in the sights. The puzzles are mostly ok. Some of them can be rather obtuse, but that's true of all point and clicks. I don't feel they ever got as bad as some of the worst in Discworld. There are some that involve minigames, but the game lets you skip those entirely if you get too frustrated, which is a good option to have (never needed to use that feature). There is, however, a game breaking bug in one of the puzzles. The player character completely dissapears and the game locks up. The developer's claim to have fixed it, but ultimately the solution was to go to their website and download a new save file. Hmm. Not ideal. The protagonist is where the game falters. Rufus is completely unlikable. He's a total egotistical asshole. He frequently lies, steals, cheats and abuses everyone including his friends and the girl he (supposedly) fell in love with. He physically and mentally abuses her. He drops her, he lies to her, he tricks her, he actively chooses sub par medical supplies when trying to help her. He's just a jerk. I think he was designed intentionally annoying, but intentionally annoying is still annoying. I couldn't get behind him at all which is an issue because as the protagonist you spend the most time with him and every object you interact with he comments on and, eventually, he stopped being even kind of funny. (hint: he doesn't get better in the sequels)
