We Love It's Guide to…

Deponia

Deponia is a hand-drawn point-and-click adventure set on a planet buried in garbage. You play as Rufus, a self-appointed schemer who dreams of escaping to the wealthy floating city above. When a woman from that city lands on Deponia, Rufus sets out to help her return. Explore junk-built settlements, inspect objects, talk with eccentric residents, and gather items from each location. Progress comes from using what you find to solve environmental puzzles and open new paths through the story. Rufus can combine inventory items and try them on people and objects, while dialogue and character interactions reveal more of the world. Comic-style 2D scenes, animated sequences, and voiced conversations carry the adventure forward.

On a junkyard planet, would-be escapee Rufus explores, talks, and combines scrap to solve puzzles after a woman falls from the sky.

From the Devs

Daedalic Entertainment, once called “Lucasarts from Germany“ by the GameStar magazine, invites the players into a fantastic comedy adventure that revolves around a crazy love story of Rufus and Goal.

In Deponia, the world has degenerated into a vast garbage dump, in which the crotchety Rufus ekes out his sorry existence. He is part of the lowest social class, doomed to live his life in literal mountains of trash. He hopes for an opportunity to get into the world of the rich, who live in a floating city high above the clouds. Fate seems to smile on the snotty good-for-nothing when one day the attractive lady named Goal from the higher sector plummets into one of the trash heaps. Rufus decides to help the young woman out by taking her back to her husband. When he notices that Goal's husband is a dead ringer for himself, he hatches a diabolical scheme to gain access to the upper world. However, things don't work out quite as planned, since he has feelings for the beauty which limits his usual unscrupulousness.

Help Rufus, the poor boy from the junkyard, to win over the girl from heaven. Only with this rich girl from his dreams he might be able to escape Deponia and, unexpectedly, to save the planet.
