Rufus is a self-styled inventor living on Deponia, a planet covered in junk. During an attempt to escape, he meets Goal, a woman from the floating city of Elysium, and sets out to get her back there while pursuing his own way off the planet.
Explore hand-drawn scenes, inspect objects, collect and combine items, and talk with eccentric characters to solve puzzles. Rufus’s plans lead through comic mishaps and occasional minigames, with solutions often relying on unconventional combinations and interactions.
The Complete Journey brings together the first three Deponia adventures. It includes a quest-log hint system, help screens for minigames, creator commentary, and the option to choose chapters after completing them.
Positive reviewers often enjoy the dark humor and dialogue, the cast of eccentric characters, and the distinctive illustrated junk-world setting. Some also praise the long-running story and the satisfaction of solving its unusual puzzles. Other reviews criticize the puzzles as obscure, and many report bugs that interfere with play or block progress; opinions on Rufus and the story’s ending also differ.
