What is Deponia?

Deponia is a single-player, 2D point-and-click adventure set on a garbage-covered world beneath a floating city for the wealthy. You explore, talk to characters, and solve puzzles as Rufus tries to reach the city after a woman from above falls into the junkyard.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy slow adventures built around exploration and dialogue
  • +you like absurd comedy in hand-drawn worlds
  • +you want to work through challenging puzzles

Not for you if...

  • −you want fast-paced action instead of point-and-click puzzles
  • −you need a protagonist you can easily root for
