Deponia

Deponia is a fast-paced, twist-filled comedy of errors and one of gaming’s most unusual love stories. Its offbeat cast travels across the trash planet Deponia, a distinctive adventure 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 shadowy corners of the elevated planetary railways, this adventure from the creators of The Whispered World, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout, and A New Beginning comes alive with detailed hand-painted widescreen backgrounds and high-quality cartoon animation.

Rufus is not a pleasant guy. Bad-tempered and far too impressed with himself, he lives on the outskirts of a small settlement in the remotest sector of Deponia—a planet buried in trash. He dreams of escaping to the floating cities of wealth and beauty high above the surface. When the angelic Goal crashes down from those privileged spheres into a nearby junk heap, Rufus sees his opportunity. He sets out to return the unconscious beauty to her home. What begins as a faint hope of getting off Deponia turns into an unscrupulous scheme when he discovers he is the spitting image of Goal’s upper-class husband. And the handover is only the start of a frantic, twist-filled chase across Deponia, packed with surprising turns and baffling mix-ups.
