Rufus is not a pleasant guy. Ill-tempered and entirely too convinced of
his own greatness, he lives at the edge of a small settlement somewhere
in the most remote sector of the garbage-covered planet Deponia. He
dreams of a better life in the floating cities of wealth and beauty high
above the planet surface. When the angelic Goal falls from these
privileged spheres down into a neighboring trash heap, Rufus sees
his chance. He decides to bring the unconscious beauty back to her home.
Only a vague hope of making it off Deponia at first, he soon formulates
an unscrupulous plan, as he learns that he is a dead ringer for Goal’s
upper-class husband. The planned handover is only the beginning of a
wild chase across Deponia full of twists, turns and mystifying mix-ups…


Deponia is a fast-paced comedy of errors and one of the most unusual
love stories in gaming history. The twist-filled story takes its
off-beat characters all over trash planet Deponia, a unique 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 dark corners of the elevated planetary
railways: The new adventure game from the makers of The Whispered World,
Edna & Harvey: The Breakout and A New Beginning is brought to life
with detailed hand-painted backgrounds in widescreen format and
top-quality cartoon animation.
