Featuring a stunning artstyle, hilarious dialogue, and puzzles galore, this 2012 hit is now free to download and keep forever courtesy of Steam, making the perfect way to spend the upcoming weekend.
Developed and published by Daedalic Entertainment, Deponia is now free to keep thanks to Steam’s current Daedelic Days event, which runs from 13-27 August. Showcasing all that the publisher, and former developer, has to offer, Deponia is one such example, and if you missed out on it back in 2012, now is your perfect time to make up for missed time.
In Deponia, the world has degenerated into a vast garbage dump, in which the crotchety Rufus ekes out his sorry existence.
Available for free until 20 August, Deponia is set in a world where everything has degenerated into a vast garbage dump. We follow the story of Rufus, who, thanks to being part of the lowest social class, has to live out his life surrounded by trash. However, he dreams of the city that floats above and luckily, fate soon smiles upon him.
Upon meeting Goal, an attractive woman who finds herself in the slums alongside him, Rufus soon discovers that fate may just require a bit of cunning. As the official synopsis for Deponia reads: “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.”
Featuring a unique comic book art style with hand drawn animation and 2D graphics, whacky and wild humor which will have you laughing out loud, challenging puzzles and hours of dialogue, Deponia is the epitome of a hidden gem, and it can be yours for absolutely free right now.
Not only that, but over on Steam, Deponia currently sits at a ‘Very Positive’ rating after racking up over 3,000 reviews, with one positive write-up describing it as “Quirky. Challenging. Niche.”
So, if you are on the search for a hidden gem to get stuck into this weekend, look no further than Deponia, which is completely free to download and keep up until 20 August.
