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.<\/p>\n<p>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 <em>Deponia <\/em>reads: &#8220;Rufus decides to help the young woman out by taking her back to her husband. When he notices that Goal&#8217;s husband is a dead ringer for himself, he hatches a diabolical scheme to gain access to the upper world. However, things don&#8217;t work out quite as planned, since he has feelings for the beauty which limits his usual unscrupulousness.<\/p>\n<p>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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/deponia-1.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;Daedalic Entertainment&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/deponia-1.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/deponia-1.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/deponia-1.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/deponia-1.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/deponia-1.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/deponia-1.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A screenshot of a junk house in Deponia\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/deponia-1.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/deponia-1.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">A screenshot of a junk house in Deponia<\/figcaption><small class=\"body-img-caption\">Daedalic Entertainment<\/small><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>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, <em>Deponia <\/em>is the epitome of a hidden gem, and it can be yours for absolutely free right now.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, but over on Steam, <em>Deponia <\/em>currently sits at a &#8216;Very Positive&#8217; rating after racking up over 3,000 reviews, with one positive write-up describing it as &#8220;Quirky.
