Deponia - izigame

Game Info

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.

i ended up binging through the whole game as of recently and i ADORE it. this was my first point and click game and i had a fantastic experience playing throughout Deponia. i immediately fell in love with this game back in 2016 due to the appearance of the protagonist, the art direction and overall vibes of the story and then recently rediscovered it.
Deponia is an extremely unique adventure game and allows you to think outside of the box with its puzzles. people may have their opinions with it, but i personally really like thinking! the narrative of the game is incredibly well thought out and charming, feeling lighthearted and silly but also knowing when to be serious and emotionally driven when it wants to be. the art direction for this game is WONDERFUL, and really reminds me of my favorite time era and aesthetics in media. the character designs, environments and soundtrack are perfectly crafted for this game.
allow me to introduce a controversial opinion, but i LOVE Rufus as a character. i think he is a unique character with a personality that sticks out compared to most protagonists. it feels very refreshing seeing a dude who differs to the typical trope of "overly outgoing, innocent and goody two-shoes" in one. he feels like a really unique take on a bastard anti-hero. he's meant to be the worst in everyone else's eyes, yet you can't help but see that charm in him. his actions and gestures throughout the story are quick to pick up on and i couldn't help but really enjoy seeing how his chaotic views on everything around him unfolds. right at the end, it was really impact seeing how he has a slight in his desires of wanting to leave Deponia to instead end up help saving it because other people see it as their home. he aspires for something new, but ultimately falls back to help those who he remembers that want to keep their home. i truly love this guy.
this was an incredibly fun game and i haven't had this much fun with a game in a really long time. i highly recommend you check out Deponia! onward to the rest of the franchise. HUZZAH, HE'S OFF NOW GOODBYE! <3

Storyline

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…
