About the Game
Released in 2012, Deponia is a dieselpunk adventure set in a world covered in trash. Players control Rufus, a citizen attempting to escape his life in the slums by helping a woman who has descended from the elite class. The game features 2D hand-drawn illustrations and has been compared by critics to classic LucasArts titles. It typically takes about eight hours to complete.
Player Advice
While the game is well-regarded for its humor and dialogue, current players suggest two points of caution. Many users recommend utilizing a walkthrough for the game's puzzles, as they can be challenging to navigate without assistance. Additionally, some users have reported a game-breaking bug early in the adventure; saving your progress frequently is recommended to avoid losing progress.
The giveaway is part of a broader promotion from developer Daedalic Entertainment, which will host a broadcast at 9 p.m. CEST on August 13 to showcase updates and new titles. Several other games from the publisher are also currently on sale on the platform.
