Evaluation
Deponia is a self-contained point-and-click adventure game that launched on August 6, 2012, and is the first entry in a completed four-game series. Over the years, the developer released periodic maintenance updates adding languages and fixing bugs — most recently on August 7, 2019, which added Arabic, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese subtitles alongside an engine update. That same date saw the release of the Developer Commentary DLC, the last piece of content added to the game. Both DLC items listed on the store (the Soundtrack and Developer Commentary) have been released. No further updates, announcements, or developer communications have followed since August 7, 2019. There is no roadmap, no unreleased DLC, and no indication of future content. The game is complete.

About this game
Daedalic Entertainment, once called “Lucasarts from Germany“ by the GameStar magazine, invites the players into a fantastic comedy adventure that revolves around a crazy love story of Rufus and Goal.
In Deponia, the world has degenerated into a vast garbage dump, in which the crotchety Rufus ekes out his sorry existence. He is part of the lowest social class, doomed to live his life in literal mountains of trash. He hopes for an opportunity to get into the world of the rich, who live in a floating city high above the clouds. Fate seems to smile on the snotty good-for-nothing when one day the attractive lady named Goal from the higher sector plummets into one of the trash heaps. 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.
