How it feels

A screwball point-and-click adventure with dark humour, hand-drawn steampunk visuals, and a dense, atmospheric puzzle-filled world that feels like a comic escape room.

What players say

Players who liked the first Deponia get more of the same humor and puzzle logic, but the puzzles still rely on moon logic. Many report unpatched bugs on modern systems, notably a broken Russian text display and unresponsive inventory clicks. Fans call it the best entry for its character development and engaging story, though the global plot barely advances.
