How it feels

A clever, hand-drawn comedy adventure full of satirical humor and tricky puzzles set in a trash-filled dystopian world.

What players say

Players praise Deponia's humor, worldbuilding, and art style, but opinions split on the main character and jokes. Many report game-breaking bugs, especially the magnet board softlock that blocks progress. Puzzles are often called unintuitive, with many recommending a guide.
