Deponia is a trilogy: The multiple award winning series of point & click adventure games tells three ludicrous stories, set on the trash planet of Deponia and its bizarre surroundings: While Deponia’s regular inhabitants are forced to live on the planet’s trashy surface, the – literal – „upper class“ enjoys bliss and luxury on the space ship „Elysium“. Between both castes resides the Organon on giant monorail cruisers. The Organon is a group of grim officers controlling the fate of both the inhabitants of Deponia as well as Elysium.
Anti-hero Rufus lives on the Deponia surface, between junk and recycled things. All he dreams of is finding his way to Elysium, to finally leave what he thinks of is a stupid live. He’s an inventor and nothing can stop him from coming up with ideas for machines that will take him up on the space ship.
However, no matter how hard he tries – he never actually had any success yet, and all he makes it to is the Organon level of things. There, he meets Goal, a beautiful girl from Elysium, whom Rufus takes for being his ticket to paradise.
Deponia is a series of hand-drawn 2D comic point & click adventure games, full of sarcastic dialogues and black humor.

The third Deponia adventure, Goodbye Deponia, is scheduled for release in October 2013.
