Sometimes, true love just falls from the sky!

Deponia, a gorgeous adventure game that feels like a cartoon based on works of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams, is now available on GOG.com for only $14.99 until Thursday, September 13 at 10:59 AM GMT.

Rufus would have been a nice guy, really. That is, if he wasn't such a self-important, all-knowing jerk. But hey! Living your whole life in the middle of a junkyard can do that to you. Why does he live in a junkyard, you might ask. Well, it's not like he had much choice. The whole surface of the planet Deponia is covered with a thick layer of trash. That's why our ambitious protagonist always dreamed of getting into one of the upper spheres, where the privileged part of Deponia's population leads a life full of luxurious bliss, probably even unaware of the garbage piles below. But everything is about to change, as a girl named Goal suddenly falls from the cities above with a warning of impending doom.

Deponia is a top-notch point-and-click adventure game from the makers of [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/the_whispered_world]The Whispered World[/url]. It combines the classic adventure game controls with beautiful cartoony graphics and heaps of brilliant humor. The garbage-filled planet Deponia, with all of its gadgets and gizmos, is one of the most captivating, original settings ever to be featured in a video game. With hundreds of challenging puzzles, tons of witty and skillfully enacted dialogs, and amazing cinematic cut-scenes, [url=]Deponia[/url] is a game that every adventure fan should experience.

Join Rufus and Goal on their voyage through the mystifyingly beautiful garbage-filled landscapes of Deponia, for only $14.99 in the release week!

Great! I played the demo last month and I knew I wanted it, but not from Steam.
So, thank you Gog, and in german too!

It's a very clever adventure game, just play the tutorial and you'll be hooked (yes! the tutorial!).

Tja, wie könnte man "instabuy" auf deutsch sagen? "Sofort-kaufen", "Blitzshopping"?... ;-)

Okay, I don't get that
... Just curious as to what's so bad about this type of visual style as I love it???
I understand him. I had a similar "problem" with A Vampyre Story, for example. Visuals like vampiric Cinderella with G-rated humour discouraged me. It's probably because I never really liked fairy tales.

Darn you GOG. I don't have time for good releases. As well as I need to save up on money anyway. Even if I did buy it, I would not have the time. However it looks awesome. Will probably pick it up later in the future on a sale.

Bloodygoodgames: And yet adults like comic books. How strange :)

Merchito: Well, I don't. Am I the only one?
Why did you edit out Achille Talon, cher compatriote? Talon is great, my favorite comic book character!
Can't go wrong with an indie adventure game as far as I am concerned, and it is relatively new too.

The thing that surprised me the most is the size, I mean 3 gigs? that has to be the biggest file size for any adventure game I ever seen.

I see comments like that all the time and I just don't understand why people don't like cartoons, as that's what it is. It's gorgeous, btw, and exactly the type of game I love to play.

And btw, I'm not being obnoxious :) Just curious as to what's so bad about this type of visual style as I love it???
you may have missed the fact that there are a lot of different visual styles within the cartoon and comic book genres. just because you like one style of cartoon you don't have to like all of them. some things just appeal to you aesthetically, others just don't.

Deponia has an art style similar to the Penny Arcade comics and games, and i simply cannot stand it.

The Whispered World or Satinav's Chains, on the other hand, i adore.

Because I suddenly realised that A. T. could only be known to French speaking people :) And there are very few of us on GOG's forums :)

Well, it's HD, quite long, fully voiced, and it comes with tons of high-resolution cut-scenes. There you have it :-)
so very cool!

Oh ye of little faith. I know of A.T. as well, we did have him here many years ago. Comics are known, though many of the better ones are not translated.

Yeaaaah! Another one! Let's start the A.T. fan club on GOG. Btw, in the american version, his name is Walter Melon. How's his name in Greek?

Sofortkauf. ;)

Too late for me, i already bought the Steam Version. But it is really nice to see, that GOG is sometimes able to deliver multilanguage versions. Maybe there is an opportunity to get other Daedalic Games or a Patch for The Whispered World in the future?
Looks very cool

But is there some sort of bug with the gamepage? I'm trying to add this game to my "Incredible Value" GOGmix and the game is not showing up in the search results from some reason

The same actually, ΑΧΙΛΛΕΑΣ ΤΑΛΟΝ, not sure how they pronounced the surname. The one with the horribly translated name was "Mortadelo y Filemon", which was translated as "Αντιρίξ και Συμφωνίξ", a (groan worthy) pun of "disagree and agree", trying to ride on Asterix's fame.
