It was meant to be the final game in the series, paying off everything established in the first game and developed in the second. The whole sexist, racist, gratuitous whatever thing is atrocious and sad.2013’s Goodbye Deponia is as the title suggests. These games are disgusting and I'm not even interested to beat them. I completed #1 and was midway through the #2 but I just can't take this any more. I see how people love these games on forums and in the reviews and I have no idea how that is even possible. It's a shame Deponia games turned out to be absolutely obnoxious because of the reasons you stated as well as many others. I was attracted to the games by an interesting anime-comic book art style which reminded me of Monkey Island 3 which I enjoyed quite a bit back in a day. People die, animals die, Goal is abused, Roofus swears. Happily, since I didn’t get involved with the game, I just don’t care about the dolphins.

Killing baby dolphins in order that Roofus opens his eyes is absurd, but it’s also stupid and very very unlikely.

That’s the problem, if you can’t identify, you don’t get involved. The main character is terrible, the narrator is too shallow. obviously, I can’t identify with anybody. They pushed the vice to the farthest.įor the risk that was taken by the designer, for the strange humour, for the love of getting fooled, I should like it, but yet I don’t. Deponia plays the player into doing everything he doesn’t want to do. Some games force occasionally the player into making stupid actions. It’s a bit like a puppet show with the children shouting 'he’s there ! behind !', but you are the villain, and the ending is bad. The fact that doc and Utz keep talking about how the bird is tortured without looking shows us who is holding the reins. The John Thomas episode is a good introduction to this humour (which I still need time to digest). The motivation of the designer was not just to be cruel, but to be *gratuitously* cruel. The reason for killing baby dolphins is only because Roofus is too stupid to notice the obvious cat flap on the door. The game points out that the baby dolphins are cute and intelligent, and their parents are depressed and are stated to be smarter than Roofus. Overall I think Rufus was a lot less likeable in this game than in the first one (where he also was a jerk, but a likeable one at least). Would have prefered if you could complete the game without killing (like in the old LucasArts adventure games where killing animals was possible, but optional). Searched a while to find a better solution for that puzzle, but it seems there isn't one. did Daedalic manage to make one type of absurd point and click that is incompatible with me? If you keep on playing, you won't be happy about a scene with three cute little baby dolphins later on in the game. That’s highly frustrating, I love point and clicks, I love absurd. What is the point about playing a humorous game if you can’t stop mourning throughout it? killing is badong, I played a bit more of the game hoping that John Thomas would have survived, then I searched the forum about it, couldn’t find any clue. Boumbh: Am I the only one who was shocked at the beginning of Chaos on Deponia when it makes you kill the bird? Is 'picking up a hammer' a reason good enough for killing a living creature?
