Deponia Doomsday

The game follows the principles of a classic point-and-click adventure: the user controls Rufus as he travels across highly detailed backgrounds as the plot continues. Rufus can startup conversations with other characters and put items in his inventory for later use. These items, combined or not, are used to solve puzzles and advance the story. Furthermore, the game has some optional minigames.

The Elysian Goal summarises the history Elysium, a spaceship which was meant to reach a new planet by blowing up Deponia, the trash planet it orbits. Things changed unexpectedly thanks to Rufus, a Deponian who sacrificed himself to prove to Elysium the planet is inhabited, making the original plan unconscionable. Goal finishes her story but wonders what she would change if she were able to travel back in time and if these actions could lead to a better ending to her story.

The game shows Elysium falling onto a snow covered Deponia, where an old Rufus, who somehow survived, is followed by Fewlocks (a parody of the Morlocks from H. G. Wells 1895 novel, The Time Machine). Rufus then activates the mechanism to explode the planet.

Deponia Doomsday received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.

Adam Beck of Hardcore Gamer gave the game a 3.5 out of 5 saying, "Deponia Doomsday is a charming adventure that brings back all the humor from the past, but derives its puzzles on obscurities and trial and error."
