[[InAWorld On a junk planet called Deponia]], there lives a clever and ambitious but reckless and short-sighted fool named Rufus, who wants nothing more than to get off of Deponia and reach the beautiful flying city of Elysium in the sky. After his latest failed escape attempt, he manages to knock an Elysian girl called Goal off the cruiser she is traveling on to the surface below, breaking her brain implant in the process. This prompts her fiance to offer a reward for her return, giving the egotisical Rufus a way off the junk pile he calls a home. This leads him on an adventure where he takes his unconscious love from his home at Kuvaq across the junk filled world to the meeting with her fiance, all the while chased by the Organon with insidious plans for Goal & Deponia.
The rest of the cast includes a variety of colorful characters, almost all of whom hate or are casually contemptuous of Rufus. These include Toni, Rufus's ex-girlfriend; Wenzel, Rufus's best friend who laughs at his multiple attempts to escape; Cletus, Goal's Elysian fiance [[spoiler:who is a doppleganger of Rufus but with a goatee]]; and Doc, a handyman & brain surgeon who enjoys meditation and alchohol. Deponia is a point-&-click adventure game that was released in 2012 by Deadalic Entertainment.
A sequel titled "Chaos on Deponia" is in the works, and is due for release November 6th. This will be the second part of a planned trilogy.
