Goodbye deponia4/14/2023 ![]() Active hotspots can be revealed by holding down the space bar or the mouse wheel. As well, you can manually save your progress and reload it later to continue. Your progress is saved automatically when you exit the game, from which you can resume later when you restart playing. There are also 15 platypus eggs randomly hidden throughout the game as well as 50 achievement awards for completing certain tasks in the game. There are a number of mini-games, all of which can be skipped by clicking on the skip button on the right side of the screen. The game uses only 3 cursors to denote available actions: to walk, to talk, and to use or take. Gameplay in Goodbye Deponia uses typical third-person point-and-click mechanics. Above all, they will take more than just a "single" Rufus alone to solve. Needless to say, these tasks are easier said than done. Along the way, however, Rufus must deal with a trio of tasks: finding Goal who has gone missing (again), getting on the highboat to get to Elysium, and preventing the Organon from destroying Deponia. Fortunately, Rufus is able to free the cutter from the cruiser before heading to the haunted Hotel Menetekel. True to form, Rufus soon endangers Goal and company on board when they collide with a cruiser patrolled by the Organon. Rufus is aboard Bozo's cutter on the monorail track, believing he is going fishing at the Sea of Shards. As before, you play the role of the free spirited and amateur inventor Rufus. Like previous games in the series, Huzzah appears next to sing a ballad introducing the story. The game begins with a cinematic cut scene that shows the Council of Elders affirming its plan to destroy Deponia as soon as the Organon can confirm that the planet is uninhabited. Before starting the game proper, an interactive and humorous tutorial with Rufus and Toni offers you advice on how to use the game's interface. Under Bonus, you can view all previously unlocked cut scenes and achievements. Under Settings, you have the options (among others) to adjust various volumes, enable subtitling, and choose to play in either full screen or windowed mode. After choosing to play a new game, you are offered a choice for inventory mode-to access the inventory by scrolling the mouse wheel or left-clicking the mouse button at the top right corner of the screen. Upon starting the game, you are immediately presented with the Main Menu: Continue, New Game, Load/Save, Settings, Bonus, Credits, and Quit Game. ![]() Elysium can only be reached by using a highboat via the Upper Ascension Station in Porta Fisco, where the headquarters for the Organon are located. For its own nefarious agenda, the Organon too wants Deponia blown up so that the bureaucrats there can also live out a life of luxury in Elysium. The Organon, dwelling upon a network of huge monorail tracks built on high concrete structures, is a bureaucratic military led by Prime Controller Ulysses, Bailiff Argus, and Inspector Cletus that uses giant cruisers to police Deponia. Apparently, the Council of Elders in Elysium has asked the Organon to investigate whether or not there is still life on Deponia before ordering for its destruction. When Deponia is targeted for total destruction by Elysium, a resistance group headed by Rufus, Goal, Bozo, Toni, and Doc is determined to thwart this plan overseen by the Organon and save the world. The zany denizens that dwell in Deponia are considered lower class of the society. The lowest layer, Deponia, is little more than a pile of junk and garbage that is used by the upper and middle layers, Elysium and the Organon, as a dumping ground (in German, the word "deponie" literally means dump). The world of Deponia is unique in that it is composed of 3 distinct layers. ![]() While the game can be played as a standalone adventure, I strongly advise playing both of the previous games first so to better understand the evolving mythos of this series, particularly of the deep history underlying the world of Deponia and its colorful inhabitants. Goodbye Deponia is the third and final game of the Deponia trilogy from Daedalic Entertainment, following the release of both the original Deponia and the sequel Chaos on Deponia.
