The entrance to Kuvaq during the town's barbecue party. from mobygames.com
Special effects 2: Rufus gives a bit of advice to a minor trans character (unfortunately presented in a sexist way, and, knowing trans people, I just know that their situation isn't "funny")... from mobygames.com

Special effects 4: ...so I decided to keep them all and share them with other users. from mobygames.com
Finally it worked! With McChronicle's help, Rufus achieved what he couldn't achieve during the original trilogy: he is finally on Elysium!... from mobygames.com
...Too bad he arrived on Elysium at the worst possible moment: right after it fell from the sky and crashed on Deponia... from mobygames.com

Finally, Rufus, Goal and McChronicle (with two locals) are leaving the funfair by boat. from mobygames.com
The university in Porta Rustica from mobygames.com
The lecture room. McChronicle found not-very-competent Rufus a job as lecturer, but still he can learn a lot from his students without them recognizing he doesn't know the answers himself. from mobygames.com
A little family reunion: McChronicle's father is the dean. However, he doesn't believe in time anomalies, so the son isn't entirely happy about the reunion... from mobygames.com
Paradox City (which is, actually, a settlement even smaller than Kuvaq) - Rufus will keep returning here for a while... from mobygames.com
Temporal paradox! McChronicle wonders what will happen to the inhabitants of Paradox City after they restore the original event line. from mobygames.com
Temporal paradox! The woman at left is another version of Goal who became stuck in Paradox City (but still found some happiness here, took up sculpting...). from mobygames.com

Future Paradox City... the place just deteriorated after the portals closed. from mobygames.com
In a place called Waste of Time. Rufus has been here before and I liked this screenshot best, but it has the disadvantage of being in line with two others... from mobygames.com
Here Rufus and Goal return to Waste of Time, which has become an oasis through their actions. At least they did this thing right... from mobygames.com
And one more time - Goal and Rufus escape through ancient Waste of Time. from mobygames.com
Once again, Goal recapitulates the story. from mobygames.com
This is how Rufus could have survived his fall. But should he?... Really, that's the crux of this tragicomedy: sometimes there are no good solutions. from mobygames.com

Can you change Deponia's fate? Do you have what it takes to change Rufus' past, present and future without accidently destroying the whole planet? Fight time itself in this action-packed, platypus-tastic and insanely hilarious story.
