Overview
Description

Deponia follows the ill‑tempered Rufus as he navigates a sprawling junkyard world, dreaming of the floating cities above. When the angelic Goal crashes into his trash heap, his selfish plan spirals into a chaotic love story full of twists and comedic mishaps. The game blends hand‑painted, widescreen backgrounds with cartoon animation, delivering witty dialogue and clever puzzles that keep players engaged from start to finish.

Guard Duty blends humor and heartfelt storytelling in a point‑and‑click adventure that takes players across two wildly different eras. As you solve puzzles and uncover secrets, the game explores themes of love, loss, and the end of the world with a quirky, sci‑fi/fantasy twist.
