Our take on Goodbye Deponia
Players may bounce off when a puzzle requires switching between all three Rufuses and coordinating their actions. The cloning premise adds another layer to task solving, while Rufus's tendency to interfere with himself creates further complications before progress can continue.
What is Goodbye Deponia?
Goodbye Deponia is a point-and-click adventure and the conclusion to the Deponia trilogy.
Rufus, an inventor living on the junkyard planet Deponia, wants to reach Elysium, an orbital society reserved for its highest-ranking residents. When Goal disappears and the Organon threatens to destroy Deponia, Rufus uses a cloning machine and ends up dealing with three versions of himself.
