After a brief encounter with the Organon forces and Barry – Rufus’ greatest fan with a strange ability to find himself in places you’d never expect, allowing players to catch up with the plot as exaggeratedly told by our boastful hero – their ascent is thwarted again, leaving Rufus and co to re-group and try another plan of attack. However, in true Rufus fashion, anything that can go wrong will, and in attempting to save the world he accidentally puts Goal back in the firing line. Set not long after the events of Chaos On Deponia, Rufus and Goal have only one more day to get to the Council of Elysium Elders in order to warn them that Deponia is in fact inhabited, thus saving it from its imminent destruction. With that, the trilogy comes to a close with Goodbye Deponia, a heart-breaking farewell that’ll keep the memory of Deponia fresh in your mind for years to come. Over the last two games he’s accidentally shot her out of the sky, broken her mind, split her into three distinct personalities, and almost doomed her to be blown up with the rest of Deponia so that the Elysians can make their way to Utopia.
While his antics are an absolute joy to behold for the player, he’s a clumsy, work-shy fop whose actions recklessly endanger all those around him, and none more so than Goal. Last year, Daedalic gave us not one, but two instalments of a trilogy set on a fictional planet of trash known as Deponia and starring Rufus – one of the most cocky, arrogant and yet somehow lovable protagonists in recent memory – and his never-ending attempts to escape for the floating city of Elysium. An insane romp created by a German developer nicknamed ‘Poki’ as part of his dissertation, Edna & Harvey showed that sometimes the best adventures are the most irreverent ones.
Case in point: when Lorna reviewed Edna & Harvey: The Breakout back in the ancient year of 2011, I had no idea that it’d help re-ignite my love for point-and-click adventures in a big way, especially with Telltale showing their first signs of abandoning the genre in favour of linear narrative storytelling experience.

If you’re not a character in a movie or television show with a downer ending, then it’s perhaps even harder. Saying goodbye is never easy you reflect on all the times you’ve had together while a solemn music track plays as you disappear into the horizon and the credits begin to roll.
