Point and Click 'Deponia' Trashing Q2 2012

Point and click adventures are still going strong with indie publishers. Lace Mamba Global already released The Book of Unwritten Tales and have announced to be going forward in this endeavor.

Together with developer Daedalic Entertainment, they’ll be releasing what they say is a ‘fast-paced comedy,’ called Deponia, in Q2 2012. This will take the adventure to a trash filled world full of dark corners and elevated planetary railways. With the cartoon animations on top of hand-painted backgrounds and panels; the game kind of looks like a less gloomy Machinarium, inspired by Matt Groening.

For more information around the backstory of this game, here is a press release pitch: “Rufus, one of the playable main characters, is not a pleasant guy. Ill-tempered and entirely too convinced of his own greatness, he lives at the edge of a small settlement somewhere in the most remote sector of the garbage-covered planet Deponia. He dreams of a better life in the floating cities of wealth and beauty high above the planet surface. When the angelic Goal falls from these privileged spheres down into a neighbouring trash heap, Rufus sees his chance. He decides to bring the unconscious beauty back to her home. Only a vague hope of making it off Deponia at first, he soon formulates an unscrupulous plan, as he learns that he is a dead ringer for Goal’s upper-class husband. The planned handover is only the beginning of a wild chase across Deponia full of twists, turns and mystifying mix-ups…”
