Chaos on Deponia picks up soon after with another of Rufus’s crazy escape attempts. Deponia ended on a somber note, with Rufus crashing back to the landfill he begrudgingly calls home while Goal (the object of his affection) and Cletus (her arrogant fiancé) head back to the floating utopia of Elysium.
If you didn’t play the first game, you’ll be able to jump right in thanks to a brief video that recaps the story, a tutorial that teaches the controls, and a simple opening sequence that establishes Rufus as an accident-prone loudmouth.
Chaos on Deponia is the second game of a planned trilogy from German developer Daedalic, and it’s extremely similar to the first, so if you’re new around these parts you might want to start at the beginning. Welcome back to Deponia, the junk-filled planet that self-important tinkerer Rufus is determined to save from imminent destruction-not so much because he cares about Deponia’s survival, but to impress a pretty girl.
