Goodbye Deponia

Goodbye Deponia is a graphic adventure video game developed and published by Daedalic Entertainment.

This military organization deceived the Elysian government by telling them Deponia is not inhabited any more and it would be better to blow up the planet.

Rufus, Goal, Doc and Bozo are forced to continue their trip to the upper ascension station in Porta Fisco by foot.

There, Doc and Bozo set up a lab so the three Goal personalities can be finally merged.

Doc and Bozo deceive Rufus by telling him he must look for an important object (of which they think does not exist).

Rufus sneaks in inside a torture bot as Argus reveals his plan to conquer Elysium and wants Goal by his side.

Rufus tries to free Goal by pushing random buttons but ends up injecting her with a lethal shot of Sodium Amytal.

Angered and saddened, Argus then orders the guards to have the bot (not knowing Rufus is inside) thrown overboard.

He thought up the idea to destroy Deponia to power Elysium, having forgotten that people still live there.

Rufus' deceased adoptive mother is mentioned pushing Seagull to fire the gun.

Rufus carries his wounded clone to an escape vehicle but accidentally backs it into the cannon preventing it from being fired.

Ulysses not wanting a coup to occur stops the Highboat while they are still in the range of the explosion, in hopes of saving his daughter Goal who he thinks is in Elysium.

Goal shows up on the bridge, in hopes of convincing her father to stop Deponia's destruction.

Rufus convinces Argus and Cletus to cooperate in order to destroy the transmitter of the bomb, while the people on the Highboat escape to Elysium by climbing the wires.

Argus tricks Cletus to seemingly fall to his death, and after stopping the transmitter tries to coerce Rufus into joining him in his plan to take over Elysium.

Cletus comes back and attacks Argus which caused all three get stuck in the rotor which balances the cruiser.

Carsten Fichtelmann of Daedalic Entertainment noted that these numbers were "a record for us", and that they marked the first time in 15 years that an adventure game had reached first place on the German market's weekly sales charts.

[10] However, he criticized brick and mortar retailers for understocking the game and "driv[ing] customers to digital purchases, or to mail-order companies like Amazon".
