Seven years after their release of Deponia Doomsday, Daedalic Entertainment are returning to the Deponia series with its latest creation: Surviving Deponia. This instalment takes a new direction, seeking to provide a story-driven survival game. The game revisits the trash planet of Deponia, aiming to immerse players in a world populated by new challenges, allies, and adversaries, while also offering a more distinct style of gameplay.
Following the events of Goodbye Deponia and Deponia Doomsday, the once quaint trash planet has evolved into a dystopian nightmare reminiscent of Mad Max. In a significant plot twist, Elysium, the esteemed citadel that once floated through Deponia’s skies, has plummeted onto the planet’s surface. This crash has set off a chain of events, including an enigmatic water shortage and the emergence of new threats. Players will be compelled to navigate through Deponia’s hostile terrain, collect resources, interact with new and returning characters, and construct a home base to secure their survival.
While the Deponia series has not previously ventured into the domain of story-driven survival, the game’s developers believe that the trash-strewn landscapes of Deponia present ample opportunities for engaging gameplay. Their new approach seeks to captivate returning players while staying authentic to the spirit of the series.
Promoted features of the game include:

Deponia has changed since it was last visited – if the life-threatening living conditions don’t bring you to your knees, the monsters (both the creature and human kinds) will do the rest!
