Daedalic Entertainment is giving away the classic point-and-click adventure game Deponia on Steam to celebrate its publisher event, allowing players to claim and keep the title until August 20.
If your backlog needs a quick palate cleanser before the fall blockbuster season hits, Steam has a low-stakes recommendation waiting for you. As originally reported by Polygon, developer Daedalic Entertainment is currently giving away copies of its classic point-and-click adventure game Deponia to celebrate the kickoff of the Daedalic Days event on Valve's platform. You have until August 20 to claim the game and keep it permanently in your library.
First released in 2012, Deponia drops players into a sprawling, post-apocalyptic junkyard planet where a chronically optimistic underdog named Rufus dreams of escaping his trash heap existence for the floating cities of the elite. Drawing heavy creative comparisons to classic LucasArts adventures, the game leans hard into sharp sci-fi satire. The developers explicitly pitch it to fans of franchises like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Futurama, and Discworld, delivering its narrative through distinct hand-drawn 2D art and fully voiced dialogue.
Clocking in at around eight hours, it makes for a breezy weekend playthrough, though the community does offer a couple of helpful survival tips. Veterans of the game suggest keeping a puzzle guide handy if you hit a traditional adventure game logic wall, and recent player reviews wisely recommend saving your progress frequently to avoid a rare early-game bug. You can head over to the Steam store page right now to lock the game into your digital collection.
