Surviving Deponia is coming to Steam later this year. But why?
A new Deponia game was unveiled today at the Future Games Show, called Surviving Deponia. But unlike the previous games in the series—all comedic point-and-click adventures—this one is a «story-driven survival» game where you’ll «Explore, craft, build and fight your way through the harsh landscape of Deponia.»
Deponia actually makes sense as the setting for a survival-crafting game. The planet of Deponia, where the adventure games mostly take place, is a trash world, believed uninhabited, but which actually supports a small number of humans living in settlements built out of junk cast off by the people living in the wealthy, orbital city known as Elysium.
Surviving Deponia takes place right after the adventure games, and promises to give fans of the series «canonical closure about Elysium’s fate and Deponia’s citizens.
