✓ Nearly identical: puzzle design, adventure storytelling and strong narrative focus.

≠ Missing: exploration and discovery.

Quest, very close to the original canon of the genre. The game has a minimum of hints, and puzzle solving is often very unobvious. The plot of the game moves forward with the actions of the main character - Rufus, who lives on the planet of Deponia, long ago turned into a dump.

On reception: its Steam reviews are very positive, against overwhelmingly positive for Submachine: Legacy.

It predates Submachine: Legacy by 11 years, with what that implies technically.
