Why is the tavern's jukebox played by an irate dwarf? Why is a demon working as a restaurant chef? Chaos on Deponia kicks comprehension to the curb for a clever cast and frequent sight gags. The Black Market bustles with all manners of eccentric citizens – the blind pharmacist who mistakes toilet paper for prescriptions, a resistance group led by an overweight Peter Pan wannabe, and so on – giving the town a more animated, live-in feel than any prior Deponia setting. It’s also one of the game’s biggest highlights. Help waits at the Floating Black Market, a captivating microcosm of crime and pollution that sells the parts veteran tinkerer Doc needs to repair Goal’s brain implants. Welcome to the Black Market's resistance movement, in the basement of their leader's mom's house. On her way to Elysium to stop Deponia’s destruction (as revealed in the first game), a rocket-propelled circular saw crafted by none other than Rufus shoots Goal’s transport out of the sky, damaging her memory chip. That means more bad news for the heroine Goal. This midpoint builds the tension for the series’ climactic end, with more wacky characters and puzzles that quiz players in ridiculous ways, even if it advances the story very little.ĭespite early assertions from Rufus that he has shed his egocentric attitude, a fiery tutorial involving an elderly couple’s parrot, hammer, toilet, and garbage disposal weakens his claims of empathy.
A thrill ride nevertheless, however, Chaos on Deponia’s importance cannot be understated. In any case, thanks for confirming my suspicions.If the Deponia trilogy is a roller coaster, then Chaos on Deponia is the crest of the first incline, not the crucial downhill drop it should have been. I guess it would make more sense if I could have followed the entire saga unfold from the developer's forums. Interesting trivia! But the fuel deception in Maniac Mansion is relatively obvious and genuinely funny, while Leopard Mode is presented as a true-but-twisted rumor in Chaos of Deponia, sending people in a despicable wild-goose chase.
I knew about the useless chainsaw in the former, but I didn't knew about the chainsaw fuel in the latter. And yes, I played Maniac Mansion ottokarsubke, but not Zak McKracken. Thanks! I like looking at the backgrounds too, but I want it to stay that way. Anyways, mystery solved.Ģ) Good to know, I'll skip this part. I can't believe they made an entire game mode based on this one lame joke of a character too.
I don't think I would have made the connection. Turns out that the cartoon face I was wondering about is a portrait of Droggeljug from that game, purple thingie included - which is actually a cushion. Does anybody have more info on that?ġ) I started playing Edna & Harvey: The Breakout. Because of that I can't tell if Leopard Mode is something legitimate or if it's just the developers trolling everybody. But Chaos of Deponia moved that joke to a whole new level, first by constantly denying its existence in the manual, and second by having an in-game tip that actually confirms its existence. With Deponia I thought it was just a silly joke and moved on.

What's up with that?ģ) The manuals of both Deponia and Chaos of Deponia have an entire section dedicated to Leopard Mode, with completely ridiculous steps on how to activate that mode. There is a sub-section called "Puzzle", and it's a 12-piece jigsaw puzzle. Anybody knows what this option does?Ģ) After I finished Chaos on Deponia, I checked the Bonus section. When I check it the game prompts for a reboot, but I don't notice anything different after doing so. It's a checkbox with no description, just the face of a cartoon character with something purple on his head. So here are my questions:ġ) After I finished Deponia, the Options menu had an option I swear wasn't there when I started playing. Odd things I surprisingly cannot find any info about - probably because I can't read German forums. So I finished Deponia and Chaos on Deponia, and I noticed odd things about them.
