Deponia to Release in June

Lace Mamba Global has announced that Daedalic Entertainment's new adventure game Deponia will release in the UK on June 29.

Deponia delivers stunning hand drawn backgrounds and comic animation.

The story:
“Rufus, one of the playable main characters, is not a pleasant guy. Ill-tempered and entirely too convinced of his own greatness, he lives at the edge of a small settlement somewhere in the most remote sector of the garbage-covered planet Deponia. He dreams of a better life in the floating cities of wealth and beauty high above the planet surface. When the angelic Goal falls from these privileged spheres down into a neighbouring trash heap, Rufus sees his chance. He decides to bring the unconscious beauty back to her home. Only a vague hope of making it off Deponia at first, he soon formulates an unscrupulous plan, as he learns that he is a dead ringer for Goal’s upper-class husband. The planned handover is only the beginning of a wild chase across Deponia full of twists, turns and mystifying mix-ups…”

I seem to recall posting some time back that I liked Rufus, so this must be a game that I'm waiting for even though I don't remember the title. Deponia doesn't ring any bells.
