Deponia: The Complete Journey

Embark on a chaotic adventure across the refuse planet Deponia as Rufus tries to escape his home world and impress a girl. This point-and-click puzzle game features a bizarre, humorous narrative and challenging logical obstacles.

The Mac build is Intel-only (x86_64) and runs on Apple Silicon through Rosetta 2 translation — it's a Mac app, but not a true arm64 native one. Expect a ~10–15% performance tax versus a real native port.
