![]() There are moments that make you wonder what could be made if the incredible love that's gone into the backgrounds and character animations, combined with vocal casting and huge range of characters and locations, were put into something that wasn't overtly hateful.įor instance, at one point the game goes incredibly meta. In and amongst this game's poor puzzles and clusters of crude mistakes, are flashes of inspiration. PMT jokes abound, and the female lead - Goal - improbably falls in love with the revolting main character despite every dreadful thing he's done and said.īeyond the obvious offensiveness (I really struggled to continue on after something quite so revolting as the "monkey" scene, the game's permanent smugness now so tarnished that it makes me squirm to play), it's infuriating, because developers Daedalic are clearly talented. Two women who've joined the resistance army are described as "dressing like men", and laughed at for thinking they can have army titles. Women are sex objects, lunatics, sluts or only identified as fat. Within the opening moments of the game, one character has already suggested that a female character's mentally ill behaviour is because she's on her period. Meanwhile, there's no mistaking the deliberate choice to offer a pathetic portrayal of a Chinese stereotype, complete with Ls swapped with Rs.Īnd then there's the game's grotesque representation and attitude toward women. But it remains what it is, and what it is, is plain grotesque. I want to assume that this isn't a directly and deliberately racist statement, but rather the result of abject stupidity. The person you're required to have become his new dancing monkey, by destroying her life until she has nothing left? The other black character.Īnd the way you get her to take the job? You literally sell her. A puzzle (of sorts) at that stage in the game is to first get rid of the organ grinder, and then to find a replacement monkey, so that Monkey - as it persists in calling him - can become the new grinder. Of the very few black characters in the game, one of them is being forced to be an organ grinder's monkey. Chapter three makes that look forward thinking.įor example. Chapter two had the delightful revelation that a woman's brain split into three results in a baby, a bitch, and another bitch. In this third and final chapter, he continues in the same vein, his unrelenting revolting attitude just a constant drain on the player.īut this game - a massive instalment, stretching on for about twice its welcome - sees that unpleasantness permeate into almost every aspect. By the second, brief and dreadful game, he had become outright repulsive. He's clearly meant to be a form of anti-hero, and in the first game it was uncomfortable, but almost worked. The star, Rufus, is a defiantly unlikeable playable character, whose selfishness is his only motivation, and his offensiveness a source of glee to him alone. ![]() The third part in the increasingly uncomfortable adventure, it takes what was once a mildly insulting tale to something very ugly.Īll three games have been deliberately crass. As an experience, it's remarkably unpleasant. As a graphic adventure it's a very beautifully drawn, utterly enormous creation, with average to poor puzzles. So how does this third and final part fare? Urrrgghhh. The first part looked like it might wander close to goodness, while the second was brief and disposable. Take 1 step to the right (tile no 18) - K7 will rotate south-east.Daedalic's epic adventure reaches a conclusion with its biggest chapter, Goodbye Deponia. Take 1 step up (tile 15), 4 to the left (tile no 11), and 1 step up (tile no 17) - K8 will rotate east.Ħ. Take 1 step to the left (tile no 15), 2 steps down (tile 4), and 1 step up (tile no 9) - K2 will rotate north-west.ĥ. ![]() Take 1 step down (tile no 16) - K4 will rotate south-west.Ĥ. ![]() Take 3 steps up (tile no 19), and then 3 steps to the right (tile no 22) - K5 will rotate south.ģ. ![]() Take 2 steps to the right - you land on the tile no 2, K1 will rotate north.Ģ. Below you can find the correct order that will allow Goal to reach the terminal on the left:ġ. The picture above shows the board with numbered tiles and cameras (cameras are marked with a "K" letter and a number, e.g. You have to create a situation in which Goal is able to turn off the terminal. However, if you approach the edge, the cameras will react. You won't attract their attention if you move in the center of the board. Each camera rotates 45 degrees with one movement. There are 8 cameras and 3 terminals that you need to switch off. This is a mini-game in which you move on a colorful board consisting of 26 tiles. It turns out that the room is guarded by cameras - you need to distract their attention. ![]()
