About this game
The world of Deponia is a grim one: the people's home is a huge garbage dump.
In the clouds flies the city Elysium, which is considered the only place where one can escape those harsh living conditions.

But of course there is no way up — however, the egocentric inventor Rufus, the hero of the game, tries all he can to get there...
This is a traditional point & click adventure in which the player needs to solve puzzle chains in order to achieve the chapter's big goal.
The puzzles range from inventory puzzles (combining found items in the inventory with each other or with items in the game world), dialogue puzzles and logic puzzles like setting railway switches.
The latter are isolated from the regular game environment and can be mostly skipped.
Of course the game also offers the usual hot spot help which shows all interactive items on the screen.
Besides the puzzle solving, one of the most important aspects of the game are the characters and their development over the course of the game.
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Deponia for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Deponia to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2012.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Deponia has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
