ORDER to play - please (serious request)

[sAntiAgo]

I have purchased Chaos of Deponia, then Deponia. Yet there is the Bundle: The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav, Deponia, Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes, Chaos on Deponia, A New Beginning - Final Cut

Is that bundle order the definitive designed path to play the story line for continuanity (as the developers originaly desired?

I don't mind purchasing the bundle, but im 20 mins into each and I've stopped as I love this game and want to get the 'best' story as the developers originally planned.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Please, for consistency and for future gamers who may ask the same.

Much appreciated fellow community members... may Rufus's common sense guide you.

Only Deponia and Chaos On Deponia are in the same universe and share the continuing story. A third, and final, Deponia game will be released in Autumn 2013.

1. Deponia
2. Chaos On Deponia
3. Goodbye Deponia

The other games (The Dark Eye, Edna & Harvey 2 & A New Beginning) are separate games with separate stories. Play them whenever you please. However, Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes is actually a sequel/spinoff of the first Edna & Harvey-- Edna & Harvey: The Breakout. That one isn't on Steam.

And, of course, though it isn't included in the bundle, there is the other Daedalic game-- The Whispered World. Another self-contained game. Highly recommended.

The order to play Deponia tetralogy is as follows:
1) DEPONIA
2) CHAOS ON DEPONIA
3) GOOD BYE DEPONIA
4) DEPONIA DOOMSDAY

You can find a bundle for 1+2+3 for cheap, and even a bundle for 1+2+3+4, or you can buy them separately.

I did not intend to play the Tetralogy since I had been quite endured with the difficulty and frustration of Deponia 1. Those games are hard to play and need a guide or a walkthrough for sure. (Like Memoria, Whispered Worlds, Dark Eye by the way...which are good but very hard to play without a guide). They will leave you a memory. The ones you mention like Edna and Harvey or Night of the Rabbit are even harder to play.

Then I changed my mind and bought the Deponia bundle having depleted all the Point and Games on the current market (almost)...this is a niche genre with few realeases each year.

Please buy those games if you like them. Daedelic has been providing gems in the Point and Click era for more than 1 decade. (17 years) Really sad for the economic outcome of Daedelic Germany lately. (2024) This genre must stay alive and any good game must be supported.

I personnally do not condone the price policy made by third party resalers platform.

Anyway, support the developers if you like their games.
