Steam offers Deponia adventure game for free

The digital distribution platform Steam is offering the classic point-and-click adventure game Deponia for free as part of a ‘free-to-keep’ promotion. Developed by Daedalic Entertainment, the game can be added to a user's library at no cost and will remain permanently available for download and play after the promotion ends.

The giveaway is part of the ‘Daedalic Days 2026’ event. Users must claim the title before the deadline, which varies slightly by region but is generally cited as August 20, 2026.

Deponia is a highly-rated adventure game featuring hand-drawn 2D graphics and a comedic story set on a garbage planet. Players control the protagonist, Rufus, as he attempts to navigate a world of waste and solve puzzles to reach the floating city of Elysium.
