I realized based on art, subtitle font, and music that this had to be from the same person/company responsible for the Edna & Harvey series. While it isn't as funny, I do like how Deponia follows suit and jokes come at the expense of every character with plenty of morbid/dark humor. My main issue was that I hated the main character, but that was mitigated with him being far and away the most frequent recipient of punishment.
I own the entire collection on Steam, so hopefully I can pick up where I left off and not have to re-do the first game.
If you hate the main character, I sincerely worry for you if you plan to finish all 4 games. The fact that he's hateable is the point according to the devs, and thats not changing for the better. ---
It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you.
