About This Game

Take a look behind Irony Curtain in this satirical point-and-click inspired by the best works of LucasArts and Daedalic Entertainment! Experience the totalitarian Matryoshka through the eyes of Evan – a low-ranking, goofy journalist involuntarily pulled right into the middle of an espionage stand-off between two powers. Jump into the wacky spy adventure, uncover secrets of the bizarre communist country (and the powerful capitalist empire!), witness a story full of unpredictable twists and turns, and discover the true agenda of the mysterious Supreme Leader!

What business might the loving father of the Matryoshkan nation have with a lowly, capitalistic pen-pusher?
Why suddenly lift the Irony Curtain and welcome a stranger into Matryoshka?
And why is there an alligator in the middle of the bathroom?!

An original setting: fictional Cold War era – alternate reality unbound by historical accuracy, and the communistic Matryoshka full of people who work all the possible angles to navigate this illogical, odd country.
Inspired by classic adventure games – but better. No dream-logic, no pixel hunting. No-nonsense. Pure point and click fun.
The Spy Intrigue – sleeper spies, stolen secrets and world-domination plots wrapped up in layers of humor.
Quirky characters – Meet the mysterious Leader ruling Matryoshka with an irony fist, the clueless and guilible Evan, the brave and witty Agent Anna and the notorious Minister of Propaganda...
Do it your way – some of the puzzles are non-linear and can be solved in two or more different ways.
21 hand-painted locations – that look surprisingly better than their original inspirations.
1,951 cleverly sneaked-in easter eggs – some of them punishable by political imprisonment.
Music score as grand as Matryoshka itself - music by the state composer Arkadiusz Reikowski (Layers of Fear, My Brother Rabbit) with Main Theme by Peter McConnell (Monkey Island, Grim Fandango)
Full voice-over – in English, and subtitles&nbsp

Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka With Love

So, I played this for about an hour. Now, I've played alot of Artifex Mundi games, and I was looking forward to a funny one from them. But this was a hard pass for me.

Excellent point & click game. The entire game feels very polished and remained thoroughly entertaining throughout the entire story. All aspects of the game were very well done: graphics, sound, voice acting, plot, pacing, controls, etc. I honestly can't think of anything bad to say about it.

It's hard to recommend this game at full price but let's say it's 51/49%. There's only 5 or 6 hours of gameplay there, even for novice adventure game players, so that's primarily why the reluctance.

Comrades,

Pros:

Great game! Definitely suggest everyone trying it. It still have small bugs, but it won't influence your overall experience. The game has a great story line and easy to navigate gameplay. Need more games like this! Thank you

REVIEW OF FINISHED GAME

Really fun game full of references, Easter eggs, and great jokes (Polish people will recognize the most of them).
Peculiar and interesting characters and good plot.
Inspired by both classic and modern point & click adventure games.
Puzzles are not very hard but still can give your brain cells a workout.
Beautiful hand-drawn graphic.
Not recommended for younger children.
Dziękuję za super grę, Artifex Mundi.
Evan is too cute. :P

I don't need to repeat what others have said on the negatives of this game, though some are a little too harsh. The reason why I give it a negative is not because of the aforementioned but solely because the game lost the avatar (your character on screen) as it entered the left-hand sewer below the palace (spoiler: at the end of the game) never to return. After several conversations with Artifex Mundi's technical support, the problem remained unresolved and to this day I am unable to complete the game :-(

I didn't get too far into the game, but just... Everything fell flat for me. The humor seemed nonexistent, the art style reminds me of bad anime CGI, the puzzles solve mundane tasks, the story hook was arbitrary and meh.

Was having fun then rage quit at stupid in-game 'frogger' - -deleted.
