About

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 in Polish and German.
A 5-year plan – that no one ever hoped to achieve, and neither should you.

Reviews
A delightful Cold War parody where incompetence meets espionage. Like Monkey Island took a vacation behind the Iron Curtain and brought vodka instead of sunscreen. Glorious motherland approves and so do we, comrade.
Irony Curtain is a genuinely funny and charming point-and-click adventure that fans of the genre, especially those who appreciate the humour of games like Deponia, should definitely check out. The writing is sharp and witty, consistently landing its satirical punches, and the animation is wonderfully expressive, bringing its quirky cast of characters to life. Evan, in all his glorious ignorance, is a particular standout, leading to some truly laugh-out-loud moments. While some puzzle progression occasionally felt a little obscure, the overall experience is a delightful romp through a well-realised world, making it an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a good laugh and a classic adventure feel.
Джордж Стоббарт, Ларри Лаффер, Гайбраш Трипвуд и прочая LucasArtsовщина чувствуются во всём. В игре классная озвучка, но только англицкая. И озвучка таких игр создаёт четверть, а может и всю треть кайфа от игры. Когда-то шикарнейшая локализация Leisure Suit Larry 7 - Love for Sail сделала почти 50% этого кайфа. Тут конечно хотелось бы такой же крутой локализации... или хотя бы субтитров)
This game is exactly what you are looking for, you capitalist pig! :D
Great point and click
Fantastisch! Nicht nur für Fans von Point & Click Klassikern wie Maniac Mansion und Indy. Tolle aber nicht zu schwierige Rätsel, phantasievolle Story, spannend und liebevoll gestaltet. Ein großes Kompliment an die Produktionsfirma! Ich bin begeistert und werde Ausschau nach anderen Spielen dieser Firma halten.
Ich liebe die Szenengestaltung!
Excellent point and click. Deserves more eyes on it.
This is what classic (Lucas Arts) point and click was about and should be about. Highly recommend if you're into that genre.
Nice Artwork, nice story and quite solvable!
