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.

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.
This game was a lot of fun - felt kind of like a throwback to better gaming days... Polished game with excellent music, voice acting and writing. Recommended!
It is good. But first half was very good and the later part of the game less good.

Alle Fans von Point & Klick können zugreifen. Das durchaus politische Thema des Spiels ist schön ausgearbeitet und auch für jüngere Spieler zugänglich. Rätsel sind gut Lösbar und machen Spaß. Für mich gab es hier nur 2 kleine Ausnahmen, was aber ok ist. 9/10
Nice little point and click, especially if bought in sale. Story is good and puzzles interesting.
Un buen juego que garantiza muchas horas de diversión. Algunos puzles son un poco rebuscados, pero en general me ha gustado bastante.
This is, by far, one of my best games I've played! It immediately became an all-time favorite! It's wildly entertaining, ridiculously hilarious, unpredictable, and worth every minute I've spent playing it so far (74% done). While I don't know how the ending will go, it will have to be a monumental disappointment for me to give this game lower marks. If you like Return to Monkey Island, Kelvin and the Infamous Machine, and even games like Fran Bow, this is one you have to add to your library!!!!
Primero, agradecer los subtitulos en español de abandonsocios (en discusiones esta) Buena aventura grafica, puzzles bastante logicos, hacia el final se enreda un poco pero están logrados. Humor al estilo de deponia con ciertos guiños a otras aventuras o lores, buena animacion. algo lenta la trama, la musica algo mejorable.
Beautiful game! Very interesting plot & the puzzles are challenging. I enjoyed every minute of it.
