About Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love

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.
