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?!

The game manages to show you the revolting living conditions of the people living under communism and dictatorship while still keeping a humorous tone, and I applaud them for that.
The help option is also cleverly integrated into the story, and easter eggs have been planted here and there.
It's been a while I hadn't played a point & click game, and I'm glad I did.

A fantastic point and click adventure game in the style of Monkey Island and Broken Sword. Great writing. Lots of references to Monkey Island and other fun little pop culture references. Definitely worth buying, though you should never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game...

It is good. But first half was very good and the later part of the game less good.

The level of the puzzles and lenght of the game and story were perfect for me.I really liked the humor and the LOTR and cast away references.Sauron and The Leader? yes the same thing haha.Coming from parents who lived in the communism era in Romania,this was very educating and i could find lots of the facts my parents related to me , in this game.The secretly spying on everyone,the long lines for food,everyone holding an empty bag ,the fact that money doesent have as much value when there isnt anything to spend it on,the overuse of the word Execute..heck i even know the lyrics of the song from the star on the wall in the hotel room.It was well made and i liked the art style,and want to thank the artists for doig a great job.

Relatively short, diverting point & click adventure. Puzzle wise it's not that complicated and should you get stuck somewhere, they added a hint-mechanic via telephones. I think the setting is a fresh breath of air and the humor was entertaining for the most part. The game doesn't take itself very serious at all.
