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...

The sarcasm is strong with this one!
This game is such a gem, if only it could be more well-known. The dialogues and witty comments are absolutely amusing, and the plot is carefully designed. If you play more rounds, you'll find more hidden clues, such as the fortune teller's advice actually makes perfect sense.
What I did not enjoy includes the waiting for Evan to move around & the QTE stamping.
Nevertheless, great game. Can't believe I didn't play it sooner.

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