Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love is a satirical point-and-click inspired by the classic adventure games. It smuggles you out of your comfort zone and throws into the middle of a Cold War spy intrigue – and there’s an even bigger game being played… Experience Matryoshka through Evan – a low-ranking, goofy journalist involuntarily pulled right into the middle of an espionage stand-off between two powers. Hop onto the wacky spy adventure, uncover secrets of the bizzare communist country (and the powerful capitalistic empire!), witness the story full of unpredictable twists and turns and discover the true agenda of the mysterious Supreme Leader!
Runs well on modern hardware.
Nice little point and click, especially if bought in sale. Story is good and puzzles interesting.
Pretty solid as a point-and-click game. The puzzles can be pretty contrived at times, but there's a built-in hint system, so you can pretty much always get by. And the art is fantastic. The humor is generally very obnoxious and the punchline to roughly half the jokes is "haha Evan is a stupid loser," which did sour the experience a bit for me. I mean, Evan just annoys the hell out of me. Occasionally the jokes are actually funny, though. Otherwise, it's a solid game.
