Description



Take a look behind Irony Curtain in a satirical point and click inspired by the best works of LucasArts and Daedalic Entertainment! Experience the totalitarian Matryoshka through Evan’s eyes – 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!

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 in Matryoshka? 
And why is there an alligator in the middle of the bathroom?!





What can you expect: 
  • 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 humour 
  • 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. 
  •  Full voice-over – in English, and subtitles in Polish and German.
  • 1,951 cleverly sneaked-in easter eggs – some of them punishable by political imprisonment.
  • A 5-year plan – that no one ever hoped to achieve, and neither should you.

Monkey Deponia with Communism Tentacle

It's just in. Deponia is no longer spiritual successor of Lucasarts adventure puzzle games. Irony Curtain came and took that title at ease during first chapter. This game is simply great. Fantastic setting, great jokes, many cultural references, perfectly balanced riddles and cherry on top so far (chapter 3) pretty amusing mini-games. I expected something nice, but not another monkey island, just in communism parody setting. Being honest, I actually expect meeting character named Guybrush at some point in the game. Go for it comrade !!! We need you to fend off capitalist spies off review page on GOG.

Please add russian language

It's very irony: parody game about USSR has no russian language. As I know, russian translation is made by ZoG, and it just must have been added to the game. It lasts at least a halfyear, so please do it. Many of us bought this game in hope there will be our native language.

Fun if you have low expectations

As I tend to like games with a good story and touch of humor, this was an ok game. Some of the controls take a little getting used to. Most of the puzzles are relatively easy, but there were a few that made no sense. As always, it never stops being fun making jokes at the expense of communists/socialists. This is also a pretty short game. Also, the story is not overtly preachy about politics one way or another. So if you go into this game without expecting to much, you should be able to come away mildly entertained.

Great classical adventure game

I've found this game a very entertaining: good (not too difficult/not too easy) puzzles, nice hint system, great graphics, and a funny plot. It was also long enough to keep me up for a few evenings. It's a shame that this game gets so many low ratings just because of its anti-communist character, which is rather a plus if anything at all. I highly recommend this title :)
