Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love 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...

Set in a bizarre Eastern European country ruled by t̶y̶r̶a̶n̶i̶c̶a̶l BELOVED leader, the game will take players through an ane exciting and often exaggerated spy story of epic communist vs capitalist caricatures.

Take on the role of Evan, a bumbling journalist and unbeknown spy as he solves a  puzzles, meets the eccentric people of this great nation and reveals what’s actually behind the Irony Curtain. 

Irony Curtain will launch for PC (Steam and GOG) on May 16th, 2019.

Pre-orders on GOG are now also open and come with a 10% discount for anyone who purchases the game before launch.

While Irony Curtain is still set to launch on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, the team has decided to take a few extra weeks to finalize those versions. The final console launch date will be announced as soon as the team knows they are ready.

“While internally we always had a date set for the 16th of May, we eventually saw that we could still make substantial improvements to the performance and controls of the console versions. However to meet that original deadline for all four platforms would have been brutal and required excessive hours on our team. We’re strongly against this idea so it was a decided to at least release the PC version on time and still ensure high-quality console versions done in a time frame that didn’t strain our devs.” -Piotr Sułek, Lead Game Designer

• Do it your way – Some of the puzzles are non-linear and can be solved in two or more ways.
