Comrades!

It’s been over two weeks since Matryoshka has opened the Iron(y) Curtain to the Western World and we’re overwhelmed by all positive feedback we’ve received from you and from the press.

(By the way, if you didn’t leave Irony Curtain steam review yet, now it’s the best time to do it!)

If you hadn’t come across to any of the reviews in the web (which is, in the words of our Matryoshkan Scientists “99,9% impossibru”), here’s a small digest to what was going on since the release:


"Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love is a wonderful point-and-click adventure that simultaneously feels very nostalgic and yet very much a modern evolution of the genre classics that inspired it. (…) the journey is filled with fantastic art, lovable characters, varied gameplay, and loads of fun gags, all wrapped up nicely in a story about being the change you want to see. This game comes highly recommended for those looking to have a good laugh and enjoy a very polished adventure at the same time.”
- Adventure Gamers[adventuregamers.com] (4,5/5)

“Irony Curtain is the funniest game of the year. It’s also a great tribute to the PC clickers of old, and a good PnC game in its own right.”
- WellPlayed[www.well-played.com.au] (8/10)

“It is brilliantly written, carefully designed and put together; and most of all, seriously brilliant satire. GO PLAY THIS GAME”
- Impulse Gamer[www.impulsegamer.com] (5/5)

"To be honest, I didn’t expect to enjoy Irony Curtain as much as I did, but when I found myself chuckling at even the first lines of the game, I was a goner."
- Darkstation[www.darkstation.com] (4,5/5)

"Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love delightfully intertwines a playful and original concept with an intelligent gameplay, making it one of the most memorably games of the year so far."
- All About Casual Game [www.criticalhit.net](4,5/5)

"(...) Irony Curtain is an enjoyable puzzle game that delivers an outlandish yet compelling narrative and will definitely keep your attention all the way through if you’re a fan of off-beat humour and absurd puzzles."
- Critical Hit [www.criticalhit.net](8/10)


Thank you so much for your support – all the positive reviews and comments on Steam, the private messages, and social media comments. Glory to Matryoshka!

Comrades!

Our Leader has granted us another glorious update! If you appreciate our work for the bestest country in the world, don’t forget to write a Steam review!

The newest revolutionary update includes:

• fixed a blocking bug that could occur when exiting MG Floor Run (For Real This Time™);
  
• fixed a blocking bug that might occur on MG Switchboard;
  
• fixed a bug that changed the mouse cursor into MG Brick Wall cursor after saving the game;
  
• fixed a blocking bug occurring on Palace Courtyard with invisible Choir Leader not allowing Evan to use the ladder;
  
• fixed a blocking bug that made throwing a photo into trash almost impossible;
  
• fixed a blocking bug that allowed Evan to use oar on the curtain in Leader's Chamber after finishing a minigame;
  
• fixed a blocking bug that might prevent the train at the end of the game from stopping;
  
• fixed few typos in English and German language versions;
  
• fixed a few minor navmesh errors;
  
• fixed position of a few dialogue pivots.

IMPORTANT! We are trying our best to ensure that fixes work for the games that have been already started, but you might be forced to start the game again in some cases (e.g. bug with throwing a photo into the trash or using the oar on the curtain after finishing the minigame).

For the glory of Matryoshka!

Comrades!

Thank you for purchasing the Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love! We hope that your journey to the bestest country in the world was as great as babushka’s compot! If so, leave as a Steam Review – for the glory of Matryoshka!

This is the first of a few updates to Irony Curtain. We are aware that Western Spies have planted some bugs here and there, but our special antispy forces are ready to eliminate them once and for all!

That’s why we’re presenting you the official Revolutionary Update with some fixes and polishes, including:

• fixed a few active area points for better cursor feedback;
  
• fixed a blocking bug that could occur when exiting the Floor Run minigame while Evan is still running;
  
• fixed sound timing for two final cutscenes;
  
• fixed errors and typos in the German version of the game;
  
• made The Butcher's line of business more obvious.

As you might have noticed, the premiere build is missing manual save slots. We’ve found that there is a possibility that reloading the manual save might fail to call all of the proper actions and changes on a scene, which can cause errors. Since those errors might be game blocking in specific cases, we decided to turn this feature off and only bring it back when we are 300% sure that it works properly. Hopefully, this happens very very soon.

Don’t forget to spread the love for the bestest country in the world on your social media, using #IronyCurtain hashtag. You can also reach us on Irony Curtain’s Steam Forum.

Comrades!

We’re at the finishing line of accomplishing a dream we’ve had for a very long time – publishing our own point and click adventure. Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love is now live!

https://steamproxy.com/steamstore/app/866190/Irony_Curtain_From_Matryoshka_with_Love/

Throughout the years of avid gaming, sleepless nights filled with solving puzzles and laughing at all the jokes we kept dreaming of bringing something to the table, enriching the genre somehow – and now we put Irony Curtain in front of you to gauge how we did. We tried to give you a classical point and click with all the things we loved about the old-school games such as the Monkey Island series, but also do something based on the experiences that shaped us – such as the reign of communism in Poland, which affected most of us in one way or another.

We joked about Irony Curtain being Deponia meets Papers, please – and we hope it’s true! It’s a classic point and click adventure, with a story that will keep you hooked, with fleshed out, relatable characters, full of humour and well-placed easter-eggs, riddles that will keep you puzzled, with a familiar interface, known from other p’n’c titles – all that without the elements that made us grit our teeth in the classics – the riddles can be solved by rational thinking (no dream logic!), some of them even have more than one ways they can be solved, it has good music – created by Peter McConnel and Arkadiusz Reikowski – and will keep you entertained for up to 10 hours!

So, we’re calling on all point-and-click fans – we know you’re out there! Play Irony Curtain, tell us how we did! We hope that we managed to bring you a wave of nostalgia, laughter and some insight into the absurdities of communism.
