In Irony Curtain, you play the role of young Evan Kovolsky, a young American journalist who dreams of meeting a great Communist leader.
Evan's dream seems to come true when he is the only one chosen to meet the leader of the state of Matryoshka for an interview. Once arrived behind the iron curtain, Evan's adventure begins with satire, black humor and interesting puzzles when he's confronted with the bizarre bureaucracy in Matryoshka, and the strange assignments they give him.
