Irony curtain is a not-too-subtle parody of the cold war USSR era countries and the perils of communism. It’s a point and click story-telling RPG and at each stage there is a joke upon a joke upon a joke.Social and cognitive learning this game is hilarious.

You will need to solve problems and play fetch in order to progress, but unlike many games where you have to solve problems, the problems are part of the story telling.Social and cognitive learning for example, many of the problems are due to the situation in matryoshka and are fitting to the characteristics of the people and their circumstances.Social and cognitive learning each problem you are presented is more immersive to the satirical storytelling, rather than just giving you an arbitrary roadblock to overcome.Social and cognitive learning

Right or left click doesn’t make any difference, you simply click on where you want to go and evan will walk there, or close as possible to it.Social and cognitive learning interaction with everything and everyone allows you to look, and if appropriate, touch, action or pickup.

A wonderful feature of the game is the in-built help system that is integrated into the storytelling.Social and cognitive learning so much so that at times its part of the game entirely and you will have a conversation with a person on a telephone or radio, or perhaps even a wise fortune telling women.Social and cognitive learning each one of these information zones are indicated by a yellow light bulb.

There are some annoying parts in the latter half of the game where for whatever reason, you just can’t seem to pick up or interact with items, even though you should be able to.Social and cognitive learning this is likely a bug, and even though it seems you can’t do something, you just need to stand in exactly the right spot. Try double clicking as close to the item or location as possible then keep trying until it works.Social and cognitive learning you will know for sure if this is the case because it will be obvious that you do need to interact and doing so will have no effect, no comment from evan and in most cases no movement either.Social and cognitive learning

One other problem encountered is when you release a friend from his prison cell. This is done at a control panel and you have the option to close the door again by clicking on a button.Social and cognitive learning doing so, causes a continued interaction with some missing NPC’s located outside the building and this interaction stops you placing a ladder against a statue.Social and cognitive learning these are the sort of things that updates are likely to fix, but the game and indeed its story can be continued, it’s just a little annoying.Social and cognitive learning
