About this game
How it plays
This isn’t the game itself, it’s the soundtrack: the score composed for Irony Curtain by Arkadiusz Reikowski, with a main theme contributed by Peter McConnell, the composer behind Monkey Island and Grim Fandango. So there’s no puzzle-solving here, just the music that ran under all of it: the paranoid, oddball, Cold War-that-never-happened atmosphere of Matryoshka, the fictional totalitarian state Evan the journalist stumbles into. If you’ve played the point-and-click adventure and remember the tone, part satire, part spy thriller, part slapstick, this is the audio thread that tied those tonal shifts together. On its own, it works as a listen for anyone who likes adventure game scores that lean theatrical and a little absurd rather than moody and ambient.
Who it’s for
This is a niche pickup, and that’s fine. It’s for people who already played Irony Curtain and want the music without booting the game up, or who liked the LucasArts-style adventure game tradition enough to want another entry in the “great composer, goofy Cold War setting” pile on their shelf. Fans of Peter McConnell’s other work will get a kick out of hearing his fingerprints on a new setting, and Reikowski’s name carries weight for anyone who’s followed his work on other Artifex Mundi-adjacent or horror-adventure titles. If you never played the base game and have no particular interest in adventure game scores as a genre, there’s honestly not much reason to seek this out on its own; it’s a companion piece, not a standalone event.
Is it worth it?
Soundtracks like this live or die on how much you value having the music separately from the game, whether that’s for background listening while you work, or just wanting to support the composer and keep a digital copy of something you enjoyed. It’s not a big investment of your time either way, since you’re not “playing” anything, just adding a music library entry. If you’re the type who buys game soundtracks selectively rather than as a habit, this is exactly the kind of thing to grab when it’s discounted rather than at full price, since the appeal is pretty narrowly tied to already caring about Irony Curtain or its composers.
