## Description
Ippolit Matveevich Vorobyaninov was once a rich and influential member of
Russia’s merchant class. But the revolution of 1917 took his money and his
position away from him. Now he works in an office in a little Russian city.
Suddenly his mother-in-law becomes gravely ill, and tells him a big secret
before she dies: when the revolution broke, she had hidden her diamonds in one
of the chairs standing in her living room. The question is: where are those
chairs now? And in which one are the diamonds? The quest for the lost treasure
leads Vorobyaninov and his side-kick, the sly thief and swindler Ostap Bender,
to a journey through the early Soviet Union, full of surprises and bizarre
encounters.
“Twelve Chairs” is a satiric novel written by Ilya Ilf and Jevgeny Petrov
about 1930. The novel quickly became a cult book among Soviet citizens, mainly
thanks to its critical approach towards the regime and brilliant humor. Now it
appears in a form of a classic adventure game in spirit of Curse of Monkey
Island, with cartoony graphics, plenty of characters to interact with, and
tricky puzzles for the two heroes to solve.
