## Description
_The Golden Calf_ ( _З олотой телёнок_ in Russian) is a point-n-click graphic
adventure game based on the satirical novel of the same name (1931) by the
Soviet Russian authors Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov, which is a sequel to
another novel by the same authors also interpreted as a graphic adventure game
The Twelve Chairs. The game follows the novel’s plot very closely, describing
a trip of Ostap Bender in a company of his new gang members on the long way
from a heart of post-revolutionary Russia to the shores of Black Sea to claim
the million of Russian rubles from a “clandestine millionaire” named Alexandr
Koreiko. The player controls Ostap Bender most of the time with a minor
control of his gang member Shura Balaganov, moving the character from one
scrolling screen to another, talking to other characters, collecting and using
the inventory items, and playing two timed mini-games in order to change a
mood of a certain character.
