Have A Mind-Bending Experience In Kafka's Metamorphosis, A New Visual Novel Game

MazM, the studio behind popular narrative games like Jekyll & Hyde, Phantom of the Opera, and Pechka, presents their latest Android title: Kafka's Metamorphosis. This new game blends family drama, romance, mystery, and a touch of psychological horror, continuing the studio's tradition of captivating storytelling.

What is Kafka's Metamorphosis?

Kafka's Metamorphosis is a short-form narrative game delving into the life of Franz Kafka, specifically focusing on the autumn of 1912, when he penned his iconic novella, The Metamorphosis. The game explores Kafka's struggles balancing his aspirations as a writer with his responsibilities as a young man, employee, and son. Players will uncover the motivations behind Kafka's creation of his most famous work.

Drawing inspiration from Kafka's life and works, including The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, the game portrays themes of isolation and familial pressure. While mirroring the struggles of Gregor Samsa in The Metamorphosis, the game presents these challenges through Kafka's own perspective. The timeless themes of societal expectations, personal ambition, and the weight of responsibility resonate as powerfully in 2024 as they did in 1912.

While the subject matter might seem heavy, the game offers a unique and ultimately uplifting perspective. Blending poetic storytelling with emotional depth, Kafka's Metamorphosis provides a fresh lens through which to view familiar struggles. Experience a glimpse into the game below:

More Human, More Relatable

Featuring beautifully rendered illustrations and a lyrical, concise narrative, Kafka's Metamorphosis successfully bridges the gap between literature and gaming. Beyond The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, the game also draws inspiration from Kafka's other notable works, including The Castle, The Trial, his diaries, and letters.
