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

MazM's new Android game, Kafka's Metamorphosis, offers a captivating exploration of Franz Kafka's life and works. Known for titles like Jekyll & Hyde and Phantom of the Opera, MazM again blends family drama, romance, mystery, and psychological horror.

What is Kafka's Metamorphosis?

This short narrative game delves into Kafka's life in 1912, the year he penned The Metamorphosis. It portrays his struggles balancing his writing aspirations with his responsibilities as a young man, employee, and son, ultimately revealing the inspiration behind his iconic novella.

The game draws inspiration from Kafka's life and works, including The Metamorphosis, The Judgment, The Castle, and The Trial, as well as his personal writings. It explores themes of isolation and familial pressure, mirroring the surreal world of The Metamorphosis, where Gregor Samsa transforms into an insect. These timeless themes of expectation, societal pressures, and pursuing passion resonate as strongly today as they did in 1912.

Despite its weighty subject matter, the game avoids excessive sadness or negativity. Instead, it presents a unique perspective through poetic storytelling and emotional depth. See a glimpse of the game below:
