"Kafka's Metamorphosis" is an emotional game based on the life of Franz Kafka and his renowned novella, "The Metamorphosis." Set in the autumn of 1912, the game depicts Kafka's struggles as a writer, balancing societal pressures as a young man, employee, and eldest son. It explores the genesis of "The Metamorphosis," drawing inspiration from Kafka's literary world, life, and works, particularly "The Metamorphosis" and "The Judgment," both reflecting his complex relationship with his father. The game focuses on the conflict between Kafka's identity as a writer and his father's expectations, mirroring the feelings of insignificance and pressure experienced by many, both then and now.
Uncover Kafka's choices and the creation of his stories in this lyrical and melancholic experience. Simple touch controls and a fast-paced narrative, reminiscent of a short film, allow players to explore Kafka's daily life and inner world, experiencing a range of emotions. Playing the game enhances appreciation for Kafka's works, including "The Castle" and "The Trial," as well as his diaries and letters.
Following "Kafka's Metamorphosis," MazM will release a game reinterpreting Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat" and "The Fall of the House of Usher," marking their debut into the horror/occult genre.
