Kafka's Metamorphosis: Experience an Astounding Visual Novel Game

MazM's new Android game, Kafka's Metamorphosis, offers a captivating narrative experience. Following the success of titles like Jekyll & Hyde, Phantom of the Opera, and Pechka, this game blends family drama, romance, mystery, and psychological horror.

Delving into Kafka's World:

This short-form narrative game explores the life of Franz Kafka, focusing on his pivotal year of 1912 and the creation of his iconic novella, The Metamorphosis. Players witness Kafka's struggles balancing his writing aspirations with his responsibilities as a son and employee, ultimately uncovering the impetus behind 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 echoing the surreal transformation of Gregor Samsa, Kafka's Metamorphosis presents these struggles through Kafka's own perspective, highlighting the timeless relevance of societal expectations and the pursuit of passion.

Despite the weighty themes, the game avoids excessive bleakness, instead offering a poetic and emotionally resonant narrative. The following video provides a glimpse into the gameplay:

Available now on the Google Play Store, this free-to-play game is a must-have for fans of narrative adventures. MazM is also developing a new horror/occult title based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
