Kafka's Metamorphosis: Immersive Visual Novel Unveils Mind-Bending Journey

MazM's latest Android game, Kafka's Metamorphosis, offers a captivating blend of family drama, romance, mystery, and psychological horror. This new title follows the successful formula established in previous MazM games like Jekyll & Hyde and Phantom of the Opera, creating a unique gaming experience.

Exploring Kafka's Life and Works:

This short-form narrative game delves into the life of Franz Kafka, focusing on his pivotal year of 1912—the year he penned his iconic novella, The Metamorphosis. Players witness Kafka's struggles to reconcile his aspirations as a writer with his responsibilities as a son and employee, ultimately uncovering the inspiration behind his most famous work. The game draws inspiration not only from The Metamorphosis but also from The Judgment, The Castle, and The Trial, along with Kafka's personal diaries and letters. It explores themes of isolation and familial pressure, mirroring the surreal journey of Gregor Samsa in The Metamorphosis, but through the lens of Kafka himself. While dealing with weighty themes, the game maintains a poetic and emotionally resonant style, offering a fresh perspective on familiar struggles.

A Unique Literary Gaming Experience:

Kafka's Metamorphosis features beautifully rendered illustrations and a concise, lyrical narrative. It successfully bridges the gap between literature and gaming, providing a thoughtful and engaging experience. The game is free to play and available on the Google Play Store.

MazM is already developing their next project, a horror/occult game based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, including The Black Cat and The Fall of the House of Usher.
