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

MazM's latest Android release, Kafka's Metamorphosis, offers a captivating blend of family drama, romance, mystery, and psychological horror, following in the footsteps of their successful titles like Jekyll & Hyde and Phantom of the Opera.

Understanding Kafka's Metamorphosis

This short-form narrative game delves into the life of Franz Kafka, specifically focusing on his pivotal year of 1912, when he penned his iconic novella, The Metamorphosis. Players experience Kafka's struggles balancing his aspirations as a writer with his responsibilities as a young man, employee, and son. The game unravels 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 explores themes of isolation and familial pressure. It presents these struggles through Kafka's perspective, highlighting the timeless relevance of societal expectations and the pursuit of passion.

Despite the weighty themes, the game avoids inducing sadness or negativity, instead offering a unique perspective on familiar struggles through poetic storytelling and emotional depth. See a glimpse of the game below:

A More Accessible Approach

The game features beautifully rendered illustrations and a lyrical, concise narrative. It successfully bridges the gap between literature and gaming, drawing inspiration not only from The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, but also from The Castle, The Trial, and Kafka's personal writings.

Available for free on the Google Play Store, Kafka's Metamorphosis is a must-have for fans of this genre. MazM is also developing their next game, a horror/occult title based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
