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

Kafka’s Metamorphosis is a new game on Android by MazM. They’ve delivered popular titles like Jekyll & Hyde, Phantom of the Opera, Pechka – Story Adventure Game and Hyde & Seek: Card Battle Story. This game also follows in the footsteps of their previous ones, blending family drama, romance, mystery and a bit of psychological horror.Know What Is Kafka’s Metamorphosis?It’s a short-form narrative game that digs deep into the life of the famous Czech writer Franz Kafka. It focuses particularly on the fall of 1912 when he wrote his iconic novella, The Metamorphosis.The game lets you peek into the challenges Kafka faced in balancing his identity as a writer with his responsibilities as a young man, employee and son. You’ll eventually discover why Kafka felt compelled to write his most famous story.The game takes inspiration from Kafka’s life as well as his well-known works, especially The Metamorphosis and The Judgment. The Metamorphosis tells the surreal story of Gregor Samsa, a young man who wakes up one day transformed into a giant insect.These books depict the themes of isolation and familial pressure. In Kafka’s Metamorphosis, you’ll see similar struggles through the eyes of Kafka himself. The weight of expectations, societal pressures and the desire to follow one’s passion are feelings as real in 2024 as they were in 1912.I know it has probably become too heavy. Don’t worry, the game will not make you feel sad or low. It’s just a different perspective of how we usually see things. The game is a mix of poetic storytelling and emotional depth. On that note, catch a glimpse of Kafka’s Metamorphosis below.

More Human And More RelatableThe game has well-drawn illustrations and is lyrical and compact. I feel like the game has done a decent job of connecting literature with gaming. Along with The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, the game also draws inspiration from Kafka’s other famous works. That includes The Castle and The Trial, as well as his diaries and letters.
If such games are your cup of tea, then grab it from the Google Play Store. It’s free to play. By the way, MazM is also working on their next game. It’s a horror/occult title based on Edgar Allan Poe’s tales like The Black Cat and The Fall of the House of Usher.
