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

MazM's new Android game, Kafka's Metamorphosis, delves into the life of Franz Kafka, focusing on his pivotal year of 1912 when he penned The Metamorphosis. This narrative adventure game, following the style of MazM's successful titles like Jekyll & Hyde and Phantom of the Opera, blends family drama, romance, mystery, and psychological horror.

Exploring Kafka's World

Kafka's Metamorphosis is a short narrative game exploring Kafka's personal struggles: balancing his writing aspirations with his responsibilities as a young man, employee, and son. The game reveals the driving forces behind his iconic novella. It draws inspiration not only from The Metamorphosis, but also from The Judgment, showcasing themes of isolation and familial pressure familiar to both Kafka's time and our own. While exploring heavy themes, the game maintains a poetic and emotionally resonant style, offering a fresh perspective on familiar struggles.

A Unique Blend of Literature and Gaming

Featuring beautiful illustrations and a lyrical narrative, Kafka's Metamorphosis successfully bridges the gap between literature and gaming. Beyond The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, the game also incorporates elements from The Castle, The Trial, Kafka's diaries, and letters, creating a rich and immersive experience.

Available now on the Google Play Store, this free-to-play game is a must-have for fans of the genre. MazM is also developing their next game, a horror/occult title based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Check out our coverage of Warcraft Rumble's Season 9 for more gaming news.
