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

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

Exploring Kafka's World

This short-form narrative game delves into the life of Franz Kafka, specifically his pivotal year of 1912 when he penned The Metamorphosis. Players witness Kafka's struggles balancing his writing aspirations with his responsibilities as a young man, employee, and son, ultimately uncovering the inspiration behind his iconic novella.

The game draws inspiration from Kafka's life and works, including The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, exploring themes of isolation and familial pressure. While the source material deals with weighty subjects, the game presents these themes in a way that's both engaging and emotionally resonant, offering a fresh perspective on familiar struggles.

The game features poetic storytelling and emotional depth, creating a unique blend of literary and gaming elements. See a preview below:
