Kafka's Metamorphosis is an emotionally charged short-form story game inspired by the life of the renowned Czech writer Franz Kafka and his iconic novella, The Metamorphosis. Set against the backdrop of the fall of 1912, the game immerses players in Kafka's struggles as he navigates the pressures of being a young man, an employee, and the eldest son while striving to fulfill his passion for writing. This game delves deep into the motivations behind Kafka's creation of The Metamorphosis.
The game draws inspiration from Kafka's literary universe, particularly his notable works such as The Metamorphosis and The Judgment. These narratives reflect Kafka's lifelong challenges, especially his tumultuous relationship with his father. The Metamorphosis resonates universally, portraying the plight of an eldest son who undergoes a grotesque transformation into a vermin. The game emphasizes the conflict between Kafka's identity as a writer and the expectations imposed by his father, offering players a unique perspective on his life.
The feeling of insignificance under societal pressure is a theme that transcends time. Just as we grapple with these emotions today, Kafka and many others faced similar struggles in 1912. Kafka's Metamorphosis invites players to discover how Kafka, both as a human and a writer, made pivotal choices that shaped his narratives.
This game provides a lyrical and melancholic experience, featuring intuitive touch controls and a fast-paced narrative akin to a short film. Players will journey through Franz Kafka’s daily life and inner thoughts, encountering a spectrum of emotions and stories. Engaging with Kafka’s works after playing the game will offer a fresh and enriching experience. In addition to The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, the game also references Kafka’s novels such as The Castle and The Trial, along with his diaries and letters.
Following the success of Kafka's Metamorphosis, MazM is excited to announce a new project that reinterprets Edgar Allan Poe’s classic tales, including The Black Cat and The Fall of the House of Usher. This marks MazM's inaugural venture into the horror and occult genre, promising an intriguing experience for fans of the macabre.
