MazM's new Android game, Kafka's Metamorphosis, offers a captivating blend of family drama, romance, mystery, and psychological horror. Following the success of titles like Jekyll & Hyde and Phantom of the Opera, this game delves into the life of Franz Kafka in 1912, the year he penned his iconic novella, The Metamorphosis.
Exploring Kafka's World
This short-form narrative game explores Kafka's internal struggles: balancing his aspirations as a writer with his responsibilities as a son and employee. Players uncover the motivations behind his most famous work, experiencing the pressures and expectations he faced. The game draws inspiration from The Metamorphosis, The Judgment, The Castle, and The Trial, along with Kafka's personal writings. While touching on themes of isolation and familial pressure, the game maintains a poetic and emotionally resonant tone, avoiding excessive bleakness.
A Unique Literary Gaming Experience
Kafka's Metamorphosis features beautifully rendered illustrations and a concise, lyrical narrative. It successfully bridges the gap between literature and gaming, offering a fresh perspective on familiar themes. The game is free to play on the Google Play Store. MazM's next project, a horror/occult game based on Edgar Allan Poe's works, is also in development.
