MazM's latest Android game, Kafka's Metamorphosis, offers a unique blend of family drama, romance, mystery, and psychological horror. Following the success of titles like Jekyll & Hyde and Phantom of the Opera, this narrative adventure delves into the life of Franz Kafka, focusing on his pivotal year of 1912 and the creation of his iconic novella, The Metamorphosis.
Exploring Kafka's World
The game explores Kafka's struggles balancing his writing aspirations with his responsibilities as a young man, employee, and son. Players uncover the driving forces behind his most famous work, drawing inspiration from his life, The Metamorphosis, and The Judgment. The game captures the themes of isolation and familial pressure present in Kafka's original works, presenting them through Kafka's own perspective. The emotional weight of expectations and societal pressures, relevant then as they are now, are central to the experience.
Despite its weighty themes, Kafka's Metamorphosis avoids being overly bleak. Instead, it presents a fresh perspective through poetic storytelling and emotional depth.
A Literary Gaming Experience
Featuring beautifully rendered illustrations and a concise, lyrical style, Kafka's Metamorphosis successfully bridges the gap between literature and gaming. Beyond The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, the game incorporates elements from The Castle, The Trial, Kafka's diaries, and letters.
Available now on the Google Play Store, this free-to-play game is a must-have for fans of narrative adventures. MazM is also currently developing a new horror/occult title based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
