"Kafka's Metamorphosis" is an emotional narrative game based on the life of Franz Kafka and his renowned novella, "The Metamorphosis." Set in the autumn of 1912, the game depicts Kafka's struggles as a writer, grappling with societal expectations as a young man, employee, and eldest son. It explores the genesis of "The Metamorphosis," drawing inspiration from Kafka's literary world and personal life, particularly his works "The Metamorphosis" and "The Judgment," both reflecting his complex relationship with his father. The game focuses on the conflict between Kafka's identity as a writer and his father's expectations, a universal theme of feeling insignificant or undervalued under pressure, resonating with audiences across time.
Uncover Kafka's choices and creative process in "Kafka's Metamorphosis." This game offers a lyrical and melancholic experience with simple touch controls and a fast-paced, short narrative, similar to a short film. Explore Kafka's daily life and inner world, experiencing a range of emotions and stories. Subsequently reading Kafka's works will offer a fresh perspective. Beyond "The Metamorphosis" and "The Judgment," the game incorporates elements from "The Castle," "The Trial," his diaries, and letters.
