MazM's new 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 game delves into the life of Franz Kafka in 1912, the year he penned The Metamorphosis.
Exploring Kafka's World:
This short-form narrative game explores the challenges Kafka faced balancing his writing aspirations with his responsibilities as a young man, employee, and son. Players uncover the motivations behind his iconic novella. The game draws inspiration from The Metamorphosis, The Judgment, The Castle, and The Trial, as well as Kafka's personal writings. It captures the themes of isolation and familial pressure, presenting these timeless struggles through Kafka's perspective. While dealing with weighty themes, the game maintains a poetic and emotionally resonant tone, avoiding overly bleak or depressing feelings.
A Literary Gaming Experience:
Kafka's Metamorphosis features beautifully rendered illustrations and a lyrical narrative style, successfully bridging literature and gaming. MazM's next project, a horror/occult game based on Edgar Allan Poe's works, is also in development. Download Kafka's Metamorphosis for free from the Google Play Store today!
