Experience a poignant short-form visual novel inspired by the life of Franz Kafka. This game, Kafka's Metamorphosis, delves into the emotional landscape of the renowned Czech writer, focusing on the period surrounding his creation of "The Metamorphosis" in the autumn of 1912.
The game explores Kafka's internal struggles as a writer grappling with societal pressures as a young man, employee, and eldest son. It aims to uncover the motivations behind his seminal work. Drawing inspiration from Kafka's literary world and life, including "The Metamorphosis" and "The Judgment"—both deeply connected to his complex relationship with his father—the game offers a unique perspective. While mirroring the novella's themes of familial conflict and transformation, Kafka's Metamorphosis emphasizes the clash between Kafka's writerly identity and his father's expectations. It resonates with contemporary audiences by highlighting feelings of insignificance and pressure, experiences both universal and deeply personal to Kafka's time.
Uncover Kafka's choices and creative process in this lyrical and melancholic experience. Featuring simple touch controls and a fast-paced narrative, the game unfolds like a short film, immersing players in Kafka's daily life and inner world. Playing the game enhances the appreciation of Kafka's works, providing a fresh perspective on his writing. Beyond the aforementioned stories, the game also incorporates elements from "The Castle," "The Trial," his diaries, and letters.
Following Kafka's Metamorphosis, MazM is developing a game reinterpreting Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat" and "The Fall of the House of Usher," marking their first venture into the horror/occult genre.
