MazM, the studio behind popular narrative games like Jekyll & Hyde, Phantom of the Opera, and Pechka, presents their latest Android title: Kafka's Metamorphosis. This new game blends family drama, romance, mystery, and a touch of psychological horror, following in the footsteps of their critically acclaimed previous releases.
What is Kafka's Metamorphosis?
Kafka's Metamorphosis is a short-form narrative game delving into the life of Franz Kafka, focusing on the pivotal autumn of 1912, when he penned his iconic novella, The Metamorphosis. Experience the challenges Kafka faced balancing his aspirations as a writer with his responsibilities as a young man, employee, and son. Uncover the driving forces behind the creation of his most famous work.
Drawing inspiration from Kafka's life and works, particularly The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, the game explores themes of isolation and familial pressure. You'll witness these struggles through Kafka's eyes, experiencing the weight of expectations, societal pressures, and the pursuit of passion—feelings as relevant in 2024 as they were in 1912. While the subject matter is weighty, the game offers a unique perspective, blending poetic storytelling with emotional depth, rather than focusing solely on sadness or despair.

A More Human and Relatable Experience
With beautifully rendered illustrations and a lyrical, concise narrative, Kafka's Metamorphosis successfully bridges the gap between literature and gaming. Beyond The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, the game also incorporates inspiration from Kafka's other notable works, including The Castle, The Trial, and his personal diaries and letters.
If you enjoy narrative-driven games, download Kafka's Metamorphosis from the Google Play Store—it's free to play! MazM is also currently developing their next game, a horror/occult title based on the tales of Edgar Allan Poe, including The Black Cat and The Fall of the House of Usher.
