MazM's latest Android game, Kafka's Metamorphosis, offers a captivating blend of family drama, romance, mystery, and psychological horror. Known for titles like Jekyll & Hyde and Phantom of the Opera, MazM continues its tradition of blending literature with gaming.
What is Kafka's Metamorphosis?
This short-form narrative game delves into the life of Franz Kafka, focusing on his pivotal year of 1912, the time he penned The Metamorphosis. Experience Kafka's struggles balancing his writing aspirations with his responsibilities as a young man, employee, and son. Uncover the motivations behind his most famous work.
The game draws inspiration from Kafka's life and works, including The Metamorphosis, The Judgment, The Castle, and The Trial, as well as his personal writings. It explores themes of isolation and familial pressure, mirroring the surreal world of Gregor Samsa's transformation. While dealing with weighty themes, the game presents them poetically and avoids excessive sadness or negativity, offering a fresh perspective on familiar struggles.
A More Accessible Approach
Featuring beautiful illustrations and a lyrical narrative style, Kafka's Metamorphosis successfully bridges the gap between literature and gaming. Available now on the Google Play Store, this free-to-play game is a must-have for fans of the genre. MazM is already developing its next project, a horror/occult game based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
