"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. The game explores the genesis of "The Metamorphosis," drawing inspiration from Kafka's literary world, life, and works, particularly "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 theme resonating with audiences worldwide due to its portrayal of familial struggles.
Unlike the novella, Kafka's Metamorphosis emphasizes the internal conflict between his writerly aspirations and paternal pressures. This feeling of insignificance under pressure is a universal experience, echoing Kafka's life and the experiences of countless others in 1912. Uncover Kafka's choices and creative process in this lyrical and melancholic game.
Featuring simple touch controls and a fast-paced narrative reminiscent of a short film, players will delve into Kafka's daily life and inner world, experiencing a range of emotions and stories. Playing the game enhances the appreciation of Kafka's works, offering a fresh perspective on "The Metamorphosis," "The Judgment," "The Castle," "The Trial," and his personal writings.
Following "Kafka's Metamorphosis," MazM is developing a game reinterpreting Edgar Allan Poe's classic tales, "The Black Cat" and "The Fall of the House of Usher," marking MazM's debut into the horror/occult genre.
