Metamorphosis: A Mind-Bending Adventure Awaits

MazM's latest Android game, Kafka's Metamorphosis, offers a unique blend of family drama, romance, mystery, and psychological horror. Known for titles like Jekyll & Hyde and Phantom of the Opera, MazM continues its trend of adapting classic literature into engaging mobile experiences.

Exploring Kafka's World

This short-form narrative game delves into the life of Franz Kafka, specifically focusing on his pivotal year of 1912, when he penned his iconic novella, The Metamorphosis. Players witness Kafka's struggles balancing his aspirations as a writer with his responsibilities as a son and employee, ultimately uncovering the inspiration behind his masterpiece.

The game draws inspiration not only from The Metamorphosis but also from The Judgment, exploring themes of isolation and familial pressure. It presents these timeless struggles through Kafka's own perspective, highlighting the enduring relevance of societal expectations and the pursuit of passion.

While the subject matter might seem heavy, the game avoids excessive sadness or negativity. Instead, it delivers a poignant and poetic narrative with emotional depth, offering a fresh perspective on familiar themes. See a glimpse of the game below:

A Literary Gaming Experience

Kafka's Metamorphosis features beautifully rendered illustrations and a concise, lyrical style. It successfully bridges the gap between literature and gaming, incorporating elements from Kafka's other works, including The Castle, The Trial, and his personal writings.

Available now for free on the Google Play Store, this game is a must-have for fans of literary adaptations and narrative adventures. MazM is already working on its next project – a horror/occult game based on the tales of Edgar Allan Poe.
