"Kafka's Metamorphosis" is an emotionally resonant 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 aims to explore the genesis of "The Metamorphosis."
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 resonates with universal themes of familial pressure and identity. "Kafka's Metamorphosis" uniquely emphasizes the conflict between Kafka's identity as a writer and his father's expectations, highlighting feelings of insignificance relevant to both Kafka's time and contemporary audiences.
Uncover Kafka's choices and creative process in this lyrical and melancholic experience. Simple touch controls and a fast-paced narrative, reminiscent of a short film, allow players to 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, including "The Castle" and "The Trial," as well as his diaries and letters, enriching subsequent readings.
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.
