Have A Mind-Bending Experience In Kafka's Metamorphosis, A New Visual Novel Game

Author : Ryan Jan 16,2025

MazM's new 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 trend of blending literary classics with engaging gameplay.

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 The Metamorphosis. Players experience Kafka's internal struggles balancing his writing aspirations with his responsibilities as a young man, employee, and son. The game unravels the motivations behind Kafka's most famous work.

Drawing inspiration from The Metamorphosis, The Judgment, The Castle, and The Trial, as well as Kafka's personal writings, the game explores themes of isolation and familial pressure. While touching on weighty themes, Kafka's Metamorphosis maintains a poetic and emotionally resonant tone, offering a fresh perspective on familiar struggles.

A Literary Gaming Experience

The game features beautifully rendered illustrations and a lyrical, concise narrative. It successfully bridges the gap between literature and gaming, making Kafka's complex themes accessible and engaging.

Available now on the Google Play Store, Kafka's Metamorphosis is free-to-play. MazM is also developing a future horror/occult title based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
