Experience Kafka

MazM's latest Android game, Kafka's Metamorphosis, offers a captivating blend of family drama, romance, mystery, and psychological horror. Following the success of titles like Jekyll & Hyde and Phantom of the Opera, this narrative adventure delves into the life of Franz Kafka in 1912, the year he penned his iconic novella, The Metamorphosis.

Exploring Kafka's World

This short-form game explores Kafka's internal struggles: balancing his aspirations as a writer with his responsibilities as a young man, employee, and son. Players uncover the motivations behind his most famous work, experiencing the themes of isolation and familial pressure that resonate deeply with The Metamorphosis and The Judgment. While tackling weighty themes, the game maintains a poetic and emotionally resonant style, offering a fresh perspective on familiar struggles.

A Unique Literary Gaming Experience

Featuring beautifully rendered illustrations and a concise, lyrical narrative, Kafka's Metamorphosis successfully bridges literature and gaming. The game draws inspiration not only from The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, but also from The Castle, The Trial, Kafka's diaries, and letters.

Available now on the Google Play Store, this free-to-play game is a must-have for fans of narrative adventures. MazM is already developing their next project, a horror/occult game based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
