Omschrijving

''Kafka's Metamorphosis' is an emotional short-form story game based on the life of Czech writer Franz Kafka and his most famous novella, 'The Metamorphosis'. The game is set in the fall of 1912 when Kafka wrote The Metamorphosis. It captures Kafka's struggle to live as a writer while being pressured to fulfill roles as a young man, employee, and eldest son. The game aims to explore and express why Kafka wrote The Metamorphosis.

The game is inspired by the literary world and life of Franz Kafka, as well as his various works. Among them, The Metamorphosis and The Judgment are the most representative, both closely related to Kafka’s lifelong difficulties with his father. The Metamorphosis, in particular, resonates with people worldwide as it depicts the struggles of an eldest son who transforms into a vermin. In Kafka's Metamorphosis, the novella serves as the central motif, focusing on Kafka and Gregor Samsa’s familial issues. The key difference is that Kafka's story emphasizes the conflict between his identity as a writer and his father's expectations.

The feeling of being insignificant or treated as such under pressure is something not only we face today but also what Kafka and countless others experienced in 1912. Discover how Kafka, both as a human and as a writer, made his choices and wrote his stories in Kafka's Metamorphosis.

This game offers a lyrical and melancholic experience with simple touch controls and a fast-paced, short-form narrative, much like a short film. Players will explore Franz Kafka’s daily life and inner world, experiencing a range of emotions and stories. Reading Kafka’s works encountered in the game afterward will provide a fresh and engaging experience. As a hint, beyond The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, the game draws on Kafka’s novels like 'The Castle' and 'The Trial', as well as his diaries and letters.

Following Kafka's Metamorphosis, MazM is preparing a story reinterpreting Edgar Allan Poe’s classic tales 'The Black Cat' and 'The Fall of the House of Usher'. This will be MazM's first foray into the horror/occult genre, so please look forward to it.
