Kafka's Metamorphosis

Experience a poignant short-form visual novel inspired by the life of Franz Kafka. This game, Kafka's Metamorphosis, delves into the emotional landscape of the renowned Czech writer, focusing on the period surrounding his creation of "The Metamorphosis" in the autumn of 1912.

The game portrays Kafka's internal struggles as a writer grappling with societal expectations as a young man, employee, and eldest son. It explores the genesis of "The Metamorphosis," drawing inspiration from Kafka's literary world and life, particularly his works "The Metamorphosis" and "The Judgment," both deeply connected to his complex relationship with his father. The game uniquely emphasizes the conflict between Kafka's identity as a writer and his father's expectations, a relatable theme resonating with audiences today.

Kafka's Metamorphosis uses "The Metamorphosis" as a central motif, but unlike the novella, it highlights the personal conflict between Kafka's aspirations and familial pressures. The game offers a lyrical and melancholic experience with intuitive touch controls and a concise narrative structure reminiscent of a short film. Players will journey through Kafka's daily life and inner world, experiencing a spectrum of emotions and narratives. Playing the game may enhance your appreciation of Kafka's works. Beyond the aforementioned stories, the game also incorporates elements from "The Castle," "The Trial," his diaries, and letters.
