MazM's latest Android game, Kafka's Metamorphosis, offers a unique 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 The Metamorphosis.
Exploring Kafka's World
The game explores Kafka's internal struggles: balancing his aspirations as a writer with his responsibilities as a son and employee. It reveals the pressures that fueled his iconic novella. The game draws inspiration not only from The Metamorphosis but also from The Judgment, showcasing themes of isolation and familial pressure. While dealing with weighty themes, the game maintains a poetic and emotionally resonant style, offering a fresh perspective on familiar struggles.
A Literary Gaming Experience
Kafka's Metamorphosis features beautifully rendered illustrations and a concise, lyrical narrative. It successfully bridges the gap between literature and gaming, incorporating elements from The Castle, The Trial, Kafka's diaries, and letters. The game is free-to-play and available on the Google Play Store.
MazM's next project promises another intriguing title, a horror/occult game based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, including The Black Cat and The Fall of the House of Usher. Stay tuned for more updates!
