MazM's latest Android game, Kafka's Metamorphosis, offers a captivating narrative experience. Known for titles like Jekyll & Hyde and Phantom of the Opera, MazM again blends family drama, romance, mystery, and psychological horror.

Delving into Kafka's World:

This short-form game explores the life of Franz Kafka, focusing on his pivotal year of 1912, when he wrote The Metamorphosis. Players witness Kafka's struggle to balance his writing aspirations with his responsibilities as a young man, employee, and son, ultimately uncovering the inspiration behind his most famous work.

The game draws inspiration from Kafka's life and works, including The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, which explore themes of isolation and familial pressure. Kafka's Metamorphosis presents these struggles through Kafka's own perspective, highlighting the timeless relevance of societal expectations and the pursuit of passion.

While the themes are weighty, the game avoids excessive sadness or negativity, instead offering a unique perspective and a blend of poetic storytelling and emotional depth. See a glimpse of the game below:

A Literary Gaming Experience:

Featuring beautiful illustrations and a lyrical style, Kafka's Metamorphosis successfully bridges literature and gaming. Beyond The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, the game also incorporates elements from The Castle, The Trial, and Kafka's personal writings.

Available for free on the Google Play Store, this game is a must-have for fans of literary adaptations. MazM is also developing a new horror/occult title based on Edgar Allan Poe's works. Stay tuned!
