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 author, particularly the period surrounding his masterpiece, "The Metamorphosis" (1912).
The game explores Kafka's internal struggles as a writer grappling with societal expectations as a young man, employee, and eldest son. It aims to illuminate the genesis of "The Metamorphosis," drawing inspiration from his literary world and life, including key works like "The Judgment," both deeply connected to his complex relationship with his father. The game focuses on the familial conflicts, highlighting the tension between Kafka's identity as a writer and his father's aspirations for him. It resonates with the universal feeling of insignificance and pressure, a sentiment both timeless and deeply personal to Kafka.
Kafka's Metamorphosis offers a lyrical and melancholic journey, using simple touch controls and a fast-paced narrative reminiscent of a short film. Players will explore Kafka's daily life and inner world, experiencing a spectrum of emotions and stories. The game subtly incorporates elements from "The Castle" and "The Trial," as well as Kafka's diaries and letters, enriching the understanding of his works.
