"Kafka's Metamorphosis" is an emotionally resonant game based on the life of Franz Kafka and his masterpiece, "The Metamorphosis." Set in the autumn of 1912, the game depicts Kafka's struggles as a writer while navigating the pressures of family, work, and societal expectations. It explores the genesis of "The Metamorphosis" itself.

The game draws inspiration from Kafka's literary world and personal life, particularly "The Metamorphosis" and "The Judgment," both deeply connected to his complex relationship with his father. The game focuses on the conflict between Kafka's identity as a writer and his father's expectations, a relatable struggle even today. It offers a unique perspective on the feelings of insignificance and pressure experienced by Kafka and countless others in 1912.

Uncover the choices Kafka made as a man and a writer in "Kafka's Metamorphosis." This game provides a lyrical and melancholic experience with simple touch controls and a fast-paced narrative akin to a short film. Players will delve into Kafka's daily life and inner world, encountering a range of emotions and stories. Playing the game enhances the appreciation of Kafka's works. Beyond the two aforementioned stories, the game also incorporates elements from "The Castle," "The Trial," his diaries, and letters.
