"Kafka's Metamorphosis" is an emotional narrative game based on the life of Franz Kafka and his renowned novella, "The Metamorphosis." Set in the autumn of 1912, the game depicts Kafka's struggles as a writer while navigating societal pressures as a young man, employee, and eldest son. It delves into the motivations behind Kafka's creation of "The Metamorphosis."

Drawing inspiration from Kafka's literary world and life, including "The Metamorphosis" and "The Judgment" (both reflecting his complex relationship with his father), the game resonates with universal themes of familial conflict and the feeling of insignificance. Unlike Kafka's original, this game emphasizes the conflict between Kafka's identity as a writer and his father's expectations. The pressure to conform, a feeling relevant both to Kafka's time and our own, is central to the narrative.

Uncover Kafka's choices and creative process in "Kafka's Metamorphosis." This game offers a lyrical and melancholic experience with intuitive touch controls and a fast-paced, short narrative, similar to a short film. Players will explore Kafka's daily life and inner world, experiencing a range of emotions and stories. Playing the game will enrich your understanding and appreciation of Kafka's works. The game also incorporates elements from "The Castle," "The Trial," Kafka's diaries, and letters.

Following "Kafka's Metamorphosis," MazM is developing a game reinterpreting Edgar Allan Poe's classic tales, "The Black Cat" and "The Fall of the House of Usher," marking MazM's debut into the horror/occult genre.
