Kafka's Metamorphosis is an emotionally charged short-form story game inspired by the life of Czech writer Franz Kafka and his renowned novella, The Metamorphosis. Set in the autumn of 1912, during the time Kafka penned his transformative work, the game delves into his struggles to reconcile his identity as a writer with societal expectations as a young man, employee, and eldest son. It seeks to explore the motivations behind Kafka's creation of The Metamorphosis.

Drawing heavily from Kafka’s literary universe, the game reflects on significant works such as The Metamorphosis and The Judgment, both intricately linked to his lifelong challenges with paternal relationships. Particularly, The Metamorphosis resonates globally, portraying the existential plight of an eldest son who undergoes a grotesque transformation. This narrative serves as a focal point for examining the tensions between Kafka’s literary identity and his father's aspirations for him.

The themes of insignificance and societal pressure resonate not only in Kafka’s time but also in contemporary society. Players will uncover how Kafka navigated his dual existence as both a writer and a person, ultimately shaping his storytelling in Kafka's Metamorphosis.

This game presents a lyrical, melancholic experience with user-friendly touch controls and a concise narrative structure reminiscent of a short film. Players will immerse themselves in Kafka's daily life and emotional landscape, encountering a spectrum of feelings and narratives. Engaging with Kafka’s literature after gameplay will enhance appreciation, with references extended beyond The Metamorphosis and The Judgment to include works such as The Castle and The Trial, along with extracts from his diaries and correspondences.

In addition to Kafka's Metamorphosis, MazM is set to reinterpret Edgar Allan Poe’s classics, including The Black Cat and The Fall of the House of Usher. This marks MazM's inaugural venture into horror and the occult genre.
