What Is Kafka’s Metamorphosis?

*Kafka’s Metamorphosis* is a captivating short-form narrative game that delves into the life of the renowned Czech writer, Franz Kafka. Specifically, it focuses on the pivotal fall of 1912, when Kafka penned his iconic novella, *The Metamorphosis*. As you play, you'll immerse yourself in Kafka’s struggle to balance his aspirations as a writer with his duties as a young man, employee, and son. The game guides you through the motivations behind Kafka’s creation of his most celebrated work.

Drawing heavily from Kafka’s life and his seminal works, including *The Metamorphosis* and *The Judgment*, the game encapsulates the essence of his writing. *The Metamorphosis* itself narrates the surreal tale of Gregor Samsa, who awakens one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. Kafka’s works often explore themes of isolation and familial pressures, and *Kafka’s Metamorphosis* reflects these struggles through Kafka's own eyes. The game poignantly captures the weight of societal expectations and the yearning to pursue one's passions, feelings that remain relevant from 1912 to 2024.

While the themes may seem heavy, *Kafka’s Metamorphosis* ensures an engaging experience without leaving you feeling downcast.
