It explores the genesis of "The Metamorphosis," drawing inspiration from Kafka's literary world and personal life, particularly his works "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 theme resonating with audiences today as it did in 1912.

Players will delve into Kafka's daily life and inner world, experiencing a range of emotions and stories.
