Summary

Metamorphosis is a first-person puzzle platforming adventure. Wake up as Gregor, turned into a tiny bug, and use your newfound abilities and nimble legs to uncover the truth behind your mysterious transformation.

Storyline

You awaken one morning to discover that you have been transformed into a tiny bug. This is rather inconvenient, as your friend Joseph is being arrested for reasons unknown and he can’t recognize you like this.

To save Joseph and to find the answers you seek, you must embark on a perilous journey through a strange world which, like yourself, has turned twisted and unfamiliar.

What once seemed like mundane dwellings has become an expansive obstacle course, and you’ll have to leap, climb, and chart your path through the dingy nooks and crannies that exist within the cracks of civilization.

Metamorphosis is an extraordinary adventure through surrealist landscapes. Use your wits to unravel the truth and return to the life you once knew.

Plus qu'un jeu, c'est une plongée dans l'oeuvre intégrale de Kafka. La direction artistique est magnifique, le gameplay simple mais efficace,Plus qu'un jeu, c'est une plongée dans l'oeuvre intégrale de Kafka. La direction artistique est magnifique, le gameplay simple mais efficace, les décors sont vertigineux et les personnages magnifiquement écrits. Ils ont même designé des personnages issus des nouvelles les plus méconnues de l'auteur.Ce jeu est pour moi un chef d'oeuvre qui redonne ses lettres de noblesse au jeux vidéo comme outil culturel.

Inspired by Franz Kafka, this great mix between weird fiction and magical realism casts you in the role of a man turned suddenly and inexplicably into a little bug and lets you explore a civilization built by insects but resembling our own. In many aspects Metamorphosis is crude, but the unsettling atmosphere of the strangely bureaucratic insect world, unusual music, solid voice-acting, and dialogues full of legal gibberish that illustrates said bureaucracy make the game unique.

Unconventional mixture of adventure and platformer is seasoned with a lot of true Kafka-like bizarreness, which makes Metamorphosis interesting especially for those who are familiar with the author's work.

Metamorphosis is a true homage to the works of Franz Kafka… but at the same time, it’s not a very good game. Try it out if you adore Kafka already, but everybody else should grab one of his books instead.

Video games have long trafficked in the absurd and impractical so why not extend the Kafkaesque to the medium that gave us the Mushroom Kingdom?
