Set in the autumn of 1912, the game depicts Kafka's struggles as a writer grappling with societal expectations as a young man, employee, and eldest son. The game explores the genesis of "The Metamorphosis," drawing inspiration from Kafka's literary world, life, and works, particularly "The Metamorphosis" and "The Judgment," both reflecting his complex relationship with his father. The game uniquely emphasizes the conflict between Kafka's identity as a writer and his father's expectations, a relatable theme resonating with audiences today.

Players will explore Kafka's daily life and inner world, experiencing a range of emotions and stories. Playing the game will enrich subsequent readings of Kafka's works.
