Playing Kafka Brings Tough Choices To Android This May!

Playing Kafka, a narrative adventure inspired by Franz Kafka’s life and works, will soon be available on Android devices! It lets you scour a universe influenced by three of Kafka’s most well-known pieces: The Trial, The Castle, and Letter to His Father.

A Branching Story

The game opens with an arrest. You are accused of a crime you did not commit and are thrown into a maze-like justice system. As you work through this bizarre and impenetrable system (one might even say Kafkaesque?), you will make some confusing decisions. Your every choice creates a story and takes you down an unknown route.

Playing Kafka doesn’t require a straight answer. It involves negotiating a world where rules constantly change and reasoning breaks down. The game captures the unnerving sense of helplessness throughout Kafka’s literature. Will you attempt to negotiate its unwritten norms or take on the system head-on?

Additionally, the game explores Kafka’s tense relationship with his father. Through a sequence of memories, you experience the emotional upheaval of their relationship. Will you be able to put words between them?

Haunting Sceneries And Ambient Puzzles

The game uses an original drag-and-drop mechanism to move people and things around you. This novel technique gives Kafka’s eerie images of life and makes you feel part of the drama as it develops.

Playing Kafka takes about 1.5 hours to complete. Though short, the game addresses important subjects like guilt, isolation, and the need to find purpose in an absurd world.

The game, created in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut in Prague, guarantees an honorable and perceptive examination of the author’s works.

The game provides a greater understanding of the author’s topics and writing style and was developed with advice from Kafka experts. Playing out Kafka’s themes of alienation and societal absurdity has excellent resonance in the modern world. The game encourages you to challenge authority, work through intricate systems, and investigate what truth is.

Playing Kafka arrives on Android on May 21st, 2024! So, stay tuned to their official website to track the latest updates on the game!
