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.
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?
