Metamorphosis
You wake up one morning to find that you are rather inconveniently transforming into a tiny bug, while your friend Joseph is being arrested for reasons unknown. To save him and to find the answers you seek, you must embark on a journey through a world which, like yourself, has become twisted and unfamiliar. What once seemed like mundane dwellings have become an expansive obstacle course, and now you’ll have to chart your path through the dingy nooks and crannies that exist within the cracks of civilization. Use your wits to unravel the truth, and regain the life you once knew. A bug's perspective in first person – experience the world in a whole new way Challenging environmental puzzles – parkour, wall climb, search for clues, and overcome obstacles Unique movement mechanics – make full use of your tiny body and sticky limbs A story inspired by Kafka’s imagination – meet eccentric characters in a hand-painted world, as you journey through surrealist landscapes towards The Tower

Ever wonder what it's like waking up one day and turning into a bug? Well, in this case, this might be the game you've been looking for. The story is more of a fan remake rather than strictly following Kafka's novella so it really doesn't matter if you read the book or not. Think of this game as an alternate interpretation of the events that unfolded in the original work. Gameplay-wise the game was less appealing to me, it's basically a simple platformer where you can talk to different bugs and discover a couple of interesting spots along the way. I definitely recommend this game to those who like story based games, otherwise it's kinda meh.

What a weird game. I enjoyed it but I don't know if I can recommend it. It's a walking sim in which you can run, already setting itself at the top of the genre, and I liked the scenarios, but maybe I expected more than another fetch quest simulator for a game carrying such a heavy name on its back.

I like unique games that presents itself to stand alone as something special thinking outside the box. This game was just that for me. Enjoyed the game play. Games are made to tell a different story that takes you from the everyday life of routine. Immerse yourself as a bug to escape.

The game is around 2 hours long so the price is pretty high for what you get. The story is good though, so get the game on sale.

I found this game very enjoyable. The platforming is very responsive, the story is fascinating, a re-imagination of Kafka's most famous texts (The Trial and Metamorphosis, with other such as Hunger Artist thrown in as side quests). Overall a great game that, even though linear, offers many opportunities to interact with the world and create your own story.

Very enjoyable 1st person platforming and exploration with some witty dialogue along the way. It's a good 9+ hrs for the completionist, very much worth the price.
