Playing Kafka 0/1

Playing Kafka is a fully-voiced, narrative adventure game that immerses players in a world of impenetrable schemes, never-ending plot twists, and conversations that defy logic. Developed based on the life and works of Franz Kafka, this indie game aims to capture Kafka’s unsettling vision of modern society's alienation and bureaucratic life. Delving into themes of alienation and familial issues inspired by Kafka's famous works, Playing Kafka offers a unique gaming experience that challenges players to make crucial decisions in a web of unclear rules and machinations.

One of the standout features of Playing Kafka is its fully-voiced story that branches into multiple directions, accompanied by atmospheric puzzles and fateful decisions. The drag-and-drop gameplay mechanics breathe life into the characters and environments, enhancing the interactive experience. While the puzzles are relatively straightforward and supported by hints to prevent frustration, the game's intent is to provide a contemplative journey rather than a stressful one. Each chapter, based on Kafka's iconic works, offers a unique yet cohesive experience, lasting approximately 1.5 hours, filled with profound narrative elements.
