Why play it

There are things that often fail on nothing but themselves. Is there even a way out? Playing Kafka is a narrative adventure full of impenetrable schemes, insidious plot twists and conversations that slip out of hand. Based on Kafka’s life and his work, developed with Kafka experts.

Story and worldbuilding

Although you did nothing wrong, you were arrested one morning. You arrived for work, but you don’t recognize your assistants. And your upbringing left you with a pervasive sense of guilt. Welcome to Playing Kafka, an adventure about the alienation of modern society as well as unresolved family issues. The game adapts three works of the famously absurdist writer and was created with leading Kafka experts.

The light adventure game based on the work of Franz Kafka pays tribute to the great writer, but the gameplay as such is severely limited.

Studio Charles Games is known for its unconventional games, which are unafraid of deep themes. Playing Kafka can once again be counted among these works. Although each person will have different feelings about the experience, all will take away a sense of the heavy ideas that Kafka uses in his works. You can influence the story, but only slightly. You'll keep asking yourself what you did wrong, what you could have done better, and how it all ended. The musical accompaniment adds to the experience, and the Czech dubbing adds an imaginary crown to it all.
