To be honest, I don't usually read books. After ten or twenty pages, I feel like that's enough for me today but I don't really come back to finish it. But interestingly, I've finished this adaptation! It might be because of attention span of our generation but the interactive elements, drawings and sounds really helped me focus. 7/10. Pros : Made me finish a real book Really nice drawings & musics Nice writing (by kafka lmao) i would be interested in future adaptations like this (if they are under 10$ price range of course, this is not really a <<game>> but an interactive story also, this can use some audio narration too

the art is gorgeous and it's a faithful adaptation. it was fun reading my favorite book in this format
better than FIFA 21
- weird main menu behavior - steam screenshots don't work - inconsistent text display: ___narrative text displayed on whole screen most of the time but also on lower thirds ___main character gregor appears in lower thirds dialog box even though he has no dialogue + art and animation are ok during chapter 1 - art in chapters 2 & 3 was lackluster and didn't match the text * read the novel for free on [url=https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/5200]project gutenberg[/url] * listen to the audiobook for free on [url=https://librivox.org/the-metamorphosis-by-franz-kafka/]librivox[/url] * play the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1025410/Metamorphosis/]ovid works game[/url] instead
A timeless classic in narrative form with astounding visuals to accompany it. 10/10, would turn into an insect again.
I dont usually play games ,but I quite liked this concept of book adaptation, drewings & sound desing is really well done. :)
I liked this game. Illustrations are very very beautiful and little bit spooky
I did not know the novel before, I stayed away from Kafka I must admit, because I was tortured in school with him. Nevertheless I got hooked rightaway. Fascinating story and the grafics are beautiful. The sounds are fitting very well too. Altogether enjoyable and I will have more understanding for the little creatures from now on ;-)
I kept falling asleep trying to read this. The combination of no music for 99% of the time, no sound effects 99% of the time (the typewriter was annoying and promptly muted), the slow text speed (I know I can press space again to make it all appear, but I should just be able to use an option for that) and the real life source just killed it. I'll freely admit this was not for me so take this for what you will.
Loved the creepy artwork, very good adaption of the original story!
