Our take on Metamorphosis
The defining detail is the bug-scale perspective: familiar dwellings become expansive obstacle courses, while sticky limbs and wall climbing shape Gregor’s movement through them.
What is Metamorphosis?
Metamorphosis is a first-person adventure in which Gregor becomes a tiny bug while his friend Joseph is arrested.
Gregor travels through a surreal world where familiar dwellings have become expansive obstacle courses. The journey involves charting a route through dingy nooks and crannies, searching for clues, overcoming obstacles, and using newfound abilities. Environmental puzzles combine parkour, wall climbing, and movement with sticky limbs. The story follows Gregor as he investigates his transformation, seeks answers about Joseph’s arrest, and works toward regaining his former life. The game presents a hand-painted world with eccentric characters and surrealist landscapes, leading toward The Tower. Its premise and setting draw inspiration from Kafka’s imagination.
