Our take on Metamorphosis
The store presentation puts strong emphasis on meaningful choices, multiple paths, and 13 endings. The stated average completion time is 3–4 hours, so the branching structure offers breadth within a relatively short single playthrough.
What is Metamorphosis?
Metamorphosis is an interactive visual novel about Mikey, a teenager sent to an institution for group psychotherapy after a personal tragedy.
Inside the asylum, he encounters supernatural events, unexplained disappearances, and residents carrying their own secrets. The principal and psychotherapist introduce him to the World of the Red Sun, where he develops new abilities and begins to change. Player decisions determine which of three major paths Mikey follows, with 13 possible endings and a secret scene available after completing them all. The experience includes quick-time events, screamers, animated scenes, music, dark humor, and a script exceeding 45,000 words. A complete walkthrough takes an average of 3–4 hours.
