Experience a story set in between dream and reality in a game based on the work of an iconic writer.

Playing Kafka is a surreal adventure game set in the world of Franz Kafka, loosely based on his novels Castle, The Trial and Letter to his Father. The usual rules don’t apply in this video game. Can you follow them?

The video game will be available for free and will be released on PC and mobile in 2024, for the 100th anniversary of Kafka’s death.
