    The story aspect of the game is highly praised for its engaging narrative inspired by Franz Kafka's life and works, with many players feeling a deep connection to the themes and characters. The art style and sound effects enhance the storytelling experience, although some users express frustration with the frequent ads that disrupt gameplay and hinder their ability to revisit chapters. Overall, while the storytelling is compelling and beautifully illustrated, the game's format as a visual novel may not appeal to everyone.

    • “The story is great; I really feel for Kafka here as someone who loves his writing and oddly relates to him.”
    • “Finished the game finally and I can say the story was awesome!”
    • “This game doesn't leave much to the imagination; I'm really interested in the story because it follows up with what little I know about Kafka, but this teaches me much more about him and his philosophies!”
    • “Having to wait 4 minutes per each ad and having to repeat that 4 more times... and then wait 4 more minutes to play... it has basically made me hesitate to even open the app even though I love the story.”
    • “I honestly don't know if this should even be called a 'game' when it's just tapping through a story like a visual novel with some effects.”
    • “This game doesn't leave much to the imagination, I'm really interested in the story because it follows up with what little I know about Kafka, but this teaches me much more about him and his philosophies!”

    The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with users praising the top-tier visuals, impressive art style, and effective storytelling. Many appreciate how the graphics enhance the game's narrative, particularly in its interpretation of Kafka's "Metamorphosis." Overall, players find the visuals captivating and a significant draw to the game.

  • monetization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism, particularly for the excessive number of ads required to progress through chapters, especially from Act 2 onward, where players must watch four ads to access a single episode. While some players are willing to endure the ads for the sake of the story, many feel that the frequency and wait times between ads detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration and a lower rating. A more balanced approach to monetization, such as fewer ads or the option to pay for ad-free gameplay, could improve player satisfaction.

    • “In order to play the chapters of Act 2, you have to watch four ads to even open them.”
    • “The problem is that from Act 2 and on you need to watch 4 ads to continue for every chapter.”
    • “The game looks very good; I played the first act and it felt good, but from the second act I had to watch 4 ads to play 1 episode. I mean, 1 or 2 would have been fine, but 4 ads for 1 episode?”
  • music
