About Metamorphosis

About this game

metamorphosis is a magical adventure inspired by the surreal imagination of Franz Kafka.

You wake up one morning to find that you are rather inconveniently transformed into a tiny bug. If that wasn’t enough, you soon witness your very close friend - Joseph K - being arrested! Is it related to your metamorphosis?

To get out of this mess, you must embark on a journey through a world hiding many secrets, that only a tiny insect - such as yourself - can uncover.

What once seemed like mundane dwellings, becomes an expansive obstacle course, and now you’ll have to chart your path through the nooks and crannies that exist within the cracks of civilization.

Use your wits, seek the truth, make new friends and regain the life you once knew.

Features;

  • A bug's perspective in first person - experience the world from a completely new point of view
  • Challenging environmental puzzles - parkour, wall climbing, searching for clues, and overcoming obstacles. Make full use of your tiny body and sticky limbs
  • Meet eccentric characters revealing the layered structures of the magical world of “Metamorphosis”
  • A story inspired by Kafka’s themes - lose yourself in the administrative labyrinths of your fellow insects and experience the hopeless defence of humans facing the law.

TLDR: the game is great, it's short, and the achievements are fun to get.

Metamorphosis is a first-person, 3D, puzzle-platformer, where you play as a bug that can scale vertical walls using two 'elements', with various characters you meet along the way, and a fun story that... I'm not entirely sure what the heck I played. Achievement Hunters: about 5-6 hours to 100%, with only one achievement being a collectible achievement (effigies). Don't worry about the achievements until after beating it, so you'll have a fresh run without being spoiled, as there is a chapter-select and the achievements are quite easy to get. The collectible achievement may need a guide once you finish the game, unless you are the type to check every crevice without help; you don't have to beat the mission after hitting the effigies you missed, for it is retroactive, just quit out and move to the next mission. The game is quite good, other than a few bugs (yay, bug pun), as the title screen would be zoomed in, though fighting with the options, and changing graphics, make sure you set it to window mode (not full screen window), as it seems to keep the scaling when you quit the game. Had some heavy FPS issues too for some reason, but tinkering away and resetting the game seemed to fix it until I finished it. If you think this game is for you, there will be a sequel apparently, so you have that to look forward to.

Inspired by Franz Kafka, this great mix between weird fiction and magical realism casts you in the role of a man turned suddenly and inexplicably into a little bug and lets you explore a civilization built by insects but resembling our own. In many aspects Metamorphosis is crude, but the unsettling atmosphere of the strangely bureaucratic insect world, unusual music, solid voice-acting, and dialogues full of legal gibberish that illustrates said bureaucracy make the game unique.
