For literary buffs, the development of the ‘Franz Kafka Videogame’ may seem too good to be true. This isn’t the first time Indie game developer Denis Galanin has turned a literary classic into a video game — you may be familiar with Hamlet, which is available for PC, iPad, iPhone and Android and was named one of the ‘Best of Games of 2012’ by Google Play, among a few other impressive awards.
Kafka’s surreal and absurdist novels are the perfect base for a video game world. The Franz Kafka Videogame will be an adaptation of Kafka’s ‘The Castle’ in an adventure-style game with logic puzzles.
The Franz Kafka Videogame is set for release next year on PC, Mac and mobile devices.
