Metamorphosis VR is a narrative adventure platformer inspired by Franz Kafka’s novel, and it’s out next month on Quest.
Developed by Black Sun Productions, Metamorphosis originally released four years ago as a flatscreen game from Ovid Works and Untold Tales. You play Gregor, a travelling salesman who has been turned into a cockroach in the 1900s Vienna. You must use his newly acquired abilities to save Gregor’s closest friend, while also finding a solution for him to recover his humanity. Here’s the announcement trailer.
While Metamorphosis VR takes inspiration from Kafka’s 1915 novella The Metamorphosis, the upcoming game differs considerably in its narrative. This adventure takes place between walls and floors and features bug philosophers and insect mob leaders, as well as over 100 insects characters. The final chapter has multiple endings, depending on the choices you make. Corbin Chase is CEO at Black Sun Productions. “Metamorphosis
uniquely combines confusion, bewilderment, wonder and beauty. All imparted by that shift in perspective, it feels like this game was always meant for VR.”Metamorphosis VR will reach the
