Hello,
Is there suppose to be sound in the game? Because i thought there would be but there isn't and the game volume itself is all the way up.

I’m currently in my first year of high school and have been getting into more classic literature. Lately, I found out about Franz Kafka and I really love his short but meaningful short stories. I was reading a brief article about this app and rushed to download it!! Safe to say the design of the game is intricate but easy on the eyes with its simplicity, the narration has good audio quality and tone and the gameplay itself is a good mix of sticking to the original material and being unique (you usually do a few riddles or move stuff around, interact with characters and make decisions that impact the rest of the story). Overall, it’s great app that I would recommend downloading and great job to the developers! :-)

I have read bits of Kafka’s works before, that’s why I was intrigued by this video game. As expected, I was not disappointed at all. I just think that it would be much more impactful if you’re already aware of the plot of the three stories (the trial, letters to my father, and the castle) bcs if you’re not, you’re going to be a bit lost in the game. Even if you didn’t read those yet, this game does an amazing job making you to WANT to read those after.
I like the narrative voices, interactive options, as the animations. A solid 5 stars game would definitely come back to play this again after a while and check out other games by the developers.
About Playing Kafka
Although you did nothing wrong, you were arrested one morning. You arrived for work, but you don’t recognize your assistants. And your upbringing left you with a pervasive sense of guilt. Welcome to Playing Kafka, an adventure about the alienation of modern society as well as unresolved family issues. The game adapts three works of the famously absurdist writer and was created with leading Kafka experts.
Can you manage to win an unfair trial? Is the job even real? Can you escape your father’s crushing presence? How do you move forward, when all solutions are obfuscated by a web of unclear rules and machinations…
The game features:
• a fully voiced branching story, based on Kafka’s The Trial, The Castle and Letter To His Father
• atmospheric puzzles, fateful decisions and a drag and drop gameplay that makes characters and environments come alive
• approximately 1.5 hour of story in an ever-changing setting
Three books, three game chapters:
The Trial
You face an opaque legal trial and are slowly sucked into a web of perplexing bureaucracy. It is up to you how to approach the vague, but insidious accusation – choose who to ask for help and how to talk to judges, procurators, and others as the judgment is slowly closing in on you. Does it even matter if you’re innocent?
Letter to His Father
Drawing inspiration from Kafka's unsent confession to his father, this chapter delves into their tense relationship. Try to find the right words that helped Kafka come to terms with his upbringing. See Franz struggle to connect with his father in scenes from the past. Is there any hope of reconciliation?
The Castle
You arrive at a snow-laden village to work as a land surveyor, but you quickly find that nothing is as it seems – locals talk about the village Castle in hushed tones and each day brings more questions than answers. Will you ever be accepted by the forever out-of-reach Castle?
The game was developed to commemorate the centenary of Kafka’s death and was developed in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut, Prague.
The Chinese language version was initiated and supported by the Czech Centre Taipei.
