  1. I really like this. Do be sure to play it twice…

  2. the world needs more games based on kafka

  3. Knowing the story completely spoiled it for me. And I really want more lit-based games, but with a straightforward translation it seems lacking and taking too many liberties makes it into something else? Not sure what should it look like.

  4. I remember seeing this last year at some point and loved it then as well.

    A beautiful example of how a short simple idea can become something really special with the right execution.

    More generally Kafka should be a rich seam for game ideas: I like the idea of an ironic take on The Trial which also parodies the ‘why the fuck did I die?’ moments that you get with bad or poorly communicated game design.
