Metamorphosis | Review in 3 Minutes

[@vargsvansify]

I'm kind of disappointed that the game seems to only borrow surface level things from the novella and not use the themes of stuff like isolation and abandonment. I wonder if any of the game designers actually read the work they used as inspiration?

[@AstralMarmot]

I had the same thought. Imagine the worldbuilding potential of a Kafka-esque bug society. Then imagine wasting it by just making their society mimic ours. Damn shame.

[@hjalfi]

@@AstralMarmot I can imagine a procedurally generated version of _The Trial_ which just goes on forever.

[@Mark73]

Yeah, but they also wanted people to buy it. People are already getting enough isolation this year.

[@viljamtheninja]

@@hjalfi I love this idea.

[@viljamtheninja]

@@AstralMarmot The fact that the bug society is just a bug version of human society really goes to show that the creators missed the part about how Gregor Samsa becomes less and less human in his thoughts and behaviour as the story progresses.

[@AstralMarmot]

These reviews are always just the perfect length and exactly the right amount of information and context. I hope The Escapist appreciates how solid your work is bro. Keep em coming.

[@Psychol-Snooper]

You are wrong! Although this may be a perfect review, giving everything you need to know, and easily holding one's attention, it's not nearly too long!!! How will it trigger the KZbin algorithm and allow itself to be padded with ads! Every video must be 10:01 long minimum because your time is valueless, and if you are not wasting your time and thinking about the next video you want to watch then KZbin

[@AstralMarmot]

@@Psychol-Snooper I was unaware that my inner monologue had its own account.

[@Psychol-Snooper]

@@AstralMarmot Wait! Do you look at video run time before the description too? MARRY ME!

[@AstralMarmot]

@@Psychol-Snooper I'd love to, but I"m pretty sure the only state where applesauce and marmots can legally marry is Alabama.

[@Psychol-Snooper]

@@AstralMarmot Hmm... Rodents marrying fruit puree is a slippery slope.

[@aarrondias9950]

Thank goodness this isn't the *other* metamorphosis

[@aarrondias9950]

Cynical Frenchface yes

[@RobotDeathMonkey]

Came here to see if this kind of comment was here, I'm both pleased and saddened to see how many there are

[@MrThewooter]

Stumbled onto that one accidentally. Wish I knew it's rep beforehand @-@

[@xerobeat9142]

I find it kinda funny how my exposure to henshin was through a non-hentai manga site. Still a shit manga tho ùwú

[@ffraky001]

ShindoL is...an interesting artist

[@antzpantz]

Reminds me of "bad mojo" PC game in the 90s which was also based on the Kafka book "Metamorphosis".

[@SARRIMAVEA]

Anyone remember Bad Mojo? That was a an awesome adventure puzzle game.

[@MrDalisclock]

Looks like the spiritual successor. So I imagine if you want another Bad Mojo, this is as good as you're gonna get.

[@mindofmax2067]

This is a perfect way to sum up the game, I played on switch so admittedly not the best console experience but a fun play for the $3 sale price (though I wouldn’t pay more than that for such a short story that honestly ends way faster than it unfolded)

[@TheCreepypro]

as a man who has been obsessed with bugs since he was a kid this is my kind of game

[@mimismountainhome]

"The lonely man Gregor Samsa woke up to find he turned into a massive cockroach. Too good..." Has no one noticed this is a joke in the Producers?!

[@capt.bellamy]

Fun fact that's the inspiration of skullgirls filia move of the same name where Samson turns into a roach and tells metamorphosis, or Gregor Samson.

[@BloodyxRose21x]

I just finished playing it. It was cool being a bug and living that bug life but I expected more. I feel like the game was too short. I need more time in the bug life.

[@Soniclover3593]

Its $1.99 in the eshop RIGHT now. Do you guys think I should buy it?

[@Shashank7170]

That unholy name

[@kushojha6426]

*PTSD induced flashbacks*

[@Sebass1999]

(O_O)

[@gokusondbz]

This Is On Sale 9.99 On PSN Right Now I Mite Pick This Up

[@kary7439]

Oohhh! How do you get that emoji??

[@RobotDeathMonkey]

Great video, glad it's short, I've gotta go ask mum if she can help me with my makeup, hope dad likes it

[@Sagaan42]

The motion blur in this game iss unbearable!

[@mistersurrealist]

BAD MOJO did it better. In fact, the Redux version (available on GOG/Steam) still holds up beautifully, even after 20+ years.

[@eirinil1070]

You should add subtitles

[@abdullaalshamsi8154]

I’ve never thought that book I read and hated will become a game

[@YourCRTube]

So it is absolutely nothing like the novella.

[@AwesomeTingle]

its straight up an adaptation of the kafka novella, cool

[@TweezyKing]

I gpt a 96% off deal on my switch and bought it for like 86 pence 🗿

[@PurelinK7]

Helping a bug leads to having to help another bug… reminds me of one small favour..
