About the Story

Larp & Monty's Metamorphies is a little text-base adventure about two door guards who find themselves in a bit of a pickle.

I happened to be reading Kafka's Metamorphosis when inkJam 2023's theme of 'In the blink of an eye' was revealed. So, here's what's come about.

Hope you enjoy it!

A delightful approach to Kafka's Metamorphosis, November 4, 2023

If you've read Kafka The Metamorphosis, you should have an idea of the ride you're about to embark. But rather than taking a bleak modern route, the author took a completely absurd fantasy one.

You are Monty, of Larp and Monty, a guard guarding a Tower-of-Sauron-like tower, but something went wrong. And then, Larp becomes weird. And then, it's your turn. And now, what?

Well, this becomes a bit of running around to get to safety then deciding that to do and where to go because of "the metamorphoses". Do you go back to where you came from, hoping things will get back to normal, or accept this new state? Very kafka-esque.

Even if the medium it was based on is relatively dark, the game is much lighter, pushing the humorous aspect in the banter between the two characters or the descriptions and narration. It is a delight.

Small note: after some choices, the page will refresh to add the new text, but scroll all the way down the page rather than staying at the top. As most bit are sizeable, you will have to scroll back up quite often
