Oynadiktan sonra okuyasim geldi okicam bir gun 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Masterpiece *2025-02-16, version 1.0.4* I’m just gonna say two words: Mobile masterpiece. Other than that, this game is a whole genre on its own. I admire Franz Kafka and this game is one of a kind. I just love and thank the devs and respect the supporters who made this game possible. ### 5/5 — IM OBSESSED *2025-02-08, version 1.0.4* This game is so good, I’m in love with every character, please can you make more chapters? ### 5/5 — What a great game *2025-02-01, version 1.0.4* Reading Kafka and playing this game is such a “kafkaesque” experience. Thank you for the game. ### 5/5 — We need more games! *2025-01-28, version 1.0.4* You should do more games like this. Games from books is amazing! ### 5/5 — A wonderful game!!! *2025-01-06, version 1.0.4* I got a trouble with dragging the things but in total the game is actually good and need to be known more! I want more people knowing about Franz Kafka, a great writer which I really adore. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2024-12-30, version 1.0.4* I was expecting a lot less from the game, but I was surprised by how well it turned out to be. The story was pretty accurate and the gameplay was very different than most other games. Also the ending was very memorable, with the opening theme. I think I will be going back to this game again. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Não há tradução para português *2024-12-06, version 1.0.4* Existem VÁRIAS traduções, mas nenhuma é para o português. Lamentável. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-09-17* Incredibly boring and stupid game. But i guess it is because of kafka ### 1/5 — It looks cool, but I can do nothing. *2024-06-19* I clicked in the first chapter, and there’s a person constantly falling. I wait for it, and nothing happened. I can do nothing instead of watching at it. What the heck? **Developer response:** Hi, we are sorry you are experiencing trouble with our game. You should just be able to tap anywhere and the game should continue. You can try changing the language in the main menu in settings. Contact us at info@charlesgames.net if you need further support. ### 1/5 — 无中文 *2024-06-16* 详情显示支持中文，但下载好切换语言的时候只有其他语言没有中文，浪费时间。 **Developer response:** Hello, we are sorry that you had trouble with Playing Kafka - we showed the Chinese support by mistake while we started working on it. It will be released soon and we are working hard on translating the game to Chinese! ### 2/5 — Gut aber… *2026-02-09, version 1.0.4* … Spielstand wird nicht gespeichert! Das Spiel ist an sich gut, aber jedes mal nachdem man die App schließt, muss man vom Anfang anfangen. Das geht gar nicht! ### 2/5 — 根本没有中文 *2024-06-17* 如题 ### 3/5 — Really, really dark *2025-05-29* Edit: forget my ramblings. Make Metamorphosis real. Original: In one of the few routes you get st4bbed. It felt random as before that I was supposed to attend my trial. In the Castle story, they’re pretty explicit in telling you that you had an affair. Yes I know Kafka’s work is supposed to be mature but because this game was rated 9+ I didn’t expect the mvrders to be described so vividly, perhaps 17+ would be better. I do like the aesthetics of the game, and I generally enjoy broody and dark atmospheres. Although, when you move the maid around in the first act, I felt uncomfortable because specific parts kept jiggling. In the end, I still think it’s a gem because of the puzzles and atmosphere. Cover art was pretty awesome. I love the voice acting as it feels professional. ### 3/5 — Pt-br *2025-04-14, version 1.0.4* Jogo bom falta a tradução plss ### 3/5 — Really, really dark *2024-11-17* In one of the few routes you get st4bbed.

Die Atmosphäre und Musik vermitteln ein besonderes Gefühl, es ist leider zu kurz… Ich ermutige euch liebe Hersteller, in diesem Sinne weiterzumachen. Ich kann es kaum erwarten, euer neues Spiel zu spielen. (Es hilft mir unter anderem beim Deutschlernen). Ich brauche mehr!!! Ihr sollt derselbe mit Werken von Dostoevsky machen! ### 5/5 — Отличная *2026-03-14, version 1.0.4* Очень тонко передает атмосферу произведений Франца Кафки! Браво всем, кто работал над проектом! Спасибо! ### 5/5 — Recenze *2026-01-19, version 1.0.4* Tahle hra mě absolutně uchvátila a od začátku do konce mi přišla geniální. Všechny aspekty hry jsou naaranžované přesně tak jak mají aby se hráč mohl vcítit do Kafkových děl. Hru určitě doporučuji studentům i všem kteří mají zájem o hlubší pochopení Kafky. ### 5/5 — I’m not a big fan of story games but this was so good! *2026-01-10, version 1.0.4* when I first saw this and downloaded this I had a little low expectations but they were blown away instantly. these different stages and options for different endings are insane and I truly wasn’t expecting to enjoy this so much!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing game ! *2025-12-15* I highly recommand Kafka readers to try it ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-11-08, version 1.0.4* “Playing Kafka” is an excellent short game that doesn’t take much energy and is quite a good choices game! I had a lot of fun playing big thanks to the developers!!!! ( the voice acting was also excellently done!!!!!) ### 5/5 — Skvělá hra! *2025-10-22, version 1.0.4* Nápadem, ztvárněním, tajuplnou atmosférou.. ### 5/5 — 👍 *2025-10-02, version 1.0.4* Çok beğendim hoş bir oyundu. Kısa sürüyor. ### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel *2025-09-30, version 1.0.4* Hatte Franz Kafkas Roman in der Abitur gehabt und fand ihn seit dem wirklich toll, obwohl die Sprache schon schwierig ist und der still für mich ein bisschen depressiv ist. Dieses Spiel hat meine Interesse an dem Buch Das Schloss wieder erweckt und gehe jetzt die andere Hälfte zu Ende lesen… wirklich eine sehr gute Idee, mehr Interpretation am Ende wäre toll --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
