The first title from virtual reality studio Black Sun Productions, Metamorphosis VR, comes out on October 10, 2024.

The game takes its narrative from Franz Kafka's novella The Metamorphosis and will be available for Meta Quest 2 and 3.

It is quite a unique VR game and very immersive because it is an experience in stepping into the world of Kafka's renowned novella.

It's a bold reimagining of the 2020 PC game Metamorphosis, originally developed by Ovid Works and Untold Tales.

The game takes place in early 1900s Vienna. Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman, has a rather shocking transformation into a cockroach.

A night out turns into a strange journey through finding the mode of returning to his human form as Gregor wakes up to discover his metamorphosis and save his closest friend.

We chose Metamorphosis as our first title for Black Sun because its surreal, Kafkaesque world – some of the richest and most immersive environments imagined – offers a perfect opportunity to bring this extraordinary experience to virtual reality," said Corbin Chase, CEO of Black Sun Productions, in a statement, according to VentureBeat.

One of the more impressive capabilities of VR is how it transforms our view and sense of proportion, and Metamorphosis uniquely combines bewilderment, confusion, wonder, and beauty in all imparted by the shift in perspective. Feels like this game has been waiting for VR like all along.\"

One other bright spot of the game was its unique shift of perspective, which allowed experiencing the new reality of the world through Gregor from a bug's perspective.

The player gets transported across walls, floorboards, and tight spaces to a bizarre world inhabited by bug philosophers, insect crime bosses, and creepy thespians.

More than 100 insect characters will be featured, each with his unique voice, to intensify the play experience.

Fans of Kafka's original novella and virtual reality enthusiasts keen on exploring its surreal world await the game on October 10 for Meta Quest 2 and 3.
