Playing Kafka

What choices would you make if you were Josef K.? As part of the poster exhibition KOMPLETT KAFKA, you have the opportunity to immerse yourself virtually in the mysterious world of Kafka's novels. The video game Playing Kafka lets the players embark on a Kafkaesque journey. Each choice affects the course of the game and the story. Playing Kafka encourages players to actively engage in the narrative and opens space for individual reflection on Kafka's work in the context of today's world.
