Players will run across several different types of bugs in 'Metamorphosis VR'. — Black Sun Productions/TNS
Video games aren’t exactly synonymous with classic literature. Players will find references to works like Romeo and Juliet, but developers don’t often tackle novels like As I Lay Dying or Don Coyote. The two biggest ones in recent memory have been Dante’s Inferno, a God of War-like project from Electronic Arts and Spec Ops: The Line, a brilliant game loosely based on a Joseph Conrad novel.
Those efforts were good and showed classic literature has more ideas to mine. One of those is Franz Kafka’s novella The Metamorphosis. Ovid Works crafted an adventure platformer inspired by the short work in 2020, and now, Black Sun Productions is bringing that game to Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3.
