This looks utterly fantastic. Of course, the late, great H.P. Lovecraft has been more easily assimilated as a minor pop-culture darling due to his celestially horrific characters (Cthulu being the canonized icon of choice, & rightly so). Lovecraft is the 'modern', more cosmic Poe, his rising stature is welcome and warranted. And while not overtly similar, Franz Kafka is still THE giant of psychological (and physiological) horror. A true genius. His work is revered; recognized and loved by many, yet marginalized due to his more dense and less mainstream subject matter and storytelling. I am utterly thrilled that this game is being realized, and by the makers of the awesome Hamlet, no less! Serious kudos to the obviously inspired dev team. That artwork is gorgeous. Support is assured, as long as there is an iPhone version; any chance of this happening? Any word on a release date? Thanks so much for posting about this... Franz Kafka: The Game is like a (nightmare-ish) dream come true!
