Black Sun Productions is set to launch its highly anticipated virtual reality game, Metamorphosis VR, on October 10, 2024.

The game challenges players to explore this strange new existence, interact with a diverse cast of over 100 insect characters, and uncover multiple endings, all while striving to save Gregor’s friend and reclaim his humanity.
Corbin Chase, CEO of Black Sun Productions, emphasized the game’s ability to leverage VR’s unique capacity to alter perception and scale, creating an immersive experience that blends confusion, wonder, and beauty. The game aims to transport players into a richly detailed world filled with bizarre locations and high-fidelity graphics, enhancing the narrative’s Kafkaesque elements.
Metamorphosis VR is rated E10+ by the ESRB and will be available on Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3 for $19.99. The game promises to deliver a captivating experience that stays true to the philosophical undertones of Kafka’s original work while pushing the boundaries of virtual reality storytelling.
