Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play Kafka's Metamorphosis, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Google Play, App Store. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

No source reports a live count for this game, so this is a share of the total player base — a genre assumption rather than an observation, which is why the range is wide.

Storyline

The game is inspired by the literary world and life of Franz Kafka, as well as his various works. Among them, The Metamorphosis and The Judgment are the most representative, both closely related to Kafka’s lifelong difficulties with his father. The Metamorphosis, in particular, resonates with people worldwide as it depicts the struggles of an eldest son who transforms into a vermin. In Kafka's Metamorphosis, the novella serves as the central motif, focusing on Kafka and Gregor Samsa’s familial issues. The key difference is that Kafka's story emphasizes the conflict between his identity as a writer and his father's expectations.

Frequently asked questions

How many people play Kafka's Metamorphosis?

We estimate that about 9,500 people have played Kafka's Metamorphosis — plausibly between 420 and 60K. Around 470 of them play on a given day, in a range of 4 and 9K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play and App Store rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is Kafka's Metamorphosis still active?

Yes. Kafka's Metamorphosis is holding steady — it measured within a percent of where it was a week ago. We recheck every source daily, and the charts on this page show each platform's readings over time.

How are the Kafka's Metamorphosis player estimates worked out?

Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them. Each public count we can read is converted into a population using a documented ratio — roughly one Google Play rating per 45 people who played, one Steam review per 35 owners, one Discord member per 40 players — and the live counts (Steam concurrents, members online, Twitch viewers) are converted the same way into a daily figure. Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out. This page is built on 2 readings taken since August 8, 2026.
