Kurayami: Suda 51 Gets Kafkaesque

While some games are content to pillage and defile classic literature, I’ve got faith that designer Goichi Suda can pull of a game inspired by the writings of Franz Kafka. The Playstation 3-exclusive project, dubbed Kurayami, is Japanese for “darkness,” and will feature a character fending off foes with a torch while exploring a strange, eerily-lit town. No word yet on the link to existentialism, but this is from a guy who’s track record includes a game about an assassination squad comprised of one man’s split personalities and another about an anime fan who becomes an assassin after winning a lightsaber-like sword on the Internet. So while all we’ve got now are some concept shots on no release date in sight, Kurayami’s got my interest piqued. [GameKyo via Destructoid]
