A Thank-You Message to MazM Supporters Dear ,
Hello? It's Brayle here, once again with a pen in hand. |
|
|
These days, the wind feels much chillier when I wake up in the morning. 🌬️ But even though fall is deepening, the trees around my house are still showing off their green leaves! I love the colorful autumn foliage, but due to climate change, the time to see the autumn colors has been delayed quite a bit. It's really sad... Do you like autumn foliage, ? If you live in a country without deciduous trees, I wish I could show you the mountains in autumn! 🍂
Today, I want to start by sending a thank-you message!

A Thank-You Message to MazM Supporters |
|
|
During the release of Kafka's Metamorphosis, MazM included translations in several languages. Since MazM alone couldn't fully check the quality of all the text, they reached out to MazMians for help, and thanks to their assistance, MazM were able to refine the text in some languages before the game's launch! MazM is deeply grateful to everyone who helped with text proofreading. Each one of you made a significant contribution.
By the way, MazM is also considering proofreading translations for games that have already been released! MazM is committed to providing players worldwide with higher-quality story texts. 😊 Please check the notice at the bottom of the letter for more details!

💥 Official Announcement of MazM’s Next Project: The Black Cat 💥 |
|
|
, do you remember that in the letter from September 2nd, I mentioned that MazM’s next project would be based on Edgar Allan Poe’s horror short story, The Black Cat? After the release of Kafka’s Metamorphosis, MazM officially announced that they are developing a new story based on The Black Cat!
As I mentioned before, the next project will be the horror genre. For those who have read the original work, you may know that The Black Cat is quite a short story. So in this project, The Black Cat will serve as the main story, and MazM will weave in other horror tales by Poe, creating a brand-new story! Look forward to a terrifying and chilling tale that will unfold through The Black Cat! 🎃
The target release date for this next project is within 2024. |

🐞 Kafka's Metamorphosis OST: Grete’s Violin Solo |
|
|
Do you remember the part in the novel The Metamorphosis where Grete plays the violin? In Kafka’s Metamorphosis, there’s a scene where Grete plays the violin, and Gregor listens to her performance. If you haven’t reached this part of the story yet, listen to the performance first! 🎻 |

🗪 How Similar?: Dogs VS Cats |
|
|
Last week, Pyotr and Asya asked whether you prefer dogs or cats! If you’ve played Pechka, , you might already know their answers! Let’s check out what MazMians think, along with Pyotr and Asya’s comments. |
|
|
Oh my, it turns out that an overwhelming number of MazMians prefer cats! 😺 I like both dogs and cats, but I personally lean a bit more towards cats, so I find this result really interesting. You might remember that in Part 3 of Pechka, Pyotr comes to like dogs more, and Asya mentions that cats are also cute! |
|
|
- Cats are just too cute... Their fur is soft, and their paws are so squishy!
- My favorite character, Makoto Kimura, loves cats!
- I feel like cats have some kind of spiritual power!
- I think cats are quiet and elegant.
|
|
|
- Dogs are full of energy and very active!
- My family really loves dogs. I’ve had dogs since I was young!
- Dogs are loyal and always show me love.
- Unfortunately, I’m allergic to cats...
|
|
|
Even though we may have different preferences for animals, I feel like we should all care for the dogs, cats, and other animals around us! I should also feed the stray cats and birds near my house. 🥫 |
|
|
, do you believe in superstitions or jinxes?
Around the world, there’s a superstition that black cats bring bad luck, and people have been working hard to break that stereotype! I’ve heard that movies like Black Panther have helped improve the image of black cats significantly.
In Korea, there’s a superstition that eating seaweed soup before an exam will cause you to fail. But for me, it’s the opposite—I have a jinx where I actually do better on tests after eating seaweed soup! People around me are always surprised when I tell them that. 😂 |

Last Week's Brayle's Question🐬
Do you prefer dogs or cats?
"I absolutely love both dogs and cats! But I’m allergic to dogs. I have a pet cat named Beshbooshi (an Arabic word used to call kittens) and he acts more like a dog than a kitty"
by Lin
🤍🐬🤍 : Cats with dog-like personalities are really fascinating! I wonder if the reverse is true as well. 😯
"I've been afraid of dogs since childhood, so I choose cats. Unfortunately, I can't have one because my mom and brother are allergic to cats, but I often play with my friends' cats."
by Martha
🤍🐬🤍 : At least you’re not allergic to cats! I hope you can raise a cat when you move out one day. 🐱
"because I really love both the dog and the cat, they are very cute♡ "
by muslima
🤍🐬🤍 : Honestly, I think they’re both adorable too. It’s just a matter of preference! ❤️
"well i always love the pets and my family have dogs,im from méxico so i have chihuahuas when a i was a kid, actually i have pugs"
by Génesis
🤍🐬🤍 : Wow, you’ve raised Mexico’s national dog! There are many people in Korea who have Chihuahuas too. 😉
"Cat's reflect my personality well. I'm pretty aloof and self sustaining, and don't need anyone. "
by Crimson Hyde
🤍🐬🤍 : You definitely have the classic cat personality! You’re the opposite of a ‘dog-like’ cat. 😼
💌Message from MazMian!💌
I’m reading all the letters from MazMians!
I’ll pick a few of them, introduce them here, and leave a comment!
"I really love MazM works (recently I even played yellow bricks) but Kafka is hmm, I miss the interaction aspect of the games. The soundtrack is so astounding though ? Loved the immersiveness element it gives to the games."
by Zero 衆羅
🤍🐬🤍 : 저I totally agree, the lack of interaction was a bit of a letdown... But each release brings something new, so I think it’s worth looking forward to what’s next! 😀
"Hey everyone, I'm a new MazMian! I'm too excited as I just join you and want to play more games of MazM but unfortunately I don't have enough time for that :( "
by Corias
🤍🐬🤍 : Welcome to the MazM world! Oh no, I hope you find some free time soon! ⏳
"Hi fellow MazMians!! Hope everyone is having a good time. I'd like to play other MazM games but I haven't the time between schoolwork, college application stuff, and other procrastination haha. Wish me luck in the college field!"
by Bookworm
🤍🐬🤍 : MazMians and I are wishing you the best for a bright future! 🤞
""Hi MazMians, Andy is here again with some bad news....i might give my dog back cause some problems showed up and I'm terribly sad cause I don't wanna give up on my baby boy. It's my father's fault for giving him up because he said he lost his sleep when he's all the time sleepy and tired so I don't really see his point. Wish me luck with this.....Byeee"
by Adria
🤍🐬🤍 : Thank you for sharing your sad news. I hope peace finds both you and your dog... 😭
