Description
Nuclear war, post-apocalypse, barren and lifeless wastelands. Lifeless? Not so much! Mutated insects have made their home in a bomb shelter and they're set on exploring the world. Let this point&click adventure welcome you to a hilariously bizarre end-of-times world and join the roaches Jim and Bud on their journey to the surface.

Journey of a Roach tells the story of two roach-buddies, who want nothing but to see the surface world. On their way up, they meet all kinds of bizarre and ludicrous insects inhabiting the post-apocalyptic Earth. In atmospheric 3D point&click adventure style you'll take control of Jim the roach through the bomb shelter, effortlessly crawling your way along walls and ceilings. This innovative and dynamic game mechanic creates opportunities for a wholly new puzzle design. Fondly designed speech balloons offer an unconventional new dialogue experience and the soundtrack delivers and atmospheric, post-apocalyptic mood.
  • Adventure in a unique environment - crawl along walls and ceilings, exploring secret underground
  • Two charming, memorable protagonists with humorous, nonverbal means of communication
  • Atmospheric, post-apocalyptic world with a fantastic music score and beautiful stylish graphics.

Excellent design and clever puzzles but unbelievable short game. 2~3 hours.

Interesting but controls suck

The idea and story are fun and interesting, but unfortunately if you are prone to feel nauseous when playing FPS games, you'll probably feel a bit sick when playing this one too :( I can only play 15 min at a time, max.

Cute game, interesting mechanics

The story's fun, the puzzles are largely satisfying to solve, and the game made pleasurable use of three-dimensional movement. My only real qualm is the price -- at 14.99, I think I'm used to a noticeably longer game than this one. Get it on sale if you can, but if you pay full price, it's going to a team that earned it -- a solid piece of creative work.

Funny, orinigal, solid, not so engaging

Funny and original. Controls are mostly fine, though I kept missing doors and it's not always evident where exactly the roach can go. Puzzles can usually be guessed with a little trying. The story is told through iconography and universal utterings. No language depency, whatsoever. Some cartoon-sequences introduce new settings and events. I finished the game in 2h. My low rating comes from the game being not so engaging to me, just okay.
