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.

Addictive and beautiful

Short but exciting adventure of mutant cockroach buddies in a post apocaliptic but lively world. Simple but good controls, wonderful graphics, nice story. A good little fun.

Promising and original, but...

This is an original and fun title that had lots of potential. The humour was great, the various characters were cute and some of the puzzles were quite clever. Unfortunately, these aren't enough, since: -Some of the puzzles are a bit of the moon logic kind. Also, a few of the puzzles are timed, which is something I dislike. -the controls are awful and the camera made me physically sick, although I never had such problems while gaming. Navigating some parts is unnecessarily complicated. -This problem is made even worse by the diabolical audio (both music and squeaky sfx) which makes the experience feel like a bad fever dream. -The various "arcade" sections really put me off. I thought adventure games had graduated from such things. This is also a short game, but due to feeling sick because of the camera/sound, I count the game's brevity as a positive thing.
