YUCK!

Bad Mojo Redux, a revamped edition of the classic surreal adventure, that lets you explore the world from the perspective of a cockroach, is now available on GOG.com 50% off! That's only $2.99 for the next 24 hours!

Bad Mojo Redux is a delirious nightmare of which both Franz Kafka and David Cronenberg would be proud of. As Roger Samms, until recently the invisible man that you pass in the street without noticing, you catch a really bad break. A mystical artifact turns you into a cockroach and just like that, the mundane challenges of everyday life are gone. Now you have to fight for your life against deadly spiders and murderous cats, negotiating the sticky surfaces of a dilapidated San Francisco diner. The game comes optimized for modern systems complete with an impressive list of bonus content including the full MP3/FLAC soundtrack, developer commentaries, original artworks, and "making of" videos.

Shed your insectophobia and look at the world from a whole new perspective in Bad Mojo Redux for only $2.99! The offer lasts until 9:59AM GMT on Tuesday, September 16.

One_of_Many: Can someone confirm if the game can be completed in one day? howlongtobeat.com reports a length of 4 hours, but this value is based on a single poll.
It's a bit like most adventure games, if you play it knowing what to do already or with a walkthrough, then 4 hours is probably not far wrong. It's a long time ago, but i seem to remember the original took me about 3 or 4 evenings of play- so about 8 hours, depending on how fast you work out the puzzles.

cal74: Man, 40 games backlog... If I combine GOG and Humble, I'm close to 250 (249... I finished Under a Killing Moon this week-end) which should make me think twice before buying other games but my wishlist is not yet empty so... =)
I think my backlog is closer to 50 games actually but yeah, doesn't compare to your 250 ;)

Playing Bad Mojo now. Man this is one of the weirdest games I have ever played. If you really like messed up stuff, definately give this game a look. I got no regrets buying this game :D

Thank you! I don't have too much time at the moment, but it seems a reasonable length for an adventure, so I'll buy it and, hopefully, finish it within the week. :)

funny, I found the retail copy of this game in a store of used things and was quite curious about it. It was also 3 bucks so I wondwer if I should by that instead of this. hmmm the box was quite nice but this is the redux version so....

Truly unique game, worth it for those who want an original adventure game experience.

I know that feeling. Combining Humble and gog puts me up to just over 400. Add Steam onto that and it just gets ridiculous.

I'm going to have to make an effort to play more of these games.

1000+ backlog, but still seriously considering buying this.

I have a 2250ish backlog but I don't think of it as a backlog anymore, but money I wasted on games I will never play.

If you pick this up, it won't be in your back log for long. I picked up the game when the promo started as as of this posting, the promo has 18 hours left. I finished this game in about 5.5 hours however I did have to check a walkthrough for one of the last puzzles. Seriously, I would never have figured it out.

What the..............!?! How did you...........!?!?! Just...............HUH!?!?!?!?!? Seriously, how did you manage to create a backlog like THAT?!?!

Well, for anyone worried about there backlogs, don't worry about this game. It's short and can be finished in an evening. Unfortunately, this game doesn't have a lot of reply value but I guess that's common for adventure games. However, if you are interested in weird and original games, this game is definately worth a look.

Lose an "of", please.

This reminds me... when are we going to see another TB video from a GOG game??
Posted September 15, 2014
Aww right! An ideal timing for me to add this to my library (payday + sale on long time wished-game = deal!).

But ..... but ...... but........ redundacy, repeating yourself and saying the same thing mostly usually usually always not only makes you smart and knowledgable, but intelligent too.

You definately should defiantely try it sometime at a time in the future :)
