Oct. 2024

Journey of a Roach offers a quirky point-and-click adventure from the perspective of a roach named Jim in a post-apocalyptic world. Instead of a grim tale, it delivers a heartwarming, humorous story with a unique 2.5D mechanic, allowing you to crawl on walls and ceilings to solve puzzles. Despite no spoken dialogue, the characters are full of personality. The puzzles are easy but fun, utilizing Jim’s abilities in creative ways. The story, while light-hearted, has a touching core. The main downside is the short length, with the campaign completed in just a few hours. While achievement hunters may find replayability, some players might want more content. Overall, it’s a delightful and cozy adventure, but it ends a bit too soon.

I didn't expect that cockroaches were so cute in this game. It's really cute and fun game, not hard but not easy on mind and what's positive about this one It's one of Daedalic's Point & Click Adventures that doesn't bother you with long ass dialogue. It also has really nice 2D graphics and level design, great mechanic of using your insect abilities and funny sounds and moments. The fish is one of the best characters in this game cause It says "Bloop". Go and play it, It's really good.

Nice fun little story, not to hard but hard but enough to make you think "what now?". Would love to see a followup sequel someday.

Short but sweet! I finished this in about 4 hours. I would definitely recommend it to any point & click enthusiast. The story is simple but funny. The design and graphics are pleasing and colorful. The sound design is quite funny and adorable. The riddles aren't too hard so that you shouldn't get stuck too often. All in all this was a short but very entertaining playthrough! Daedalus delivers another great P&C game.
