Journey of a Roach is a charming adventure with an original premise. I hesitate to call it point-and-click adventure because even though there's an inventory and clicking on points of interest, the movement is only with keyboard (or gamepad) and a few puzzles rely on that. We've seen post apocalyptic done several times before, but not from the point of view of the cockroaches. Despite the bleak setting, it had good humor conveyed in part by dialogues with drawings instead of words. It had a mix of slightly animated 2d cutscenes and 3d-rendered environments and characters for exploration. The puzzles were very clever with the original mechanic of being able to climb on most walls, changing perspective. But there was an exception which I found really unfair and that lowered my overall appreciation. In any case, I used three hints overall and it took me around four hours and a half although the average on How Long to Beat seems to be three hours and a half.

A fun and unusual quest about cockroaches in a post-apocalyptic world. The atmosphere is light and humorous, and the mechanics of crawling on walls and ceilings make the puzzles really interesting.

I didn’t expect much when I launched it, but it instantly pulled me in with its quirky atmosphere and charming sense of humor 😄. The world feels small yet cozy, and the way characters communicate through little comic-style bubbles is surprisingly expressive. Crawling along walls and ceilings was such a fun twist — at first it even confused me, but then it became one of my favorite parts. The whole adventure is pretty short, but it never felt like it dragged. The puzzles are simple enough to keep you moving yet clever enough to make you smile when you solve them. Some controls felt a bit clunky here and there, but nothing game-breaking. In the end, it left me with that warm, pleasant feeling you get after finishing something genuinely heartfelt 😊✨.
