Bad Mojo Redux

TW: It has blood, animal death (roaches and rats), smoking, drinking, a puzzle is drugging a guy, and depictions of a former restaurant that is overrun with cockroaches for good reason. Nasty The game was surprisingly good! Very cheesy. It has cutscenes that were FMVs obviously recorded by the devs and whoever they could rope into doing a few scenes. It's the kind of hammy, bad acting that's super fun. Very charming But the environments are lovingly crafted. It's really gross, as you might expect from a game where you're a cockroach The gameplay is navigating the environment, figuring out where to go & how to get there, and some mild puzzle-solving elements. The game runs acceptably on modern computers (was playing the Steam version). Some fmvs didn't play correctly and the resolution was a bit wonky, but all was well. It doesn't have puzzles that are *impossible* to solve unless you have the manual. But it's the kind of game where you can just feel free to look up anything if you get stuck. It can be completed in a sitting or two. I had a good time with it.

A hidden gem with amazing yet grimy atmosphere and music. Get ready for janky controls and saving a lot though. 89 cents well spent.

This review will be split in three parts: 1. [b]Redux portion of the game[/b]. Game does not have resolution selection and does not scale on 4K monitors. Menu still has weird navigation. Saving/loading game can soft lock you out of bounds. Clunky movement with uncontrolled spinning was not fixed. I was hoping at least for smooth scrolling instead of screen-to-screen transitions, but nope. Lowest effort possible - [b]0/10[/b]. 2. Gameplay. Sigh.... It is one of those games where you have to find some magical, nonsensical incantation to progress. Puzzles are purely stupid. Like for example you have to [spoiler]walk on electrical fuses to set decimal dials on electricity meter to code found 3 rooms away[/spoiler] (dude, if you are still alive I really hope you learned by now how electricity meters work). Or you have to [spoiler] get some baby roach on your back to be heavier despite tons of things laying around you could push to achieve the same result[/spoiler]. Bad even when compared to point-n-click standards of its era. Counterintuitive and annoying - [b]2/10[/b]. 3. Vibe. This game is so unique. Real actors cut scenes are emotional and heavy. Hints from animals are super trip…

Win11 is the real bad mojo

Came here after watching old archives of the Net Cafe show, where the developers were interviewed about the game, and it just looked downright bizarre and unique. Gotta say, it excels at making me go "what the ♥♥♥♥"

This is a Cockroach simulator. I have now discovered I have a phobia of roaches. The roaches on this game are too real and give you the creeps. 10 out of 10 if you love cockroaches, ya filthy animal As for me, excuse me while I nuke my computer and clean out my eyes
