A world devastated by nuclear war. A wasteland contaminated by radiation. And radroaches. ...Fallout. :P15 found this helpful
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.11 found this helpful
A speedrun achievement in a game with bad controls and buggy surroundings. Nice decision!
