positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Journey of a Roach is a quirky adventure that transforms one of the least glamorous creatures imaginable into the hero of an unexpectedly charming post-apocalyptic story. Developed by Koboldgames and Daedalic Entertainment and published by Daedalic Entertainment, it follows two cockroach friends, Jim and Bud, living in an underground bomb shelter after nuclear devastation has left the surface world seemingly uninhabitable. Instead of treating this setting as a bleak survival tale, the game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Journey of a Roach is a fun and short point and click game where you play as a roach trying to rescue your friend. The puzzles are relatively easy and shouldn't take long to solve. I really love the whole relaxing and easygoing feel of this game. Such a cute game to fill up my night. Daedalic Entertainment always does their point and click games with perfection. Absolute joy to play, recommended!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great little game. Very funny story told in wacky cartoon animated style. And even though this game has no words in it, it's not a silent game because the characters are actually voiced and a job well done on that too! Makes no sense? Well you have to play it to enjoy it i guess! :3 P/S: If you like Wall-E you will definitely love the ending of this game.

unlabelledView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Navigating post-apocalyptic walls as a bug sounds like a super cool puzzle-platforming concept on paper. Unfortunately, the clunky controls and repetitive mechanics drag the experience down to a very average playthrough. It's got charm, but it's hard to fully recommend unless you're a die-hard indie fan.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Journey of the Roach is a great point & click game. Developed by Daedalic when they made quality games versus the junk like Gollum.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kinda childish and gay cockroaches, but its a memorize and speedrun puzzle game with decent to complete achievs and cards. Grab it on sale

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.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The scorched lands, after a nuclear war, keep terrible scars. All living things on the surface died, humanity sunk into oblivion, and only a handful of insects slowly evolved in the flakes of nuclear Winter. Our heroes are cockroaches who wanted to bask in the sun and see the miracle of new life - the first flower that sprouts in dangerous lands... Pros: + Achievements + Funny plot + Interesting puzzles + Crawl anywhere! + Humor + Suitable for all ages + Gamepad support + Localization into…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably the only roach i wont mind. Ever. Journey of a roach is a cute little point n click puzzle game. It's kinda wholesome and made me chuckled a few times. The cons are it is bad for someone that has bad sense of direction / orientation like me. All the turning around made me get motion sickness too, but I'm pretty sure most people won't have this issue. Still hate roaches IRL tho.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →tiny cute sweet game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short and charming point-and-click adventure, puzzle game. Some of the puzzle solutions and logic behind a few actions are nonsensical. Some locations require the try and error method. But, you will laugh a bit after solving them. The music and sound effects are also good. Traversing through the world may become a head-spinner for some since the playable character has to walk along the walls and ceilings, and the camera also rotates accordingly. Achievements for this game are challenging.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Journey of a Roach is a quirky, comic-book-style point-and-click adventure set in a post-apocalyptic world that has been taken over by mutated insects. You control Jim, an oddly endearing cockroach, alongside his goofy friend Bud, as they navigate the ruined, overgrown remains of a underground nuclear bunker to find their way to the surface. The game's standout feature is its clever movement mechanic: being a cockroach, Jim can walk on walls and ceilings seamlessly. This 360-degree mobility…

unlabelledView post →I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scared of cockroaches? never ! ... Very fun, I recommend 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite the cast of creepy critters, Journey of a Roach is a cute and funny point-and-click game. I especially like how well it uses non-verbal/non-textual communication and how seamless the transitions between the 2D cutscenes and the 3D gameplay are. The difficulty is average, I got a bit stuck on some puzzles, but I never felt lost. If cockroaches in real life were this charismatic, they could rule the world.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is awesome. i love this story and character talking sound is LoL. GG

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game changed how i see life. Before this I was an empty husk filled with void and anger. I was lonely on a saturday evening when i bought this game and now I have seen God (PBUH). The game features two roaches, Jim and Bud.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The art is gorgeous. The story is comical. Just a cute game overall
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A speedrun achievement in a game with bad controls and buggy surroundings. Nice decision!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You are a tiny roach in a big, gross, hilarious world. What's more satisfying than this!. i love it!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the roach wall-walking mechanic; it's freaky the first time you see a light-bulb thrusting up in the air and realize you're upside down. The game is very cute, but it isn't really a game, because the puzzles are either obvious, or else "pick up everything and smash everything into everything else until stuff happens". What to do with the food-can lid is especially non-obvious because you're supposed to recognize that it fits in a spot which is on a different scale than the picture of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly good and long game for being so cheap. I would recommend playing it. However, some of the puzzles are pretty difficult to get though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You can pass your time but nothing special.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Journey of a Roach is an absolute delight from start to finish! This adventure puzzle PC game offers a unique and captivating experience that will keep you hooked from the moment you start playing. First off, let's talk about the visuals. The art style is charming and whimsical, perfectly capturing the post-apocalyptic world inhabited by our roach protagonist. Every environment is beautifully crafted, from the webbed corners of the nursery to the bright lights of the bar. It's a joy to explore…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →sad that I can't choose a neutral review. The graphics, artstyle and animations are great, the whole idea is amazing, I mean there aren't a lot of games out there where you can play as a bug or precisely a roach. Love it. BUT on the other hand, the controls don't feel so good, the whole moving around can cause motion sickness and the puzzles are way to difficult and unlogical. There's one part, where you have to move really carefully which took a lot of tries to complete, maybe it's a bit…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lots of fun with these entertaining roaches. Requires a minimum of 2 playthroughs to get all 18 achievements. >> PLAY IN NOVEMBER TO GET THE BIRTHDAY CAKES << Manual Saves/Load option is very useful to re-do areas for certain achievements. There is an achievement for doing a game speed run under 18mins. Excellent game with a good variety of (mostly) logical do-able puzzles. The graphics and characters are well done. For the first time in my life I've now seen cute roaches lol. Love the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →yayyyyaaauyyyyyy
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Journey of a Roach is a wonderfully disorienting little adventure, part platformer, part fever dream, and all cockroach. The upside-down perspective takes some getting used to, but stumbling around the world is half the fun. It’s short, quaint, and genuinely enjoyable, with plenty of goofy humour and slapstick moments. The roaches have more personality than they have legs, and watching them repeatedly bonk, tumble, and scuttle into trouble never gets old.
