    Journey of a Roach is an adventure game that is in my opinion aimed for the more casual players. The game itself is not too long and most puzzles are not very hard, but it is great as light entertainment and a fresh breeze for those who are tired of the conventional scraping for survival post apocalyptic games.

    The game-play is fairly creative being able (and having to) climb up on walls and ceilings to reach certain objects adds a bit of extra flavor to the conventional rub item A to item B mechanics. I am not sure it worth the full price, my price would be no more than 6£ about half of the original. But since I picked it up on a sale I can't complain.    … Expand

    Got this as part of a humble bundle pleasantly surprised...
    The key mechanic is the ability to walk 360 around rooms (on walls ceilings) but it's actually a cute little adventure game too!
    And the puzzles make sense (not too random) well worth checking out if on sale!

    Feels like the 3d rendered version of machinarium, which is the superior game. It does try to add something new to the genre, through the perspective changing movement, so it deserves some recognition for that. Works only because it is a short experiment.

    Too many basic lessons on how to treat players go unlearnt. Even over its short duration, initially colourful scenarios become sadly static and tired. Journey of a Roach has some promising ideas, but unfortunately struggles to demonstrate them at their best.

    A fresh look at the genre that also doesn’t lose sight of the key basics that make a great adventure game. [Issue#238]

    Journey of a Roach has a couple of fresh ideas in its sleeve, but the visuals are too amateurish, and the puzzles are dull.
