The soundtrack for this game is also one of my all-time favourites. You see everything - from the insects infesting the apartment, the remains of your landlord's dinner (complete with a dead cockroach stuck in it) and the contents of the garbage can. Everything in Bad Mojo is crafted with care and love, with an entire house and bar designed with acute attention to detail. I can't imagine thinking that the people designing this thought it would rake in the cash. Samms now has to navigate his disturbingly disgusting apartment in uncomfortably close detail, all while discovering the secrets connecting you and your landlord Eddie.Īnything with this odd a premise is intriguing in that it's most likely a passion project. Of course, I can only speak for my own experiences, but I still try to push this thing out of my head most of the time.īad Mojo is a 1996 adventure game in which the protagonist, a struggling entomologist planning to flee from his debts, is transformed into a cockroach before he can enact his plans. Coming from someone largely unaffected by things with this label, this game made me feel anxious for a long time. I have to say now that if you struggle with issues with mental health such as anxiety and depression, it may be worth being wary of this game as the content is genuinely very upsetting. So why would I ever recommend it?īecause plain and simple, this game is the most painfully real piece of art I've ever experienced. I have actively told friends to steer clear of it. To this date, it remains the only game I've ever hidden from my Steam library.

In some ways, I wish I never discovered it.

I've been thinking about this game since the day I discovered it about four months ago, but I'm still not sure if that's a positive or a negative thing. I don't think I'll ever be able to escape Bad Mojo.
