Almost too good to be a game--but as games go, it's one of the pest.--Entertainment Weekly

Bad Mojo Redux, a revamped edition of the classic 1996 horror adventure that will let you experience the world through the eyes of a cockroach, is available in a bonus content-filled package on GOG.com, for only $5.99!

There's over 4,500 species of cockroaches roaming every possible corner of our planet. 40 of them, are the species closely related to human habitats. They live in the cracks of our civilization, feeding on our waste, shunning our light. We try to keep our worlds as separate as possible, revolted by their shining chitin bodies, dietary habits, and the tendency to show up unexpected and uninvited. We do our best to keep them out of our sight and mind, but the truth is, we're only fooling ourselves. They are there, they have always been, and they will be long after we're gone. Now, wouldn't it be fascinating to catch a glimpse of these creatures' perspective of reality?

Bad Mojo Redux lets you do just that! It tells a Kafka-like story of a man turned into a cockroach by a strange and mystical twist of events. Surprisingly the event leaves the protagonist feeling empowered, free, and in control for the first time in his life, as he sets off to experience the world full of paths no human ever trailed before. The game, combining exploration, puzzles, and a psychedelic plot, has been refurbished for modern systems so you can discover all of the 800+ screens re-creating our world's disturbingly icky underbelly. The game comes complete with a ton of bonus video content (including a "making of" documentary and developer commentaries) and artworks.

Overcome your revulsion, leave behind your prejudice towards insects, and discover a whole new perspective with Bad Mojo Redux, yet another Night Dive classic release, for only $5.99 on GOG.com.

toxicTom: You are of course right. But I'm seriously OOM at the moment and spent $12 on Moon Sliver only yesterday. Otherwise this would have been an instabuy. I promise I will buy it at $6 and not wait for a promo.
I completely understand, and again, I wasn't trying to be judgemental of anyone's particular circumstances. I am glad that there are so many people interested in this game that it is at least getting wishlisted. That trumps a thread full of "meh, not for me" posts.

However, I have to inform you that you will not be buying this game. Check your PMs for the reason why. :)

Nice addition!

And now, what about Battle Bugs? :D

Oh snap! Nice touch :D

I must have gone through a serious black out period because I am not familiar with this game. However, since it does combine many of my favorite elements (horror/adventure), I - must - buy! No outside influences this time ;)

IAmSinistar: Gradually I have come back around and have largely stopped buying bundles. I have returned to my, admittedly old-school, approach of viewing each game on its merits and buying it if it is something I want to play and feel is priced fairly. I will still indulge in a sale, such as the recent Insomnia promo, to pick up titles that are impulse buys or which are of more marginal interest to me. But now when GOG brings out a game I want, such as this title or The Last Door, I buy it whether it is discounted or not.
While I do buy games I really want for full price, it's gotten to a point where it doesn't make any sense to me to buy others at full price I know I'd like to play at some point but not immediately. Oftentimes, especially these days, the latter will end up in a sale before I'll even get around to playing them, such as Sin Gold and Inherit the Earth. There have been quite a few occasions I felt stupid for buying at full price when that happened.

Financially speaking, it just isn't very prudent. Sure, if I really wanted to I very likely could buy all the games I'm interested at their regular going rate, but I really prefer to save money whenever I can. At near-minimum wage it's a good thing I've become quite a bit more fiscally responsible - it hasn't always been the case for me - and I dare say I do better with my finances than some who may earn twice or triple my income. I've never been in debt or behind in payments and I never intend to be. ;) I've also never lived from paycheck to paycheck. *knocks on wood*

Wow. Okay. I'm rambling again. Anyway, while my beast of a backlog will likely never decrease to manageable levels, I still end up paying less for more games and at the very same time saving money in the progress. What's bad about that? Nothing at all. :)

It seems like a lot of people love this game, but I doubt I could ever play it. The screenshots alone give me nightmares.

This is an absolutely stellar release, good on you GOG.

Yah, I know the backlog dilemma. Even if I never bought another game I could play a new title every day for about three years. :)

Being fiscally responsible is something I encourage. But I am also something of an activist with my buying habits. I will buy from places which run a more ethical business, even if it costs more. Similarly I give GOG wallet-votes of support for bringing out the games I want. Naturally I don't expect everyone to be this way, or to have the resources to do so even if they did want to.

Basically I want the system to remain fair for all involved. I want the devs to be able to make a living off of what they make (and thus keep making for us to enjoy), I want GOG to make a profit from what they sell (and thus be able to keep bringing us more to buy), and I want us to be able to enjoy these games at a reasonable cost. My concern is that the rampant bundling and discounting may eventually create a race to the bottom where this mutual support system is no longer viable. Then we all lose out.

The more adventure games the better. Haters can keep on hating, this is exactly the type of release I look forward to on GOG.

Many thanks! I already answer your PM, as it was the first thing that popped up when I came home from the office.

IAmSinistar: snip
I very rarely even bother considering bundles anymore. Is it good value for the customer? It undoubtedly is, but then I'd end up getting stuck with a lot of games I'm not terribly interested in, too. The funny thing is that, more often than not, I typically already own the games of real interest that may pop up in bundles, making said bundles not at all desirable to me. Heh.

Likewise. And worse, once I've got those bundles I hardly take note of them again. I picked up A Valley Without Wind in one of them god-knows-when, and it wasn't until someone here on GOG suggested I check it out that I actually played it. I quite like it, yet it probably would have languished with all the other "games for a quarter" otherwise. When I get a game on GOG it sticks with me, thanks to how carefully GOG selects and presents them. That ends up being better value for me in the long run.

I am a little disheartened that nobody has shared this on r/games yet. :-/ I guess it's not as big news to most "outsiders" as Theme Park or I Have No Mouth was.
