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.
Now that's a classic release! Instant purchase (for at least the third time in my life), and very glad to see this amazing game here on GOG!
Great release, will buy at some point. I think I might have the original cd somewhere but not sure...
Wishlisted! Looks very interesting.

Pretty sure I have the redux manual. (but no scanner). Is this something you still need?

Sometimes this forum makes me want to cry. Here GOG releases a genuine classic, not one of the oldest ones but certainly a groundbreaking game that dares to tell an original story. And yet I see post after post saying "wishlisted". If people who are interested can't pony up $6 to support classic releases at "full" price, then I don't see how we can keep hounding GOG to release more.

tinyE: No more bitching about this site...EVER AGAIN BY ANYONE!
Next thread I see about 'nothing good, nothing classic' I'm going to gather up all my cockroach friends and:
You called it!
There you have it

From what I've read you seem an old, wise man. Refrain from making other people's bills and balance account decisions and you'll be even wiser; with many less tears to shed.
GOG is not to be pitied when it comes to making money, I daresay. Their sales are as much part of their product as the games they sell, so presenting people waiting for a sale as a detriment to GOG is false, since GOG is offering those sales in the first place. It's marketing. Well-calculated. Do you think they're doing it out of pure philantropy?

(I felt the need to react since I was the last to say "wishlisted" before your comment)

Oh hell yeah! I bought the original on PC back in 1996, for some reason it always crashed on my PC so I had to return it, I'll finally get to experience it 18 years later in REDUX format. Thank you GOG!

Well, you can't expect every GOGer to instantly buy each old release. I'm rather annoyed by the complaints that this is not that one classic everyone wanted or that it isn't from a genre that hasn't been covered in a while. This obscure game has been coming up on the forums for years and people keep saying that it's a hidden gem. Sure, that doesn't automatically make it a game for everyone but for frigg's sake - it's exactly the kind of release that GOG should be delivering to us.
Also, we're totally broke after Insomnia v2 +_+
people were playing super mario 64 in 1996 and monsters were playing this

...

I've always been a monster :)

I am at least wise enough to know that everyone's financial circumstances are different, and that levels of disposable income vary. So I am not berating any one individual for making the decision to delay their purchase to a future date. Instead I am lamenting what seems to be the larger trend, at least going by the anecdotal evidence offered by posters in this thread. The preponderance of "wishlisted" over "instabuy" is disheartening, to say the least. The intended message may not be "thanks for the classic, I'll buy it when it's even cheaper", but the impression is conveyed nonetheless.

I know that GOG is a profitable business. That doesn't relieve us as consumers from supporting the business when it makes efforts to grant our requests. Imagine if a bunch of regular patrons kept insisting that their favourite restaurant start carrying a new dish, and then when the restaurant at last unveiled it most those same patrons said "About time! I'll probably buy it one day when you've got a special on it." If I were the manager of that restaurant, and I saw this behaviour repeated again and again, what do you suppose my attitude towards these patrons would become?

Perhaps I'm anthropomorphosising, giving emotional attributes to a commercial entity. But many of us know the people behind GOG and the efforts they go through to get us these games. For me at least that does make it personal.
Fantastic - lost my cd eons ago - as soon as i recover from the spring insomnia+ last weekend promo i will take it regardless of my backlog growing bigger & bigger....
Completely out of left field! I had no idea, great release. Very happy to be wrong.

But how does this fit in with the Enigmatic Hint of "under construction"?

And I'm very happy to be wrong. ;)

It doesn't :) "Under cosntruction" refers to us ironing out the last minute bugs out of this release :)
