You are Roger Samms. All your life you’ve been the little man, the square peg, the forgotten man. With a rat-hole apartment, dead-end job, and an unbearable landlord breathing down your neck, you’ve finally had enough. Armed with a briefcase of stolen cash and a plane ticket to Mexico, you had the perfect plan. If it wasn’t for an accident involving a mysterious family keepsake, you may have pulled it off. Unfortunately, you’ve unleashed something crazy, something weird, like a twisted spell. Baaad mojo. Finding yourself suddenly transformed into a cockroach, you’ll need to brave spiders, a killer cat and a myriad of other perils if you want to survive this long and perilous detour into the night of your soul.
