The screensavers use FMV technology (when live actors appear instead of 3D character models). The story is inspired by Frank Kafka’s novella The Metamorphosis.

Roger tries to get to his body in the form of an insect in order to move back inside. The locket suddenly transferred his soul to a cockroach that was in another part of the house. After an argument with the landlord, Samms took his late mother’s amulet with him. The character already wanted to flee to Mexico with money, but a mystical incident ruined all his plans. But one day he got a job at a research company and stole $1 million from him. The main character has always been a failure. The former owns a dirty bar in San Francisco while the latter rents a room in the same run-down building and is also the protagonist. If you are not easily disgusted, though, you will likely find Bad Mojo one of the most original adventure games you'll have ever played.Bad mojo redux talks about the sad lives of Eddie Battito and Roger Samms.

It is probably NOT for everyone due to a disturbing focus and some downright disgusting graphics. Overall, Bad Mojo offers a unique premise, great graphics, and inventive gameplay that provides plenty of thought-provoking puzzles without an inventory (hey, you are a roach)- making it a must-play for all adventure gamers.

Movie snippets appear throughout the game to provide clues and move the plot along. The acting is over-the-top, but tolerable. Gameplay is restricted to the moving cursors (but hey, you are a roach), but there are many ingenious puzzles that require thought, intuition, and astute observation. No doubt one of the most unique and disturbing an adventure ever, Bad Mojo's premise is refreshingly original: you are a misanthropic, selfish young man who's turned into a cockroach by the powers that be, to put yourself "in others' shoes," euphemistically speaking.
