How it feels

You scurry through a grimy household as a tiny cockroach, blending darkly comic survival with absurd, atmospheric exploration.

What players say

Players enjoy the novel perspective of living as a cockroach, but say the game is short on content and goals, with some reporting performance issues and unclear controls. Reviews from the early days note that updates have replaced rats with a dog and added more light, though the game remains a straightforward survival loop of eating, hiding, and laying eggs.
