Description
Roger was about to do something bad. Unfortunately, he can't remember what it was because he has been transformed into a cockroach. In this Kafkaesque graphic adventure game, Roger (you) must scurry through the walls of a run down San Francisco bar trying to restore his memory and his human form while avoiding spiders, a roach eating cat, and other creatures that live in the bar.Screenshots

The three possible endings can be found as .mov files on the CD-ROM.References
- At the bottom of the newspaper page placed above the urinal, there is an ad for Iron Helix, which was developed by the same team.

- The cut out eyes on the wall of Roger's research room include those of celebrities, such as Michelle Pfeiffer and David Duchovny.
