The player is cast as Roger Samms, an [[entomologist]] planning to [[embezzle]] money from a [[research grant]] to escape his sordid life above an abandoned bar. An accident with his mother's enchanted locket unleashes a curse β the titular ''[[Mojo (African-American culture)|bad mojo]]'' β that turns him into a [[cockroach]]. The storyline in ''Bad Mojo'' is loosely based on [[Franz Kafka]]'s 1915 novella ''[[The Metamorphosis]]''; Roger Samms' name is an imperfect [[anagram]] of the lead character's in ''Metamorphosis'' ([[Gregor Samsa]]), and a cat called Franz appears in the game. The gameplay consists of guiding the cockroach through a series of puzzles. [[Got Game Entertainment]] re-released the game in December 2004 as ''Bad Mojo Redux'', packaging it with a DVD containing a variety of extra material.
