Cockroach Simulation

Cockroach Simulation casts the player as a cockroach rather than a human character. The game takes place inside the house of an old hunter, where the insect must find enough to eat and stay out of harm’s way. The developer describes it as a life simulator that combines comedy and horror elements.

The core activity is scavenging. Food is found in rubbish, leftover deliveries and rotten scraps scattered around the house. At the same time, the player has to avoid traps and steer clear of the homeowner and other creatures capable of killing the cockroach. The difficulty increases as time passes, so surviving becomes progressively more demanding.

Beyond basic survival, the house itself can be explored. Doing so gradually reveals secrets about the old man who lives there. The setting is presented as dirty and oppressive, in keeping with the game’s horror influences.
