Upon its discovery, the locket transforms Roger's soul into a cockroach, and transports him to a mysterious sewer system connected to every section of the bar. But after a small argument with his landlord, Eddie, he remembers a little trinket that he had gotten in his early childhood: a bug-like locket that belonged to his dead mother, Angelina. Roger has stolen a million dollars worth of loan money from a science corporation he had previously worked for and is planning to leave for Mexico City to start a new life. The story takes place in a filthy bar owned by Eddie Battito. In the game, the cat's name is Franz and the main character Roger Samms is a play on the lead character in Metamorphosis (Gregor Samsa).

The storyline in Bad Mojo is loosely based on Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis. 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. The gameplay consists of guiding the cockroach through a series of puzzles. An accident with his mother's enchanted locket unleashes the bad mojo, turning him into a cockroach.

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.
