Bad Mojo is a 1996 adventure game developed by Pulse Entertainment and published by Acclaim Entertainment for Windows and Macintosh. The game follows Roger Samms, an entomologist who accidentally unleashes a curse (the titular bad mojo) 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.
