The game

A tiny citizen versus a giant bureaucracy

Roach Republic is a fast, funny, one-thumb survivor roguelite where a tiny citizen takes on a giant, absurd bureaucracy, one stapled file at a time.

Roach Republic banner: a cartoon roach on a stamped seal, with the tagline Small bugs. Big system. Someone has to fix it.
What's inside

Drag to move. Your stapler does the rest.

Dodge hordes of shambling File Zombies, Paper Cuts, Permit Guards and Notary Wasps while your weapons fire on their own. Level up, pick perks, and build your roach into a one-insect department of justice.

12 bosses with one weakness each

The Gatekeeper only opens his window now and then. The Loophole can’t be hit while it’s “technically not there.” The File Eater ate your file, and its jammed drawer takes triple damage. Every boss teaches you one trick. Learn it, then show them.

A villain you’ll love to hate

Commissioner Stampley runs The Bureau and he will not stop talking. Fight through the Ministry of Missing Files, the Department of Delays and the Transfer Terminal to find out who he reports to.
