In this reference this movie is a big success! It starts in min 13:39 with the first animated cockroach and it on and on it goes. Unfortunately they are all animated. And they are a big thread! Because they have teeth and kill humans. These Cockroaches have been bred by a capitalistic businessman who controls them with a remote control.
But they decided to not be controlled anymore!

49. Set on a boat or ship
The world is overun with trash. One scientist has found an answer to that, cockroaches. ? He bioengineered cockroaches to eat garbage and sets out on a boat with a container full of them to show the world. Unfortunately that container falls over in an accident. Hilarity ensues.
This is basically a Syfy/Asylum level movie from China. Has the usual characters, generic set pieces, and the worst cgi I've seen in a long time. All thing I loved about it. There's even a guy that is possesed by the cockroaches at one point. Twas amazing.
Effects are pretty bad, but it gets across the idea enough that it's effective at grossing me out anyway. I do really hate cockroaches so I suppose that's an easy feat. The high heel kill and the mass of roaches forming the queen get some points from me on visuals. It's a little schlocky but a decent way to kill an hour and a half.
Chinese Elon Musk engineers cockroaches to eat plastic for environmentalist reasons, but they go rogue and start eating humans as well. from there it's pretty much what you expect, the CGI is boring and the characters aren't very interesting. there is one fun scene where the roaches combine in the form of a giant lady who lectures the humans about producing too much garbage, but that's the only highlight.
The first session, I had everyone create a character of their choice, no limits. We ended a up with a Saiyan, the cockroach alien from MiB, a super soldier hunting the alien, a goblin and Snowball from Rick and Morty (complete with mech suit). I started them in the Gardens of Ynn universe, randomly rolling locations and encounters.
I had no plan for it as it was just something to tide everyone over until the next D&D session, but they enjoyed it so much that they want to keep playing. In the second session, I dropped in a voice from the sky asking them if they've found "it" yet and started creating some kind of backstory for the game.
This sort of battling against an oppressive tide of bleakness is of course will be a familiar experience to anyone who has played the likes of Papers Please and to the credit of Robot Gentleman they do try to balance out the bleakness with some genuinely funny aswell as truly bizarre scenarios to play through such as the cockroaches who if you choose not to wipe them out, turn out to be super intelligent cockroaches and depending on the choices you make can even turn into the neighbours from hell as they start stealing power so that they can work on their hotrod. Unquestionably these random little moments help to elivate the gloom which their counterparts seem to revel in.

Desperate for food, Shaurya resorts to eating cockroaches, ants and pigeons and also starts talking to a rat for company. To his relief, it rains heavily after some days, and Shaurya collects as much water as possible in empty containers. He manages to survive for almost a week, but his health deteriorates due to starvation, dehydration, and isolation. In a final, desperate attempt to escape, Shaurya begins sawing through the balcony gate with a metal sheet, and ultimately succeeds. He climbs down five floors, almost falling off several times due to exhaustion, before managing to reach a floor which has no balcony gates and finally escapes the building. Fainting due to fatigue and weakness, he is rushed to the hospital. A week later, he is visited by Noorie, who reveals that she is now married since she thought that he had abandoned her. Heartbroken and traumatised by the incident, Shaurya tries to return to his normal life, but is shattered to see that his friends and colleagues had not even noticed his absence, as they are all too busy with their own lives.
