Mouthwashing is a 2024 horror adventure game developed by Swedish company Wrong Organ and published by Cyprus-based Russian company Critical Reflex. It follows the crew of the cargo spaceship Tulpar after a mysterious crash leaves them stranded in space, trapped within as supplies dwindle. The captain, alive but maimed and unable to speak or move, is blamed by the crew for deliberately crashing the ship. The game received acclaim for its narrative and visual style.

Runs well on modern hardware.

For such a short game, I was surprised how much was packed in. At first it seemed a little confusing but the more you play, the more it all comes together and I really enjoyed how the story was done. A very entertaining psych horror that will keep you hooked from start to finish. I strongly recommend you play this game. Step into the disturbing atmosphere of Mouthwashing, you won't regret it.

A fascinating story from start to finish. Loved it. Spoilers below [spoiler] The boring, usual narrative would've just been to condemn Jimmy, to make him the villain. But this game does that, and goes a step further that most don't. It condemns Jimmy, yes, but it also condemns Curly and his inaction. It is not shy with the fact that Curly is just as culpable for Jimmy's actions because Curly could have stopped this. Curly could have protected Anya. He chose not to. It's a powerful condemnation that choosing not to act, is in itself an action and a decision. [/spoiler]
Cool. Maybe a bit overhyped? But cool nonetheless. The characters are likeable, the atmosphere matches the setting and the plot twist is interesting. Some sections are boring, but they contribute to the game's general tone. I'm not here to judge how much other people's work should cost, especially when it's something more aesthetically/art heavy or an indie/passion project, but maaybe get it on a sale. Good game.
