Mouthwashing

Mouthwashing is one of the shortest horror games I've played but it's going to stay with me for a very long time. Bleak, nasty, and downright scary, it has a lot to say and doesn't hold back.

Mouthwashing captivates with its eerie atmosphere, gripping narrative, and tense psychological horror. While some mechanics falter, it’s a memorable, haunting indie gem of 2024.

Mouthwashing is a must-play horror experience and has cemented Wrong Organ as a team to continue to watch moving forward.

Don’t let your worst moment define you. But what if your worst moment has doomed your whole crew? This is the situation we are faced with at the beginning of Wrong Organ’s psychological horror game, Mouthwashing, after Captain Curly attempts to end his life by purposely crashing the The Tulpur, a Pony Express Long-Haul Space Freighter. His attempt was unsuccessful.

The five crew members of the Tulpar are stranded in the empty reaches of space, shrouded in perpetual sunset. God is not watching. PC version reviewed. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes.

Despite Mouthwashing’s unsettling atmosphere, this immersive tale will make you want to take responsibility for the Tulpar - just make sure to approach with a fresh, open mind.

In the opening minutes of Mouthwashing, the pilot of a spaceship crashes head-on into an asteroid, stranding the crew in the far reaches of space and brutally maiming the captain within an inch of his life. What follows is an existential horror show with unique visual effects, brutal dialogue, and surreal consequences that kept my eyes locked to the screen for the entire three-hour playtime. I am ...

A taut, time-hopping horror game that playfully subverts expectations at every step, and is all the more refreshing for it.

Mouthwashing is a fantastic little horror game that is well worth your time on the Steam Deck.

Mouthwashing offers a top-tier sci-fi horror story with themes and symbols that will likely stay with you long after your journey aboard the Tulpar. The gameplay is passive and repetitive, but those craving well-written characters and story content should appreciate their time in the captain’s chair.

Mouthwashing is a game about how being a victim to a problematic employer for most of your life is just about as horrifying as being stranded in Space. I don’t like writing scores at the ends of my reviews, but if you skipped to the bottom and really must know: Mouthwashing is a 10/10 experience, so go fork out the scraps from your wallet and wages and buy it now.
