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.
While a sorrowful game like What Remains of Edith Finch chooses to end on more of a “life is short, but beautiful” angle, the opposite can be said here: Mouthwashing waits until the last minute to deliver its final, devastating punchline.

Mouthwashing is an incredibly visceral sci-fi horror experience that delves into the dark abyss of the human condition, and the few short hours you spend with its stranded space crew will chill you to your core.
A taut, time-hopping horror game that playfully subverts expectations at every step, and is all the more refreshing for it.
When I first found out about Mouthwashing, I heard it’s one of those games where it’s best to go in knowing very little. And while that’s true for the story, the game does let you know what the general vibe is pretty early. Mouthwashing is an indie sci-fi horror game…
