Critic Reviews for Mouthwashing
Mouthwashing is grimy, uncomfortable, and incredibly compelling, painting an unsettling picture of who we can be in our worst moments – and it doesn’t let us get away with it.
A taut, time-hopping horror game that playfully subverts expectations at every step, and is all the more refreshing for it.
Mouthwashing is a horror tale with a great story, but despite mouthwash being a key part of the narrative, there's still an awkward taste here...
While Mouthwashing certainly won’t be for everyone, its unsettling sights and slow-burn narrative are difficult to scrub from memory. It builds toward brutal reveals with style and purpose as its fragmented storytelling forces us to fill in the gaps—its suggestions of violence are often worse than the real thing. It has plenty of terrifying sights, but perhaps its scariest element is how it puts us in the headspace of someone committing increasingly awful acts, all conveyed via distressing moments of interactivity that make you feel complicit in the butchery. Through its portrayal of desperation and crushing guilt, Mouthwashing is as cold as the vacuum of space.
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.
Mouthwashing, a psychological horror survival story set on a marooned starship, is both terrifying and thoughtful.
Mouthwashing is a short but intense experience, with original storytelling, a haunting atmosphere, and some gameplay limitations that don't overshadow a title that stands out in the indie scene.
