Mouthwashing

Mouthwashing is a first-person horror game set aboard a doomed cargo spaceship whose crew faces a slow and inexorable decline into madness and despair. The narrative begins with a shocking revelation—the once-respected Captain Kerli, driven by unknown motives, has orchestrated a scenario where neither he nor his crew will leave the ship alive. Trapped in the wreckage of their vessel, you and your crewmates are thrust into a survival scenario where psychological strain is as deadly as the lack of resources.

A Descent into Madness

The gameplay of Mouthwashing immerses players in the dark psychological aftermath of the catastrophe. As the surviving members struggle with isolation and dwindling supplies, the social dynamics of the group take a dark turn. Interactions become a key element of the experience, challenging players to navigate complex relationships and moral dilemmas under extreme stress. This aspect intensifies the horror, as trust erodes and human nature is tested to its limits.

With no hope of rescue and systems failing, the game creates an intense atmosphere where every sound and shadow could signify danger or descent into insanity. The ship becomes a character in its own right, a claustrophobic environment that echoes with the remnants of the crew’s desperation. Players must use their wits and whatever resources they can scavenge to manage both physical and mental survival.

Narrative and Psychological Challenges

Mouthwashing pushes players to confront the reality of their situation. The narrative is unforgiving, with each decision impacting the crew’s chances of holding onto sanity and life. Psychological tricks and auditory hallucinations blur the line between reality and psychosis, making it difficult for players to trust their senses. This layer of psychological horror enhances the gameplay, ensuring that even seasoned horror fans find new terrains of fear to explore.
