Mouthwashing

Mouthwashing is a first-person psychological horror game set aboard the Tulpar, a damaged space freighter stranded far from help. You follow its five crew members as isolation and dwindling supplies shape life aboard the ship.

Explore the freighter, speak with the crew, inspect your surroundings, and solve light puzzles to move through its rooms and events. Some sections add chase, stealth, or reflex-based challenges.

The story unfolds across chapters that shift between different times and perspectives, gradually filling in the crew’s situation. Environmental details, dialogue, and surreal scenes provide clues as you progress.

Many reviewers praise the unsettling atmosphere, story, and character writing, especially the way the shifting timeline and visual details invite players to piece events together. The retro art and sound design are also recurring highlights. Some players find the experience memorable and affecting, while others consider the story less compelling or the gameplay too slight; its short length and simple puzzles draw criticism from several reviewers.
