“I went into Mouthwashing expecting a cosmic horror game akin to Alien. You start on a ship with a charming crew and it seems like everything is set for everyone to get picked off one by one while you try to save the day…”
“Mouthwashing is a short but impactful narrative experience. It’s not about gameplay, but about atmosphere, characters, and slowly uncovering what went wrong aboard the ship. The visual style is simple, but the game…”
“This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing, so amazing that inspired me to make a poem (which cointain spoilers): "Laughing on misery is a past time Delusions can only get you so far Crumble under your own pressure And deny the…”

“This should've been a movie, artistic direction and non-linear storytelling are decent but nothing that justifies that being a game honestly.”

“I could describe this as a walking sim, but that would be a disrespect with the attention to the story, details and subversion of the genre. They made the game make sense with the narrative, almost mixing sometimes the…”
“Amazing story and perfect amount of jumpscares and horror, beautiful style and art. Spend one night finishing this game in one sitting for best experience”
“Unexpectedly scary, Im probably just a wuss though. a certain part with Swansea had me screaming while my friends laughed at my suffering. its crazy how unreliable the narrator is, i really thought Anya was useless at…”

“Superb short experience if you're a fan of PS1-esque graphics and have a penchant for storytelling-focused horror. Play it blind. Don't look at the Discussions or anything online until you finish. You'll thank yourself…”
“Such a visually gritty game with such a cool concept and characters. Scared the hell out of me and had my full attention the whole way through, short but very bitter sweet”
“Short but an amazing experience to play nonetheless. I was invested the entire time and didn't expect any of the twists and turns along the way, I'm very happy I went through this game blind. If the price is too high…”

“Buying this game was my best choice on steam, I really enjoyed the game and characters, the story was very good as well, I don't think there is a better story game like this. #hate jimmy.”
“This is the most disgusting horror game I've played. The Steam page gives you a good idea on what this game's about, but even then I was NOT prepared for the things that happened in this game. This game is more than…”

“A brilliant story, told completely unbrilliantly. It's gains nothing from being delivered in a video game format. Just watch a video essay about the plot - I promise it will be more interesting and worthwhile than…”
“this game was good but WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS ONLY TWO HOURS OFF PLAYTIME??? Twelve euro for this game isnt worth it if its just two hours off "fun"!!! This is walking simulator but schizofrenia edition, you can tell…”

“Interesting, fairly minimalistic narrative game. Best to go in pretty blind. It’s a short experience but on sale is worth it, probably not worth the full price. It does do that one annoying thing that a lot of more…”

“Interesting story told in an engaging way. I do wish the few gameplay sections were a bit clearer or easier. On my first playthrough, it took me a while to figure each of them out and one of them is almost impossible…”
“Short and fun game with an interesting universe. My only complaint is the is a decent amount of merely walking between places on the ship. The game also essentially is rails off; it doesnt really explain anything at all…”

— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“Not usually a massive horror game fan but really enjoyed this. Made me realise I just don't like survival horror or constant jumpscares. This game was mainly focused on the eerie atmosphere and the story itself. Which I very much enjoyed. There were still a couple of minor…”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“A short and simple story that wouldn’t work without its narrative structure and stylistic choices, slowly pulling you into a deep, boiling swamp of personal hell and blurring the lines of reality. Even though the game clearly overuses some tricks, it still leaves you with…”
