If you’ve been holding out—and I have to be honest, missing out—on playing developer Wrong Organ’s psychological-horror titleMouthwashing, well now you have no excuse. Publisher Critical Reflex announced today thatMouthwashingwill be heading to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch later this year.
The unique horror game that uses nostalgic PSX-style visuals to tell the haunting tale of the doomed crew aboard a space freighter called the Tulpar was released on Steam in September 2024 and has sold over 500,000 copies on the platform. According to Critical Reflex, fans interested in a physical edition on the PS5 or Switch will have the opportunity tosnag one through Fangamer.
Honestly,Mouthwashingis one of those games that that least you know going into it, the better. If you’re a fan of psychological horror games that are a bit out there in terms of narrative and setting, you won’t find a better example. However, if you want to have somewhat of an idea of what to expect, here is the premise:
InMouthwashingyou explore the story of a dying crew aboard a shipwrecked space freighter hauling mouthwash across the expanse of space. You’ll switch between various crew members in first-person as you explore what caused the shipwreck as well as what has transpired since, all while trying to come up with a gameplan. The ship will only stay powered for a few months, and food will run out well before then. But at least there’s mouthwash, right? For the most part it’s a narrative-driven experience, and one well worth experiencing.
The crew of the Tulpar andMouthwashingcrashlands on PlayStation, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch later this year. Those interested in playing now can do so on PC via Steam.
