Mouthwashing

A phenominal indie, psychological horror game. The concept and the scary bits are incredibly creative and fantastically strange. Each character is unique, nuanced, and complex. (Jimmy sucks though). Overall, this game really makes you think.

mouthwashing is an incredible, jaw-dropping exploration of the devastation instilled by abuse, framed through the eyes of the instigator themself. while playing, i said: "they haven't made words to describe this game," and i think that was precisely how i feel. the use of surreal elements are effectively executed in tandem with the pointed symbolism in order to create an excellently-struck balance between each genre of horror. similarly, the visual style was perfectly chosen and synergises wonderfully with the story. the strong opening establishes a consistent sense of unease in its constant confusion. the characters are well-constructed in an incredibly short amount of time without an overreliance on tropes. i think their mental deterioration is well-done, especially with the use of timeskips. the absence leaves room to imagine what could be happening without slowing the game's pace. however, i do wish we got more time with anya. you can narratively justify her absence; but i would have loved to see more of her. i think the game was the perfect length. i was afraid that it would end in the wrong moment; and it was exactly right instead. just amazing. i was so impressed by this game! <3

Recomendo.

Amazingly unique experience. Waited way too long to try it and ended up finishing it in one session.
