Wrong Organ, the developers of one of my top picks for 2024, Mouthwashing, has just announced a publishing deal with Critical Reflex (Buckshot Roulette). Do we have a release date? No, but there is a playable demo available.

Sent on the interplanetary freighter Tulpar, its crew of five find themselves stranded off course and running out of supplies. Not only is starvation kicking in, but so too are the hallucinations and paranoia amongst their fellow co-workers.

Mouthwashing Review: Minty Fresh Space Oddities
In space, no one can hear you bake. However, crash into an asteroid, and - no, you’re done and on your own in Mouthwashing.

Mouthwashing was playable during the Steam Next Fest (and currently still), and this story-driven psychological horror was easily one of my favourite games to play. Key features include:

  • Inescapable Isolation: Explore claustrophobic corridors as time closes in on you.
  • Immersive Storytelling: Every detail tells a story. A keen eye is key.
  • An Unfolding Narrative: Uncover the truth about your captain, your crew, and your cargo.
  • Descend into Madness: Question everything, trust nothing. Not even your own mind.
  • Unforgiving Brutality: Hope to die, or for goodness sake, pray that everyone else did.

Here’s a trailer:
