[h3]Hi there![/h3]

We’re proud to announce that the second wave of Mouthwashing X Fangamer merch is out now! Told you it wouldn’t take too long, yeah?

…Even if sometimes it takes only a couple of months to completely deteriorate the human psyche.

On a serious note, we’re incredibly overwhelmed by all the positive reception of our collab with Fangamer! Seeing people proudly display their affection for our little game is an experience that’s hard to convey with a few words. We are truly, truly grateful to you all and we hope this next one is gonna bring you as much joy.

Unfortunately Fangamer still refuses our requests to make real mouthwash and fill an entire storage facility with it. Maybe next time.

[h3]HAPPY BIRTHDAY T-SHIRT[/h3]



Sometimes we thrive, travel the endless reaches of space. But other times we just have to accept days like these.

This birthday party must never end.

OUT NOW ON FANGAMER AND FANGAMER EU&UK

[h3]COME TO DADDY T-SHIRT[/h3]



If a friend asks you what Mouthwashing is about, feel free to show them this T-Shirt without any additional context whatsoever.

They’ll understand everything. Probably.

OUT NOW ON FANGAMER AND FANGAMER EU&UK

[h3]AFTER THE CRASH MAGNET SET[/h3]



If you can just keep looking at them from just the right angle, maybe you can keep the illusion that everything is ok.

Comes as a full set. Do not separate.

OUT NOW ON FANGAMER AND FANGAMER EU&UK

[h3]TRANSFORMING POLLE PIN[/h3]



Quick test: do you feel any affection towards this cartoon horse? If yes, we may have some unfortunate news for you.

Wait, what do you mean it looks nightmare-ish?

OUT NOW ON FANGAMER AND FANGAMER EU&UK

[h3]DRAGONBREATH KEYCHAIN & CREW LANYARD [/h3]



Polle Says: Get the Crew Lanyard!

Teamwork is the soul of success! Having one of these will help you bond with fellow Pony Express crew members all across the world!

Pony Express does not provide funds to acquire the Pony Express Lanyard. HR complaints about poor team synergy may result in collective punishment.

OUT NOW ON FANGAMER AND FANGAMER EU&UK

[h3]CURLY PLUSH[/h3]



You knew it was coming. Curly Plush arriving soon on Fangamer. Don't forget to feed him his pills.

He's your responsibility now.

That brings us to the end of this update, but before we go there’s one more thing from the CR Channel Crew:

Two more weird, uncomfortable and provocative horror games have joined the CRITICAL REFLEX family. Everyone, please welcome CARIMARA: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs by Bastinus Rex and Eclipsium by Housefire Games.

If you love short, self-contained horror stories that linger in your mind after the credits roll (*cough* just like Mouthwashing *cough*), give ‘em a wishlist, ok?

Polle Says: Until Next Time,
Wrong Organ & CR Channel Crew

Our today’s message will be brief: Mouthwashing is 30% off on TinyTeam sale running now through August 14th.

If you’ve been sort of on the fence about getting Mouthwashing or if you have a person in your life who you’d really want to traumatise with a video game, now may be the perfect time to do so. We’d very much appreciate it, at least.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2475490/Mouthwashing/

However we didn’t want to sort of just come here to sell you our game and be done with our day, so we’re bringing back the Community Spotlight.

So with that out of the way, let’s proceed to the other part of our message: your wonderful, incredible fan-art. Oh if only you knew how hard and painful it is to just limit ourselves to 10-ish arts each time, but we’ll do our best to run more of these in the future.

(we still urge you to just go through #Mouthwashing hashtag on Twitter afterwards and support all artists who didn’t make it in one)

Thank you everyone for making it through to the very end. As mentioned before, we plan to run these community spotlights more often, and as a bit of a "coming soon" teaser - check back soon for more news on our Fangamer collaboration!

Until next time, stay fresh!

Mouthwashing was one of the best games of 2024, "a horror game whose narrative and aesthetics are going to be remembered, celebrated, and emulated" for years to come, as PC Gamer's Ted Litchfield wrote in his glowing 87% review. And if you'd like to buy it on indie-focused digital marketplace Itch.io, you're going to have a bit of a problem, because Mouthwashing no longer shows up in searches...
