Mouthwashing News

[h3]Hi there![/h3]

We just launched a little update for Mouthwashing, but it’s more of an opportunity for us to chat with you all, really. How’s 2025 treating you so far, does it hurt less?

Good.

Let’s start with the actual patch notes first:

• Vietnamese community localization added
  
• Finally removed the ability to wipe your achievement progress by accident (sorry about that)
  
• Various small fixes
  

Now, we didn’t win the Steam Award for Best Narrative, but it was never about the destination, really. We’d like to sincerely thank everyone who voted for us and who helped us make it into the Quite Stacked Shortlist of Steam Awards.

And here’s our thanks in form of a short video by our dear friend Joetastic, please enjoy the Post-Steam Awards Special:

That being said, there’s still a chance to win at DIGY Awards! If you’d like to show us even more of your support, consider voting for Mouthwashing in the Audience Choice nomination and thank you so much yet again
Phew, and with that out of the way let’s jump into our regularly scheduled ‘holy shit how is our community so talented, we don’t deserve them’ part of the devlog.

It’s incredibly hard not to make this section into a 50-page long mess, but with an aching heart we got down to like 10 fan arts or so. However we encourage you to go on Twitter (or X or whatever else you wanna call it) and go through the #Mouthwashing hashtag, there’s some pure gold in here!

Oh, and if you are creating fan-art and you want us to see it in any of the future community spotlights, either tag us (@Wrong_Organ) or use the #Mouthwashing hashtag, so it’ll be easier for us to find!

Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t completed Mouthwashing by this point, we highly encourage you to go play it first. Full spoilers ahead!

And with that we are done for today.

Thank you so much for making it to the end of this devlog. Once again, we are incredibly thankful to all of you who came along with us on this journey. We hope it’s not gonna be the last and we hope to find new and unique ways to hurt you (lovingly).

Be kind. Stay strong. Don’t be daft.

See you next time,

I played Mouthwashing entirely in one sitting back in October and had to lie down for a while afterward to recover. I felt vile, unsettled at what I'd seen over the previous three hours. Mouthwashing is about as classic a "walking simulator" as you can get mechanically, and while its stabs at more intensive gameplay fell a little flat for me, its narrative, vision, and atmosphere made it one of 2024's standouts, a people's champion of indie horror for very good reason...

Balatro is obviously one of the best games from 2024, and now the dev behind it has shared what they think are the top titles from last year.

To be honest with all of you, this is a milestone we never anticipated passing. More than a quarter-million copies sold – that’s an achievement we would make jokes about. And now that we are here, seriously, we can’t thank you enough for making this happen.

And again, shout out to all the people making fan art. You could be drawing just about anything else, but you choose to draw our characters instead, and that means a lot to us:

Thank you for every playthrough, every moment spent in Mouthwashing, and every bit of emotion you shared with us. Here’s to the next big milestone — we can’t wait to share it with you!

Huge thanks to @Joetastic_ for catching the current vibe!

[h3]The Last One:[/h3]
Thanks to the success of Mouthwashing, we now have 15 new localizations (sadly Sardine language wasn’t added this time either) for HOW FISH IS MADE. If you haven’t played it yet, or want to dive back in and freshen up your experience, now’s the time to answer the question:

[h3]and Then Another:[/h3]
We couldn’t leave the katamari-like DLC, The Last One and Then Another, without localization either. Take this chance to experience it now and spot the canon Captain Curly cameo.

You all rock. For real. Thanks for everything.

With gratitude that’s fresher than ever,

Grandiose spectacles of horror are certainly impressive, but those don't usually keep me up at night. The scariest games I've played this year have been from smaller studios and even solo devs who've managed to piece together fantastic narratives, disturbing sequences, and spine chilling horror in compact form...
