New Demo Now Available for Psychological Horror Game ‘Mouthwashing’ [Trailer]
For those who have been waiting for a chance to dive deeper into Wrong Organ’s surreal psychological horror title Mouthwashing (Aaron checked it out back in February during Steam Next Fest), you now have your chance with a brand-new demo. This coincides with the announcement that Wrong Organ has teamed up with publisher CRITICAL REFLEX to release Mouthwashing, though no release date has been announced as of yet.
Mouthwashing isn’t the only indie horror title that’s now under the CRITICAL REFLEX banner, which will publish the titles under the CR Channel publishing label. The collection of titles includes Mike Klubnika’s Buckshot Roulette, free found-footage horror game TELEFORUM, and three upcoming titles: horror-sim Regular Home Renovation Simulator, horror fishing adventure Drowned Lake, and surreal hand-painted adventure Flawless Abbey (which also has a demo available).
From the team that brought you the “indie pescatarian darling” How Fish is Made, Mouthwashing centres on the crew of Pony Express’s interplanetary freighter Tulpar. When the freighter goes off course, its five crew members find themselves stranded with a diminishing supply of resources.
Faced with the threat of starvation and the crippling isolation that comes with being stranded, the crew must fight back paranoia and hallucinations as they come to realize the question is not whether they will survive, but when they will perish… and who will be responsible.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
