Ep. 42 - Mouthwashing feat. Dave Jackson

Mouthwashing, developed by Wrong Organ and published by CRITICAL REFLEX, is a psychological horror game following the actions of the Tulpar's crew as they work together to survive a catastrophic crash in the middle of outer space. Tensions rise as food and supplies run low. You play as Jimmy, the acting captain, as he grapples with how to take responsibility for his crew during this trying situation. As the story proceeds, players will discover there's something even darker in this story than the empty void of space.
In Episode 42 of No Small Games, Kate and Emily are joined by Dave Jackson, host of the Tales from the Backlog podcast! The three discuss the harrowing story and iconic characters of Mouthwashing. They share their takeaways from the plot and game's message, as well as their hopes for the impact this game might have on players.
