Your captain can’t speak. Can’t move. Can’t even feed himself — and he’s the reason all five of you are dying out here, one ration at a time, on a freighter that’s never going to be rescued. The kindest thing left on the ship is a bottle of mouthwash with a proof high enough to forget that for a while.
Mouthwashing is Wrong Organ’s acclaimed 2024 psychological horror game about the doomed crew of the freighter Tulpar, finally reaching consoles October 29.
Take a deep breath and hold it, fiends — because the Mouthwashing console release is real: publisher CRITICAL REFLEX announced that the nightmare launches October 29 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, with a PC version via the Microsoft Store the same day.

A Slow Death Worth Repeating
Mouthwashing earned its reputation the hard way — no jump-scare assembly line, just a fractured, non-linear unravelling of what really happened aboard the Tulpar, told through the eyes of a crew starving in every sense. PC players made it a phenomenon: more than 800,000 copies sold on Steam, an 88 on Metacritic, and award recognition for its narrative, including at the Horror Game Awards. PlayStation owners have been waiting since the port was first teased back in January 2025. The wait ends on October 29 — two days before Halloween, because of course it does.
Full Disclosure, Up Front
Full disclosure, up front, because that’s how we do things here: console pricing hasn’t been announced, and the console versions haven’t been reviewed yet — the scores above belong to the PC original. What we know is the date, the platforms, and a game that has already proven it can crawl inside a player’s head and stay there.
