The critically-acclaimed horror game Mouthwashing will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch later this year after publisher Critical Reflex celebrated 500K+ sales on Steam.
Physical editions will be available via Fangamer, and while pre-orders aren't available just yet, you can sign up for notifications so you don't miss out.
Mouthwashing gained significant attention following its initial release and has become somewhat of an instant cult hit with players, winning Best Narrative and Players’ Choice at the Horror Game Awards. It looks like it'll be a perfect fit for the Switch, and we're in love with the awesome PS1-inspired visuals.

Let's check out the official description:
- Descend into Madness - Follow the lives of the crew as they weather starvation, isolation, and each other. People were never your strong suit anyway.
- Zero Chance of Rescue - The ship will run out of power within six months. Food rations long before that.
- Immersive Storytelling - Pay attention to your surroundings.
- Psychological Scares - Your eyes are lying.
- Unforgiving Narrative - Hope to die, or for goodness sake, pray that everyone else did.
We'll have more on Mouthwashing, including its release date, as soon as we're able.
For now, let us know with a comment if you plan on picking this one up on th Switch. Did you play it on Steam too?

Definitely not for me, but happy for those interested in this game that it's coming also to Switch and even more so since it's even getting a physical release!
Putting this out here about 5+ years too late - can we drop the “perfect fit for Switch” unless it’s reserved for local multiplayer or something.
Not every game is deserving of that overused journalistic filler. It barely makes sense anymore.
"Descend into madness", "Zero chance of rescue"...
A good idea of gift for a friend with general anxiety disorders.
The name reminds me I brushed my teeth with soap once.
Avoid doing it.
@PessitheMystic I struggle to think of a game that’s not a perfect fit for Switch. I’d say something like Half-Life Alyx but I’d love to see them attempt to port that to Labo.
@PessitheMystic Yes boss, right away boss!
I have been saying a Sega 90's Arcade Racing Collection would be a perfect fit for Switch since 2017. It seems.Sega don't agree.
We need the console port for Buckshot Roulette next.
Reminds me of Killer7 on the GameCube. Same flavour of crazy.
@nessisonett Face Raiders, unless you want to play it with the IR sensor!
As far as horror walking simulators go, this one could be interesting. I might get it, if it's around $10 like it is for pc.
@Olliemar28 LMAO
I personally dont care for horror games, but my friends looooove this game so i'm happy for them! Watched a friend playthrough the game and it was really neat. Happy to see it doing well!
Fantastic news! I just recently checked this out on Steam!
@PessitheMystic Usually they use terms like „incredibly …“ and „highly anticipated“, much like Tom Cook says „awesome“ in every second sentence when talking about new Apple products. In comparison, „perfect fit for Switch“ is almost refreshing.
Horror games are 2spooky4me 🙈
Finally! My friend's been waxing lyrical about this game and I can finally tell them I'll be able to play it lmao.
I’ve already seen plenty of playthroughs of it but I’m definitely gonna get the physical if I can. Unlike LRG I actually can get fangamer games reliably in stores.
I was actually gifted this game on Steam last year from a friend of mine during Christmas and seeing it not only it is getting a Switch release, but also a physical release from Fangamer makes me want to double dip on playing the game again.
And let me tell you, this gave me absolute chills when playing it for the first time in the best way possible!
I cant understand what this game is about!
Literally reading this article as I stand over the sink, mouth washing. If the game is giving people chills, it goes on my list!
Will be checking this out; I have no idea what it’s about.
Not the masterpiece its outstanding reputation makes it out to be, but it's worth your time.
I guess I'll have to double dip.
When I dip you dip we dip.
@Olliemar28 ah of course, another mature response from the admins when faced with genuine and fair criticism. Such is the NintendoLife way.
The game is a little overrated, but it's still an interesting walking simulator. It would be better if it was shorter.
