Abstract

The article discusses the video game "Mouthwashing," a first-person retro-horror game with a nonlinear story that unfolds on a cargo spaceship called Tulpar. Players experience the narrative from the perspectives of Captain Curly and vice-captain Jimmy, uncovering the reasons behind the ship's downfall. The game focuses on creating unease and suspense through its storytelling rather than relying on jump scares or violent encounters. As players delve deeper into the story, they realize that the true antagonist is the character they control, Jimmy, leading to a climactic revelation at the end. [Extracted from the article]
