Mouthwashing Brings Classic PS1-Style Horror to Consoles in 2025
Retro-inspired horror fans have something eerie to look forward to as Mouthwashing, prepares to make its way to consoles later this year (presently available on Steam). Drawing inspiration from the low-poly aesthetic of PS1-era survival horror classics, this unsettling title delivers an experience reminiscent of Silent Hill and Resident Evil while introducing its own unique, disturbing narrative.
Developed by indie studio Tooth & Claw, Mouthwashing immerses players in a deeply psychological nightmare where reality twists and shifts unpredictably. The game’s grainy textures, limited lighting, and deliberately awkward controls contribute to the nostalgic yet oppressive atmosphere, transporting players back to the golden age of survival horror.
The story follows a protagonist who finds themselves trapped in an eerie, decayed environment, with cryptic messages and grotesque imagery hinting at a sinister backstory. Players will need to solve puzzles, manage limited resources, and evade terrifying entities while uncovering the dark truths hidden within the game’s surreal world.
The recent surge in low-poly horror titles has proven that classic aesthetics still have a powerful hold on modern gamers. With its unsettling visual style and psychological depth, Mouthwashing looks poised to join the ranks of other successful retro-inspired horror games that have captivated players in recent years.
Tooth & Claw has confirmed that Mouthwashing will be released on multiple platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, ensuring a broad audience can experience its unsettling horrors. Expect more details on a firm release date as we get closer to launch.
For fans of old-school survival horror or those simply looking for an unnerving experience, Mouthwashing is shaping up to be a must-play in 2025.
