Mouthwashing Set for Nintendo Switch Release Following 500K Steam Sales Milestone

Mouthwashing, the acclaimed indie horror title developed and published by Critical Reflex, is officially heading to the Nintendo Switch later this year.

The highly-anticipated Switch port was announced soon after the publisher reported a major sales milestone of over 500,000 copies sold on Steam.

This marks an important moment not only for Critical Reflex but also for fans of narrative-driven horror looking to enjoy Mouthwashing on the go. Since its initial release, Mouthwashing has garnered widespread attention for its inventive storytelling, retro-inspired visuals, and unsettling psychological horror.

The game achieved instant cult status with the community and received notable accolades, winning both Best Narrative and the Players’ Choice awards at the recent Horror Game Awards.

These honors cemented its reputation as one of the standout horror experiences of the year. In a statement celebrating their sales milestone, Critical Reflex underscored their excitement for expanding Mouthwashing's audience.

While the exact Switch release date is still pending, the publisher assured fans that they would reveal more details soon.

Physical editions of Mouthwashing will also be available exclusively through Fangamer.

Although pre-orders for the physical version have not yet opened, interested players can register to receive notifications as soon as they become available. Mouthwashing plunges players into a tense, atmospheric scenario aboard a doomed ship, where the crew faces dwindling resources and psychological stress.

The official game description highlights the story’s grim tone: players must endure isolation and rationing, with no hope of rescue before power and food run out.

The game is acclaimed for its immersive narrative design, requiring players to keenly observe their environment, and its distinctive PS1-era visual style further enhances the claustrophobic, surreal atmosphere. In summary, Mouthwashing’s upcoming Nintendo Switch release represents a new chapter for the title and its growing fanbase.

With its demonstrated success on Steam and successful recognition at industry award shows, the game is poised to reach even more players through the flexible hardware of the Nintendo Switch and the eShop.

More details, including the official release date, are expected from Critical Reflex in the near future. For fans eager to secure a physical copy or revisit the horror classic on a new platform, keeping an eye on Fangamer and Critical Reflex’s official channels is recommended.

Stay tuned for further updates as the Switch launch approaches.
