Mouthwashing
Play it on: Steam
Current goal: Make it hurt
If you want to play something that will spark some great Thanksgiving dinner conversations, Mouthwashing is an excellent primer for the anticapitalist rhetoric you’ll use to shut down your conservative family members around the table. Wrong Organ’s psychological horror game starts off with a bunch of workers finding out they’re being screwed over by their corporate overlords. Then it escalates to the most extreme, horrific endgame possible between five resentful people stranded in a spaceship. I finished the game this morning and I’m still peeling away the layers in my mind. Luckily, I’m not going home for Thanksgiving this year, so I can unpack all of that without being back in the Bible Belt. — Kenneth Shepard
