The most recent game from the developers mentioned above is Mouthwashing. The psychological horror experience has gone viral over the last few months since it released in September. The Steam page describes it as follows:
Mouthwashing is a first-person horror game following the dying crew of a shipwrecked space freighter.
Who could have known what good ol’ Captain Curly was capable of? Guess he thought his crew dying alongside him was only right. But some men can’t even kill themselves properly. Maimed, limbless and unable to speak, but alive, Curly is now at the mercy of the crew he has doomed to a slow death.
Follow the lives of the crew as they weather starvation, isolation, and each other. People were never your strong suit anyway.
The ship will run out of power within six months. Food rations long before that.
Pay attention to your surroundings.
Your eyes are lying.
Hope to die, or for goodness sake, pray that everyone else did.
