MOUTHWASHING: Why I HATE CURLY (and why you are wrong).
238Welcome Cultists!
In this video we explore the dark and intriguing world of Mouthwashing, one of the most talked about indie horror games of the moment, available on Steam and nominated for the prestigious Steam Awards. In this video I take a detailed look at the controversial character of Curly, the captain whose naivety has sparked endless debates in the indie community. Why did Curly ignore the signals about Jimmy? Why did he abandon Anya in her time of need? In my opinion Curly is not just ‘an innocent boy’, but a central figure in the ship's disaster.
Mouthwashing is not just an indie horror video game: it is an experience that mixes psychological tension, innovation and a narrative rich in symbolism. I will also talk about the role of Anya, often forgotten despite her emotional impact, and how the game silently condemns Curly's choices.
Steam's indie title has won over indie game fans, but one question remains: is Curly really innocent?
Video games like this deserve to be discussed, analysed and, above all, played.
