Basically, if you like weird, you will love this one.
Developed by Anything Nose Productions, MOUTHOLE will task players with keeping an eye on the time as they solve puzzles, unravel mysteries, and forge convoluted paths of discovery and exploration.
“Find whatever comfort you can in your HOUSE, deciding what you want to spend your limited time on and which threads you want to pull,” the official Steam synopsis reads.
“Work on your fitness, surf the web, invest in the stock market, scrub up and keep your life together - or dream to delve deeper into the mysteries inside your MOUTH. Get to know a small cast of characters; alter their lives with your actions. Play your way and find out how your story ends.”
Weird, I told you.
As you “slurp up the ambience”, you will also need to solve puzzles and unlock strange new pathways as you run for your life across 10 surreal and distinct worlds.
However, as your house unfolds itself, you will need to watch out for obstacles and always be ready to transform yourself.
Featuring 11 endings, 1000+ lines of dialogue, “45 minutes of tooth-shattering music”, and a revolutionary hat system, MOUTHOLE is guaranteed to stay with you long after the credits have rolled.
If this sounds like your kind of thing and you happen to be a PC gamer, then you are in luck as MOUTHOLE is free to download on Steam right now, although it comes with the caveat that developer Anything Nose has unfortunately had to close, with the game soon to be taken off Steam forever.
With the game sitting at a ‘very positive’ rating on the Valve storefront, it seems as though this is definitely a game you will need to try out for yourself, especially as it'll remain yours after it's taken off the store.
It's a lovely way to show the devs your support during what I'm sure is a very difficult time.
