There are strange games, and then there are games that ask you to navigate your quotidian existence by deciding whether to brush your teeth or to dream, so you can crawl into your own mouth to explore ten surreal worlds within. Yeah, that’s MOUTHOLE.
An utterly bizarre adventure, MOUTHOLE, has launched today. This unique title from developer Anything Nose Productions and the purveyors of the peculiar, publisher Sometimes You, is now available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch for £8.39.
Prepare to solve puzzles, unravel mysteries, and keep an eye on the time to ensure you make the most of your week in a game that we’ve already had the pleasure of calling “strange, different, and utterly crazy.”
Your Mundane (and Not-So-Mundane) Life
The core of MOUTHOLE is a week in the psychospherical house of your character. You have a limited amount of time, and you must decide what to spend it on. You can work on your fitness, surf the web, invest in a surprisingly realistic stock market, or try to keep your life together.
You’ll also get to know a small cast of characters and can alter their lives with your actions.
Alternatively, you can choose to dream, which will allow you to delve deeper into the mysteries that lie inside… your MOUTH. Here, you will uncover the cavernous avenues that lie dormant within, accessing 10 surreal and distinct worlds.
You’ll need to solve puzzles, discover strange new pathways, and occasionally run for your life as your HOUSE unfolds itself and your gums begin to change.
A Strange, Different, and Highly Memorable Farewell
We’ve already had a poke around inside this particular MOUTHOLE, and we came away impressed by its sheer audacity. In our 3.5/5 review of MOUTHOLE, we said:
“MOUTHOLE is strange, different, utterly crazy, but highly memorable.“
Sadly, this memorable experience also serves as a farewell. The talented and envelope-pushing developer, Anything Nose Productions, has ceased operations and is no longer making games. This makes MOUTHOLE their final, brilliant, and bizarre contribution to the gaming world.
Please note – MOUTHOLE on Xbox does not support Xbox Play Anywhere.
