SPOILER warning: - Curly laughs when Jimmy takes the gun because before the crash, he believed that Jimmy was a good guy and friend, despite s*xually assaulting Anya. Anya hid the gun from Jimmy. But seeing Jimmy take the gun and proving him wrong, Curly is laughing because he lost it. - 1:51:44 She confessed to Jimmy she was pregnant with his child from the assault, only Curly knew until that point. That was why Curly tried to console Jimmy. Jimmy knows that if they land, he will be screwed. So, he crashed the ship. - Swansea was saving the pod for Daisuke (2:09:00), since he was the youngest and had a future if he escaped. That is why Anya said “…if it has to be this way” in that conversation she was having with him before Jimmy interrupted. - She also told Swansea what Jimmy did to her, so Swansea lost it after Daisuke died and wanted to avenge her. That was what the shoot-out was. Even then, there was the possibility that Swansea wasn't even trying to kill Jimmy, since we see that he was tied to the chair and shot dead by Jimmy. Remember, we are seeing from Jimmy's perspective, and like Smiii7y said, from his perspective it is hard to see him as a villain at first. - Anya was nauseous, giving Curly the painkillers because the act of forcing medicine down his throat reminded her of Jimmy forcing himself on Anya - The ultrasound part was him showing regret for the baby he created. Note that he has an event for Daisuke's death (no turning back scene), Swansea (the cemetery), Curly and the baby. But not for Anya. He was always disrespectful and never regretted what he did to her. - 1:18:09, She was counting down the months left till she goes into labour. Also, she asked about why there are no locks for the sleeping quarters but in the medical room. At this point, you can guess why she asked that.
I read this about halfway through the video and it changed the perspective immediately. Everything made more sense to that point and I'm even catching on to Jimmy being manipulative to the crew. Still not getting the point of the horse as of yet. At just before Jimmy is about to "knock out" swansea
2:34:00 Actually, this is quite an interesting perspective cause it really reflects a lot about how Jimmy views himself as well. As a player, you cant digest that the character you play as isnt the hero of the story, or at least is the cause of everything bad that happens. Jimmy doesn’t recognise that hes the cause, whether he truly believes it or is in denial about it. He doesnt think what he did to Anya was wrong, he doesnt think crashing the ship because he knew Anya would tell everyone what he did was wrong. And you as the player isnt privy to this information or cant make sense of the situation because how vague they intentionally make it, puts the blame on Curly instead, or point fingers to Swansea for ending Daisuke, or lash out at Anya because he has to do everything on the ship. Because you as the main character, as the ‘captain’ can never be wrong, right? This game really does have a lot of layers, a lot of things that you really need to think about and thats why i love how disconnected and chaotic, yet emotionally distressing this game is. Glad you put your thoughts at the end :)
This is true art. Curating the feelings of the character into the player. Spec Ops: The Line does this as well from naming the player as a special guest, to directly calling out the player for their actions in loading screens. Mouthwashing went with show and dont tell though and it's awesome for that. Both games make you walk the villains shoes. I like to think any of the player's commentary is the character's humanity obviously leaving and you are both simultaneously doing mental gymnastics to justify your actions. Alot of games try and cant really pull it off.
This game is also a great example of what an unreliable narrator can do for your story. Without going too deep into it, having the protagonist withholding information from the observer just lets you do so much and play with expectations in such cool ways.
If you pay attention hours before the judgment, you’ll see that Swansea never chases Jimmy with the axe. He just sits down at the table, and then Jimmy comes to shoot him. It’s all in Jimmy’s head as he stands in the medbay, trying to justify what he’s about to do.
the fact that when you see anya's body and shes holding her stomach could mean two things, a, the chest pain that comes with a paracetamol (aceatemetaphen) overdose, or b, the much sadder one, shes pregnant and she knows killing herself will also cause the baby to die. ): also, a smaller thing, the fact that her bed was next to the motion sensing pony statue, to make sure no one did anything to her while she was asleep. very messed up ):: anya deserved better man, i hate jimmy. thank you for playing this game had a great time watching this play through.
AU when talking about space means Astronomical Units, 1AU is the distance between the Earth and the Sun. It was hilarious hearing smitty say “that’s gold right? I think AU is gold in the table of elements, I’M A GENIUS”
Curly was destined for greater Daisuke had a bright future being the youngest Anya was a genius nurse who managed to keep curly alive despite limited materials. She would've eventually passed her exam. Swansea had kids and a family to take care of. Jimmy had nothing. So he made sure no one else did either.
@@LIONGOD he was no boyfriend of hers, he forced himself upon her, that's why she was afraid of him, and why she was asking about the locks, and it's also why he crashed the ship, because once it lands he was screwed.
@@LIONGODi dont think you have truly understood the game if you think abusing someone and them getting pregnant will get him a "girlfriend" or at the very least you have severely misunderstood Anya as a character
I really recommend that you watch or read about the characters and plot, especially to better understand what Jimmy did to Anya and why he crashed the ship. It’s a great game and I’m glad you played it! You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs!
Honestly Smitty is one of the few youtubers I trust to be media literate enough to understand this game which makes me really happy that he added that segment at the end of the vid.
swansea's speech, made me rethink EVERYTHING about my life the first time i played mouthwashing. now watching it again has had the same effect, hands down my favorite character. rest in peace old man
2:18:03 Ultrasound => Checking the Womb => See a Horse Earlier on his Psych Eval, Jimmy wrote "attracted to cartoon horses" He doesn't see Anya as a Human Being, he sees her as a Horse, hence the 'Horse inside of a Womb" Metaphor You're basically looking at your child @ 2:18:03
And on another layer, the horse is a symbol for the company he’s working for that could mess up his life at any time should Anya or any other crew mates let slip what he did. He’s “attracted to cartoon horses” in the same way he’s attracted to Anya/any other woman: power. He hates that the company has so much power he doesn’t and never will have, he hates that Anya has the power of information and sympathy and is smarter than him. It’s the same and why he struggles to put a confident yes on the psych eval-is it really attraction to cartoon horses, or the attraction to the power it would give him to be able to fck over the company mascot? (Also: Anya sleeps next to a statue of Polle instead of in the sleeping quarters. This statue is motion activated and would be able to tell her if jimmy was coming near her while she slept. Messed UP)
Can you imagine this from Curly’s POV. (Spoiler warning if you haven’t finished the video) Your best friend SA’s a member of your crew, and when you ask him about it, he crashes the entire ship. You are horribly disfigured in the crash, and madness sets into your crew. You watch one crew member overdose on painkillers, one get mauled in a vent (and, assuming Curly could see down the hallway, an axe rammed into his face), and then your best friend comes into your room to set you on a table in front of the corpses of all your other friends, and proceeds to EAT YOUR FUCKING LEG. THEN he has the audacity to look you in the eyes and say “It’s okay. *I fixed it”* knowing full well he wasn’t talking about the crash, at least not fully. And the final thing you see before being frozen for 20 years, unable to speak or scream, is the flash of a gunshot as yet another friend dies. Insanity.
One thing though is that Curly knew Anya was SA-ed before she became pregnant then she told him about that too after telling Jimmy he was the father. When he asked who's the father, Anya said he knew. (Watching the game in chronological order really made everything make sense.) The thing is though, he wanted to prioritise the crew as a whole and was stretched thin trying to keep the crew together. That was his flaw, he was too much of a people-pleaser. He had all the authority and power yet did nothing when a vulnerable crew member got violated and instead "smoothed" things over between the two because he "knew" who Jimmy was and was basically close with him. He may be a victim but he was NOT innocent. He simply reaped the consequences of being a bystander to his friend's sins and in turn becoming the next victim to his beloved friend, Jimmy.
@@allingquilatonestacion4353 You are ignoring the fact that Curly thought Anya as a friend too. I think in his mind the SA was something that can be ignored before because he had bigger worry aka they are all gonna be fired. Yes getting SAd is bad, but imagine in their universe is more or less lethal company like, life has no value, so them getting fired would be the end of their lives. So as he is worrying over it, he was hit with the information of her pregnancy which hit him like a truck, you could see it in him. He isnt a victim, he isnt innocent, hes a saint. If you think otherwise you are Jimmy not like the SA way but the narcissistic way. Jimmy thought before the crash that he was better than Jimmy yet Curly is the captain, after the events of crash he believed he may not be better but he can ofcourse replace Curly. After everything killing everyone and putting him in a pod in a state where one would rather be dead, he said than Curly was better than him but he never said he himself was a bad person, he technically implies that he is still a person, Curly is just better than him. He is such a sht person that Swansea said to take the pod and say whatever he wanted as the story implying report after he got rescued from the pod. He meant that he is such a sht person he thought Swansea was keeping the pod for himself(this is a double retort to the player as they also judged Swansea by his looks, age and speech) in actuality he kept the pod for daisuke as he was the only one who would have profited most if he had survived. Jimmy sending him through the vents made Swansea lose his sht and then proceeding to keep the barely alive Daisuke alive a fate worse than death, something he is also doing with curly. Swansea cant see Jimmy going through that so he manned up and TOOK RESPONSIBILITY by killing him, he didnt have to be the good person, he just wanted the best for daisuke. None of which even in same situation Jimmy did, and even at the end where he should have killed Curly and taken the pod and accepting his sins and reporting the truth after being rescued, he put Curly in it as if he was doing him a favor by being a better person and giving him the pod, and then killed himself again escaping from his responsibilities. He was piece of sht and a coward even in death.
Something you learn when it comes to grooming (don’t worry this is relevant) is that they can be very hard to detect, even if they’re your friend and you know them well; they precisely play off your friendship to make you assume they aren’t really that bad. In fact befriending people is step one of their manipulation tactics, and they’re patient enough to work slowly over time to where you can’t detect it. This is effectively how Jimmy could get outed as an assaulter and a nut job and Curly doesn’t do much about it.
@@imtiaze642 But that is the main problem with Curly he did nothing when he found out instead of dealing with the issue in any concrete way. Opting instead to comfort her abuser and belittling her perspective, turning it into something unimportant to the point HE FORGOT WHAT SHE TOLD HIM. Even if the company would punish them for taking official actions he could have done so much off the record he IS the captain. Like scheduling the crew so Jimmy isn't alone with Anya, Giving Anya a lock to her room or setting her up to sleep in med bay, Convince Daisuke and Swansea to help him lock up Jimmy, etc. etc. etc. there was so much Curly could have done but he didn't. To put it in the games own words, he would rather ignore the dead pixel, believing in the false illusion on the screen instead of taking responsibility and fixing the screen. Just because he has good morals doesn't make his action morally good. He is not a saint FAR from it
Very cool to see Smitys thoughts at the end. This is absolutely a game that needs a second to digest and go over in your head and was very happy to hear your thoughts on it after you processed everything.
Omg I love this channel he’s made. This feels like the real side of him. The real side that compliments his other personality. This is beautiful. This channel feels like a new step him his life.
something about Smitty as a creator and his personality makes him playing these kinds of games and stuff like the Beginner's Guide so insanely enjoyable, and i can't wait for him to find more. not to mention I've already watched a playthrough of this, but i couldn't help to watch it again anyway. (it's actually quite enjoyable knowing what happens as i can understand precisely what's beyond each of the actions now, and it all makes even more sense)
Absolutely loved how you handled and approached this game. I'd been avoiding it because I had been spoiled on the themes and have been afraid of seeing people's raw approaches to it and possibly missing the entire point, but I decided to watch your playthrough because I love your content, and I really was not disappointed. I think you did great and I'm glad you included your thoughts after days of processing them.
I think there’s something with how Jimmy sees women as less than human, because the horse theme kept coming up - the psych eval, the baby in the ultrasound, and the final conversation before the end of the game. Idk how to explain it, but I feel like there’s something more there symbolically
There definitely is!!! I need to read more of the creator’s notes on it but there are aspects to this that make it more about Jimmy’s superiority complex than his actual attractions towards women or fictional horses. For one, he’s working at a company where the logo is a horse and which is the only face we see for the pony express-he’s afraid of the pony express and higher ups and everyone that has power completely outside of his reach, but we never see anyone past his own status (Curly; co-pilot) and so every bit of fear he feels from not being top dog is because of this power imbalance and facelessness. He wants to fck over the company before it can ruin him, but has no idea how. He takes it out on Anya, who’s (in his eyes) a significantly inferior crew member that assuages that feeling of being helpless because it puts him in power for a moment (ugh). Anya starts sleeping outside of the sleeping quarters, in the common area where there’s a motion activated statue of Polle which could tell her if Jimmy was trying to approach her at night, and at some point Jimmy broke it between Anya dying and Swansea dying His complex only affects him enough to make him wary of other men (Swansea) and the faceless company and the faceless baby that he’s responsible for, and notice how in each event scene he’s only being chased when the antagonist is silent? Anya’s power is in her words, as is the company’s, and we never see a conflict with them directly until Jimmy imagines the fetus. With Swansea, he equally pursues and is almost hunting Swansea instead of the other way around, but with Curly…curly is quiet. Just a judgmental eye forcing him to think about his actions again and again but nothing is said. We don’t hear a word out of him except out of Jimmy’s own demented head, and the company and the baby are never directly heard from either-except for the motivational posters of Polle. The baby is where Pony Express and Anya both intersect and HE’S the one being chased, the silence maddening him more than words could. The only thing he’s truly attracted to is power over others. And the only thing he’s truly afraid of is the power his responsibilities have over him, making him physically back away because he’s so averse to it. Sorry this is a whole essay btw omg
I almost feel like it’s trying to say Jimmy considers the baby to be the Tulpar’s child instead of his… like he only did such horrible things because he’s a “victim of circumstance.” Which is why he can’t picture the fetus as human… because then he would have to admit to himself that he made it.
@ Oh god like a “any guy would’ve done the same in my situation” type thing as if it’s the pony express’ fault he did it just because they put a woman on board with him. Jimmy 😭😭😭
These are both great points, and there definitely is a huge focus on his complexes and lack of taking responsibility for any of his actions. But I still think there's an aspect to do with how there's only two female coded characters in this game; Anya and Polle the Pony Express mascot. It feels like there's something there with how Anya used the Polle statue as a motion alarm, but it ends up being broken or disabled by Jimmy. It's kind of an opposite to Curly, someone who should have helped her and had the power to do something, but didn't. Polle wasn't able to physically help Anya, but would have been able to warn her. That feels significant, like how women will warn each other about creepy men. But Jimmy broke that connection between the female coded characters
I really appreciate the reflection at the end of the vid. Not many people who played the game even brought it up. But especially for this game thanks for that :) Edit: I will say though, Curly is also at fault. There are many deep dive videos that go into the same point, but Anya told him what Jimmy did, and Curly didn't confront Jimmy about it because he's his friend. Curly's a people pleaser type of person, wanting everyone to be happy. He ignored the red flags. And poetically, after the crash he's forced to watch as the consequences of his inaction unfolds, bedbound and not able to do anything, even if he wanted to. His inaction lead him to be forced into more inaction yknow? But man this game, its just so well made.
Some trivia: Daisuke in Japanese means _Big Helper_ Swans(sea) are very protective with their offspring, but will kill them if they are not able to leave the nest aka not fit to survive the world
Smitty (and anyone else) if you liked mouthwashing I BEG you to play SIGNALIS, the story and lore are so amazing, the story is gut wrenching and beautiful, the soundtrack is phenomenal and it’s got similar graphics if that’s what you’re into. Also just a little spooky (If Smitty plays it I’ll buy merch 🙂)
i watched manlybadasshero play it aaaages ago but my attention span couldnt pay attention (i dont even remember if i made it past the first video part). i love gut wrenching games and feeling miserable, thank you for convincing me to get back to it ahaha
Just watched the whole video Smitty; Jimmy sexually abused Anya (implied from conversations) and intentionally crashed the ship as a failed murder-suicide attempt because due to the impending layoffs, he was going to have to bear responsibility for the kid. This has also lead to Anya breaking down, ultimately leading to her overdosing. While attempting to save Anya, Daisuke was injured in the process, and his wound became infected when Jimmy tried to use the mouthwash as an impromptu antiseptic. Swansea was guarding the cryogenic pod for Daisuke, but the infection led to Swansea euthanizing Daisuke. Also, before Swansea's execution, he was condemning Jimmy for his cowardice and selfishness in his last moments, and everything that you saw that was "unreal" was his hallucinations, but he ultimately led Curly into a cryogenic pod because this was his attempt to "fix the situation."
im really glad you fully mentioned and atleast slightly understood what happened to anya, a lot of content creators dont really touch on it, so thank u :D loved the playthrough
For context (spoilers) Jimmy SA’d Anya and got her pregnant, but when he found out he got her pregnant he decided he didn’t want to deal with it and crashed the ship instead. Swansea was trying to protect Anya, and (in my opinion) was saving the cryo pod for her (could’ve been for Daisuke though). In the end he decided to “take responsibility” by saving Curly and taking the easy way out. All around a fantastically written game.
58:42 I’m probably wrong but I believe Swansea was telling Anya here that he’d like to save the cryo pod for daisuke Out of all of them Daisuke seems to have the most promising life if he was saved after being put in the cryo pod
@@kageoriithat’s fair, I like that the devs left it up for interpretation. My only thought would be Swansea may want to save Anya due to her being pregnant, but I 100% could see either being true (although based on his dialogue about Daisuke later on I’m torn lol)
Also at the beginning/in the flashbacks Jimmy is near the cockpit on the way from utility, probably just coming back from trying to find the axe and the gun. This is probably the moment he realized Anya had hidden the gun and Swansea had taken the axe and he couldn’t kill Anya in a straightforward way because of it, and he instead had to crash the whole ship to get himself out of taking responsibility for everything
pod was def for daisuke thats why Anya said “…if it has to be this way” in that conversation she was having with swansea before jimbothy interrupted. Daisuke was the youngest and the one with the most hope for the future
im really glad you gave some perspective at the end, i was waiting for you to make connections about things (specifically the anya stuff) and knowing you took time to process things really makes glad. I told myself i would finally watch a playthrough of this game if you played it and im glad you went about this pretty respectfully.
I really enjoyed having the introspective at the end because yeah this game DEFINITELY deserves it. Also yeah I think it'd be cool to see more games like this on the channel!
YES IT’S FINALLY HERE!!! 🙏😩 time to watch edit: just finished, i appreciate the after-playthrough thoughts at the end! and his reactions to certain parts were so raw it was fun to watch, especially 1:46:03 😭 thanks for playing this fantastic game!
Hey smii7y I want to thank you because I’m at the lowest I’ve been in my mental health for a while and I want to thank you for making the only videos that have made me laugh in a long time. So truly thank you and keep up the good work.❤❤❤
Hey potato dude. You’re not alone, ok? I know what it’s like to be in your shoes and I’m really glad you stick around to spend time with us. Take care of yourself. You deserve it. Sending all the love to ya ❤❤❤❤
honestly, I loved seeing Smii7y play (get it) this. This was honestly an incredible experience and smii7y's voices for the characters made it so much better. I would LOVE if you kept doing different characters and doing more games like this. PLEASE keep playing games like these. Seeing your perspective of these games enhances it so much.
YESSSSS I love this game!!! I am so glad you are playing this! I have been begging some of my friends to watch someone play it. I am gonna watch this then send it to them. Sorry for my excitement y'all, I just whisper yelled "Oooohhhh!! YESSSSS!!!" Edit- I have just been sitting and typing- I am SO excited to watch him play this traumatic asf game. This honestly messed me up for a good day or 2- worth it. I am so excited that i can't watch it cause I don't want it to be over, you know? Im rambling, let me watch this and bake and hang with my dog Edit(post watch) - I liked that he took the time to process and talk about the themes in this game. It really bring this playthough to another level. That really is appreciated, Smitty (I'm gonna say it, even if you dont see it)
The thing I love about Smii7y playing walkthroughs is that he always lets the credits roll and credits the developers. That’s huge respect from me, Smii7y. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Oh my god. This was *not* what I was expecting from the dev(s) of ‘How Fish Is Made’ but I am pleasantly - or, well, more horrified but in a positive way? Idk if that makes sense - surprised. I may not be able to 100% understand all the in-depth layers this game contains (thank you commenters with your magnificent brains for explaining things, y’all are amazing) but I can appreciate the effort, the thought and the brilliance it took to put this game together. It might be one of my favourites now, both as a game in general and on this channel
"Road 96" is a pretty cool game. You are a hitchhiker trying to flee the country and you get dropped in on all kinds of scenarios that happen on your route. from a music festival to a robbery you are forced into, a ride from a murders taxi driver or in the back of a limo with an out of control celebrity. And your actions effect your ultimate ending. there are like 30-35 different scenarios to play. I would love to see you handle yourself through them and i'm sure others will love to as well ;)
I love this channel, its such a sharp departure from the main channels, and I love that! It's really nice to get to hear you experience and talk about your thoughts on games, hearing your passion for gaming is so awesome
I dont normally comment but, with Smi77ys new channel, ive never felt such raw connection and understanding from the content as well as from the content creator, thank you for letting us go on this journey with you, truly a work of art.
For sure not a game for me, but i can see how many people would love this game Hope everyone who's playing this enjoyed it What a spectacle of story telling. Enjoyed the video Smitty, you're funny af And you have been killing it with this new channel Keep it up !
Really do appreciate your ending summary. it a game that requires a lot of after thought to process the metaphors and what actually just happened. Don't need it for every game but it was well deserved for this one and a great wrap up to the video. Love this new channel Smii7ty, Keep it up!
I love when smii7y plays games on smii7yplays because he plays games and we get to see them by smii7y's perspective for which he then posts on smii7yplays because its a channel where smii7y plays games
Still Wakes The Deep is a long game like this but the graphics are absolutely gorgeous, there's amazing voice acting, and great storytelling. It doesn’t take place in space, instead its set on an oil rig in the north sea. If you could try it out, that would be awesome.
1:20:25 IM CRYING !!!SPOILER!,!,! I JUST REALISED CUZ IM WATCHING THIS FOR THE 2NDTIME THAT she meant “far from it” as when jimmy was the rat bag he was and sa her was her “worse” moment 😢
YEAHHHH!!!!! edit: just finished watching, and for one, i've never heard this man be more devastated through my (albeit short) time following his channels. second, AU refers to Astronomical Units when referring to distance in space, specifically within our solar system, beyond that distance is light years. third, the themes of this game, once you get deeper and deeper into its symbolism is so dark and focuses on so many heavy topics, i love it and I absolutely adored watching this!
this is a absolutely beautiful play through, i think the fact that you couldn’t really believe what jimmy had done really cemented how horrible it was and the slow realization made it hit a lot deeper. Please do more games like this smii7y, this was an absolutely beautiful game and I loved your play through.
I'm glad you took some time to think about & come back to share your thoughts. I've watched 2 other people play and they didn't seem to understand what was going on with Anya. "I hid the gun so he can't get it." "Why is there a lock on the med bay door but not the crew quarters?" The curled up position she's in when talking to Curly. "I don't want him coming in here anymore." And then the ship crashes and he's in her space every damn day to check on Curly. But JIMMY felt trapped? I'm infuriated by Jimmy. All this to say, I'm really glad you played this. I've been looking forward to it since you mentioned it. I'd also like to back up the people suggesting Inscryption. I think you'd really like it. It's not scary. I'd describe it as unsettling if anything.
im glad you took the time to play this game as its fanbase was getting more popular (me included) and seeing this game for the first time even if its through a playthrough, really made me feel something in a way i can't describe and I just want to thank you for making this video
I for one loved it. this longform content of yours reminds me of the olden days of letsplays bringing along viewers for the whole experience of the game. if 'weird' / spooky was the vibe you were going for on this channel, i'm really glad you came around to picking up mouthwash. it seemed like an appropriate choice.

"My voice is a little horse"
What a fitting choice of words.
Also he's right about 5:27, he sounds cool af 😂
guys I think he might be the equestrian animal
1:47:53 Also, he have been calling Daisuke 'Die' the entire time.
Talk about foreshadowing.
@@InnocentC0 2 for 2 on a poor choice of words. That's crazy.
SPOILER warning:
- Curly laughs when Jimmy takes the gun because before the crash, he believed that Jimmy was a good guy and friend, despite s*xually assaulting Anya. Anya hid the gun from Jimmy. But seeing Jimmy take the gun and proving him wrong, Curly is laughing because he lost it.
- 1:51:44 She confessed to Jimmy she was pregnant with his child from the assault, only Curly knew until that point. That was why Curly tried to console Jimmy. Jimmy knows that if they land, he will be screwed. So, he crashed the ship.
- Swansea was saving the pod for Daisuke (2:09:00), since he was the youngest and had a future if he escaped. That is why Anya said “…if it has to be this way” in that conversation she was having with him before Jimmy interrupted.
- She also told Swansea what Jimmy did to her, so Swansea lost it after Daisuke died and wanted to avenge her. That was what the shoot-out was. Even then, there was the possibility that Swansea wasn't even trying to kill Jimmy, since we see that he was tied to the chair and shot dead by Jimmy. Remember, we are seeing from Jimmy's perspective, and like Smiii7y said, from his perspective it is hard to see him as a villain at first.
- Anya was nauseous, giving Curly the painkillers because the act of forcing medicine down his throat reminded her of Jimmy forcing himself on Anya
- The ultrasound part was him showing regret for the baby he created. Note that he has an event for Daisuke's death (no turning back scene), Swansea (the cemetery), Curly and the baby. But not for Anya. He was always disrespectful and never regretted what he did to her.
- 1:18:09, She was counting down the months left till she goes into labour. Also, she asked about why there are no locks for the sleeping quarters but in the medical room. At this point, you can guess why she asked that.
damn..
I read this about halfway through the video and it changed the perspective immediately. Everything made more sense to that point and I'm even catching on to Jimmy being manipulative to the crew. Still not getting the point of the horse as of yet. At just before Jimmy is about to "knock out" swansea
K but wth is the horse
@@lotehk Pony express' mascot. He went crazy ig.
@@TheDaytun13 My apologies, I should have placed a spoiler warning.
2:34:00 Actually, this is quite an interesting perspective cause it really reflects a lot about how Jimmy views himself as well. As a player, you cant digest that the character you play as isnt the hero of the story, or at least is the cause of everything bad that happens. Jimmy doesn’t recognise that hes the cause, whether he truly believes it or is in denial about it. He doesnt think what he did to Anya was wrong, he doesnt think crashing the ship because he knew Anya would tell everyone what he did was wrong. And you as the player isnt privy to this information or cant make sense of the situation because how vague they intentionally make it, puts the blame on Curly instead, or point fingers to Swansea for ending Daisuke, or lash out at Anya because he has to do everything on the ship. Because you as the main character, as the ‘captain’ can never be wrong, right?
This game really does have a lot of layers, a lot of things that you really need to think about and thats why i love how disconnected and chaotic, yet emotionally distressing this game is. Glad you put your thoughts at the end :)
This is true art. Curating the feelings of the character into the player.
Spec Ops: The Line does this as well from naming the player as a special guest, to directly calling out the player for their actions in loading screens.
Mouthwashing went with show and dont tell though and it's awesome for that.
Both games make you walk the villains shoes. I like to think any of the player's commentary is the character's humanity obviously leaving and you are both simultaneously doing mental gymnastics to justify your actions.
Alot of games try and cant really pull it off.
This game is also a great example of what an unreliable narrator can do for your story. Without going too deep into it, having the protagonist withholding information from the observer just lets you do so much and play with expectations in such cool ways.
@@errorx_x1063makes me wonder, if smiii7y would play Spec Ops: The Line
If you pay attention hours before the judgment, you’ll see that Swansea never chases Jimmy with the axe. He just sits down at the table, and then Jimmy comes to shoot him. It’s all in Jimmy’s head as he stands in the medbay, trying to justify what he’s about to do.
the fact that when you see anya's body and shes holding her stomach could mean two things, a, the chest pain that comes with a paracetamol (aceatemetaphen) overdose, or b, the much sadder one, shes pregnant and she knows killing herself will also cause the baby to die. ):
also, a smaller thing, the fact that her bed was next to the motion sensing pony statue, to make sure no one did anything to her while she was asleep. very messed up )::
anya deserved better man, i hate jimmy. thank you for playing this game had a great time watching this play through.
omg i didnt realize that about her bed that's fucked up
That's a good storytelling for you! Im glad i finally watched the game.
AU when talking about space means Astronomical Units, 1AU is the distance between the Earth and the Sun. It was hilarious hearing smitty say “that’s gold right? I think AU is gold in the table of elements, I’M A GENIUS”
Dawg, I was thinking the same lol. I needed to check the comments to see if anyone else knew that it wasn't "Au" gold 😂
There's AU Astronomical Units and Au the symbol for gold on the periodic table

@@Ink4maybe not but it’s for comparison sake
Definitely one of the top games of the year!
Curly was destined for greater
Daisuke had a bright future being the youngest
Anya was a genius nurse who managed to keep curly alive despite limited materials. She would've eventually passed her exam.
Swansea had kids and a family to take care of.
Jimmy had nothing.
So he made sure no one else did either.
Damn
he could have had a kid, and a girlfriend... if he wasn't who he was, maybe that's the moral of the story... don't be like jimmy.
@@LIONGOD he was no boyfriend of hers, he forced himself upon her, that's why she was afraid of him, and why she was asking about the locks, and it's also why he crashed the ship, because once it lands he was screwed.
@@vinegar2290I think they mean that if jimmy wasn’t such a shit stain he could have had an actual girlfriend instead of doing what he did
@@LIONGODi dont think you have truly understood the game if you think abusing someone and them getting pregnant will get him a "girlfriend" or at the very least you have severely misunderstood Anya as a character
I just switched from a Smitty video to a new Smitty video. Life is good
literally me
Same
Life is very good when you smii7y binge
It's smii7y :(
It’s not Smii7y it’s Smii7yplays two different people
I really recommend that you watch or read about the characters and plot, especially to better understand what Jimmy did to Anya and why he crashed the ship. It’s a great game and I’m glad you played it! You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs!
Damn... that's a really sad plot...
I'm glad I followed your advice though.... Kinda confirmed what I mostly interpretted
Anya's story broke me
Honestly Smitty is one of the few youtubers I trust to be media literate enough to understand this game which makes me really happy that he added that segment at the end of the vid.
Sounds like he did with how he's talking about it in the end of the video
jimmy? you mean jingle balls?
You wasted your time typing this comment when he’s not gonna see it 🤦
swansea's speech, made me rethink EVERYTHING about my life the first time i played mouthwashing. now watching it again has had the same effect, hands down my favorite character. rest in peace old man
2:18:03 Ultrasound => Checking the Womb => See a Horse
Earlier on his Psych Eval, Jimmy wrote "attracted to cartoon horses"
He doesn't see Anya as a Human Being, he sees her as a Horse, hence the 'Horse inside of a Womb" Metaphor
You're basically looking at your child @ 2:18:03
And on another layer, the horse is a symbol for the company he’s working for that could mess up his life at any time should Anya or any other crew mates let slip what he did. He’s “attracted to cartoon horses” in the same way he’s attracted to Anya/any other woman: power. He hates that the company has so much power he doesn’t and never will have, he hates that Anya has the power of information and sympathy and is smarter than him. It’s the same and why he struggles to put a confident yes on the psych eval-is it really attraction to cartoon horses, or the attraction to the power it would give him to be able to fck over the company mascot?
(Also: Anya sleeps next to a statue of Polle instead of in the sleeping quarters. This statue is motion activated and would be able to tell her if jimmy was coming near her while she slept. Messed UP)

Can you imagine this from Curly’s POV. (Spoiler warning if you haven’t finished the video)
Your best friend SA’s a member of your crew, and when you ask him about it, he crashes the entire ship. You are horribly disfigured in the crash, and madness sets into your crew. You watch one crew member overdose on painkillers, one get mauled in a vent (and, assuming Curly could see down the hallway, an axe rammed into his face), and then your best friend comes into your room to set you on a table in front of the corpses of all your other friends, and proceeds to EAT YOUR FUCKING LEG. THEN he has the audacity to look you in the eyes and say “It’s okay. *I fixed it”* knowing full well he wasn’t talking about the crash, at least not fully. And the final thing you see before being frozen for 20 years, unable to speak or scream, is the flash of a gunshot as yet another friend dies. Insanity.
One can only imagine the millions of thoughts circulating through Curly's head
One thing though is that Curly knew Anya was SA-ed before she became pregnant then she told him about that too after telling Jimmy he was the father. When he asked who's the father, Anya said he knew. (Watching the game in chronological order really made everything make sense.)
The thing is though, he wanted to prioritise the crew as a whole and was stretched thin trying to keep the crew together. That was his flaw, he was too much of a people-pleaser. He had all the authority and power yet did nothing when a vulnerable crew member got violated and instead "smoothed" things over between the two because he "knew" who Jimmy was and was basically close with him.
He may be a victim but he was NOT innocent. He simply reaped the consequences of being a bystander to his friend's sins and in turn becoming the next victim to his beloved friend, Jimmy.
@@allingquilatonestacion4353 You are ignoring the fact that Curly thought Anya as a friend too. I think in his mind the SA was something that can be ignored before because he had bigger worry aka they are all gonna be fired. Yes getting SAd is bad, but imagine in their universe is more or less lethal company like, life has no value, so them getting fired would be the end of their lives. So as he is worrying over it, he was hit with the information of her pregnancy which hit him like a truck, you could see it in him.
He isnt a victim, he isnt innocent, hes a saint. If you think otherwise you are Jimmy not like the SA way but the narcissistic way. Jimmy thought before the crash that he was better than Jimmy yet Curly is the captain, after the events of crash he believed he may not be better but he can ofcourse replace Curly. After everything killing everyone and putting him in a pod in a state where one would rather be dead, he said than Curly was better than him but he never said he himself was a bad person, he technically implies that he is still a person, Curly is just better than him.
He is such a sht person that Swansea said to take the pod and say whatever he wanted as the story implying report after he got rescued from the pod. He meant that he is such a sht person he thought Swansea was keeping the pod for himself(this is a double retort to the player as they also judged Swansea by his looks, age and speech) in actuality he kept the pod for daisuke as he was the only one who would have profited most if he had survived. Jimmy sending him through the vents made Swansea lose his sht and then proceeding to keep the barely alive Daisuke alive a fate worse than death, something he is also doing with curly. Swansea cant see Jimmy going through that so he manned up and TOOK RESPONSIBILITY by killing him, he didnt have to be the good person, he just wanted the best for daisuke. None of which even in same situation Jimmy did, and even at the end where he should have killed Curly and taken the pod and accepting his sins and reporting the truth after being rescued, he put Curly in it as if he was doing him a favor by being a better person and giving him the pod, and then killed himself again escaping from his responsibilities. He was piece of sht and a coward even in death.
Something you learn when it comes to grooming (don’t worry this is relevant) is that they can be very hard to detect, even if they’re your friend and you know them well; they precisely play off your friendship to make you assume they aren’t really that bad. In fact befriending people is step one of their manipulation tactics, and they’re patient enough to work slowly over time to where you can’t detect it. This is effectively how Jimmy could get outed as an assaulter and a nut job and Curly doesn’t do much about it.
@@imtiaze642 But that is the main problem with Curly he did nothing when he found out instead of dealing with the issue in any concrete way. Opting instead to comfort her abuser and belittling her perspective, turning it into something unimportant to the point HE FORGOT WHAT SHE TOLD HIM. Even if the company would punish them for taking official actions he could have done so much off the record he IS the captain. Like scheduling the crew so Jimmy isn't alone with Anya, Giving Anya a lock to her room or setting her up to sleep in med bay, Convince Daisuke and Swansea to help him lock up Jimmy, etc. etc. etc. there was so much Curly could have done but he didn't. To put it in the games own words, he would rather ignore the dead pixel, believing in the false illusion on the screen instead of taking responsibility and fixing the screen. Just because he has good morals doesn't make his action morally good. He is not a saint FAR from it
Very cool to see Smitys thoughts at the end. This is absolutely a game that needs a second to digest and go over in your head and was very happy to hear your thoughts on it after you processed everything.
Omg I love this channel he’s made. This feels like the real side of him. The real side that compliments his other personality. This is beautiful. This channel feels like a new step him his life.
I love it for the same reason. Wish he keeps posting on both genres consistently, tho ofc burnout's more important
Currently yelling and screeching and jumping around of excitement... Can't wait to see Smitty traumatized part 1mil.
SAAAAME, how's it going? (I actually jumped and screeched and scared the hell out of my dog when I saw this)
@i_am_da_strange1568 That's hilarious because I scared my brother's daughter.. poor thing was constipated and got scared too 🌚
something about Smitty as a creator and his personality makes him playing these kinds of games and stuff like the Beginner's Guide so insanely enjoyable, and i can't wait for him to find more.
not to mention I've already watched a playthrough of this, but i couldn't help to watch it again anyway. (it's actually quite enjoyable knowing what happens as i can understand precisely what's beyond each of the actions now, and it all makes even more sense)
This is his like 5th channel his main has like 7 million subs its just "Smii7y" and "Smii7yplus" and "Smii7yminus" bro
Absolutely loved how you handled and approached this game. I'd been avoiding it because I had been spoiled on the themes and have been afraid of seeing people's raw approaches to it and possibly missing the entire point, but I decided to watch your playthrough because I love your content, and I really was not disappointed. I think you did great and I'm glad you included your thoughts after days of processing them.
You should definitely watch Pezzy play it. He’s definitely a girls girl
9:13 “you were GODdamn ᵇᵒʳⁿ fully corked”
Laughed when he said that
Loved the voice crack
HELL YEAH!!!!
I think there’s something with how Jimmy sees women as less than human, because the horse theme kept coming up - the psych eval, the baby in the ultrasound, and the final conversation before the end of the game. Idk how to explain it, but I feel like there’s something more there symbolically
There definitely is!!! I need to read more of the creator’s notes on it but there are aspects to this that make it more about Jimmy’s superiority complex than his actual attractions towards women or fictional horses. For one, he’s working at a company where the logo is a horse and which is the only face we see for the pony express-he’s afraid of the pony express and higher ups and everyone that has power completely outside of his reach, but we never see anyone past his own status (Curly; co-pilot) and so every bit of fear he feels from not being top dog is because of this power imbalance and facelessness. He wants to fck over the company before it can ruin him, but has no idea how. He takes it out on Anya, who’s (in his eyes) a significantly inferior crew member that assuages that feeling of being helpless because it puts him in power for a moment (ugh). Anya starts sleeping outside of the sleeping quarters, in the common area where there’s a motion activated statue of Polle which could tell her if Jimmy was trying to approach her at night, and at some point Jimmy broke it between Anya dying and Swansea dying
His complex only affects him enough to make him wary of other men (Swansea) and the faceless company and the faceless baby that he’s responsible for, and notice how in each event scene he’s only being chased when the antagonist is silent? Anya’s power is in her words, as is the company’s, and we never see a conflict with them directly until Jimmy imagines the fetus. With Swansea, he equally pursues and is almost hunting Swansea instead of the other way around, but with Curly…curly is quiet. Just a judgmental eye forcing him to think about his actions again and again but nothing is said. We don’t hear a word out of him except out of Jimmy’s own demented head, and the company and the baby are never directly heard from either-except for the motivational posters of Polle. The baby is where Pony Express and Anya both intersect and HE’S the one being chased, the silence maddening him more than words could.
The only thing he’s truly attracted to is power over others. And the only thing he’s truly afraid of is the power his responsibilities have over him, making him physically back away because he’s so averse to it. Sorry this is a whole essay btw omg
I almost feel like it’s trying to say Jimmy considers the baby to be the Tulpar’s child instead of his… like he only did such horrible things because he’s a “victim of circumstance.” Which is why he can’t picture the fetus as human… because then he would have to admit to himself that he made it.
@ Oh god like a “any guy would’ve done the same in my situation” type thing as if it’s the pony express’ fault he did it just because they put a woman on board with him. Jimmy 😭😭😭
These are both great points, and there definitely is a huge focus on his complexes and lack of taking responsibility for any of his actions. But I still think there's an aspect to do with how there's only two female coded characters in this game; Anya and Polle the Pony Express mascot. It feels like there's something there with how Anya used the Polle statue as a motion alarm, but it ends up being broken or disabled by Jimmy. It's kind of an opposite to Curly, someone who should have helped her and had the power to do something, but didn't. Polle wasn't able to physically help Anya, but would have been able to warn her. That feels significant, like how women will warn each other about creepy men. But Jimmy broke that connection between the female coded characters
@ Totally! I agree with every point here, and seeing the parallels with Polle and Anya laid out like that make it even more sad
I really appreciate the reflection at the end of the vid. Not many people who played the game even brought it up. But especially for this game thanks for that :)
Edit: I will say though, Curly is also at fault. There are many deep dive videos that go into the same point, but Anya told him what Jimmy did, and Curly didn't confront Jimmy about it because he's his friend. Curly's a people pleaser type of person, wanting everyone to be happy. He ignored the red flags.
And poetically, after the crash he's forced to watch as the consequences of his inaction unfolds, bedbound and not able to do anything, even if he wanted to. His inaction lead him to be forced into more inaction yknow? But man this game, its just so well made.
Some trivia:
Daisuke in Japanese means _Big Helper_
Swans(sea) are very protective with their offspring, but will kill them if they are not able to leave the nest aka not fit to survive the world
interesting
i see
ooh
Smitty (and anyone else) if you liked mouthwashing I BEG you to play SIGNALIS, the story and lore are so amazing, the story is gut wrenching and beautiful, the soundtrack is phenomenal and it’s got similar graphics if that’s what you’re into. Also just a little spooky
(If Smitty plays it I’ll buy merch 🙂)
i watched manlybadasshero play it aaaages ago but my attention span couldnt pay attention (i dont even remember if i made it past the first video part). i love gut wrenching games and feeling miserable, thank you for convincing me to get back to it ahaha
@@radlegowaffleI actually found manlybadasshero a couple months ago through his signalis video lmao, another misery connoisseur 🤝
Just watched the whole video Smitty; Jimmy sexually abused Anya (implied from conversations) and intentionally crashed the ship as a failed murder-suicide attempt because due to the impending layoffs, he was going to have to bear responsibility for the kid. This has also lead to Anya breaking down, ultimately leading to her overdosing.
While attempting to save Anya, Daisuke was injured in the process, and his wound became infected when Jimmy tried to use the mouthwash as an impromptu antiseptic. Swansea was guarding the cryogenic pod for Daisuke, but the infection led to Swansea euthanizing Daisuke.
Also, before Swansea's execution, he was condemning Jimmy for his cowardice and selfishness in his last moments, and everything that you saw that was "unreal" was his hallucinations, but he ultimately led Curly into a cryogenic pod because this was his attempt to "fix the situation."
Mouthwashing, a game I never knew I needed ngl.
im really glad you fully mentioned and atleast slightly understood what happened to anya, a lot of content creators dont really touch on it, so thank u :D loved the playthrough
no way he accidentally foreshadowed the word horse on this game, smii7y predictions moment??? 1:00
Fucking so much foreshadowing
35:34 like look
also 1:12:20
@@CaptainCurly_pillhater Love the name and pfp lmao
For context (spoilers)
Jimmy SA’d Anya and got her pregnant, but when he found out he got her pregnant he decided he didn’t want to deal with it and crashed the ship instead. Swansea was trying to protect Anya, and (in my opinion) was saving the cryo pod for her (could’ve been for Daisuke though). In the end he decided to “take responsibility” by saving Curly and taking the easy way out. All around a fantastically written game.
58:42 I’m probably wrong but I believe Swansea was telling Anya here that he’d like to save the cryo pod for daisuke
Out of all of them Daisuke seems to have the most promising life if he was saved after being put in the cryo pod
@@kageoriithat’s fair, I like that the devs left it up for interpretation. My only thought would be Swansea may want to save Anya due to her being pregnant, but I 100% could see either being true (although based on his dialogue about Daisuke later on I’m torn lol)
Also at the beginning/in the flashbacks Jimmy is near the cockpit on the way from utility, probably just coming back from trying to find the axe and the gun. This is probably the moment he realized Anya had hidden the gun and Swansea had taken the axe and he couldn’t kill Anya in a straightforward way because of it, and he instead had to crash the whole ship to get himself out of taking responsibility for everything
It was for daisuke. That’s what they where talking about. They also spoke about her assault
pod was def for daisuke thats why Anya said “…if it has to be this way” in that conversation she was having with swansea before jimbothy interrupted. Daisuke was the youngest and the one with the most hope for the future
I love how he played this. I love how "serious" this is compared to other videos. Honestly, this was my favorite video of yours. Thank you.
59:59 Smitty sounds so gentle yet slightly deranged throughout this little segment it's so amusing
Dude ngl if i ever made a game i'd pay smitty to voice act for it like how intense he gets with some of these scenes is incredible
im really glad you gave some perspective at the end, i was waiting for you to make connections about things (specifically the anya stuff) and knowing you took time to process things really makes glad. I told myself i would finally watch a playthrough of this game if you played it and im glad you went about this pretty respectfully.

Oh my god. This was *not* what I was expecting from the dev(s) of ‘How Fish Is Made’ but I am pleasantly - or, well, more horrified but in a positive way? Idk if that makes sense - surprised. I may not be able to 100% understand all the in-depth layers this game contains (thank you commenters with your magnificent brains for explaining things, y’all are amazing) but I can appreciate the effort, the thought and the brilliance it took to put this game together. It might be one of my favourites now, both as a game in general and on this channel
you should definitely play inscryption. it's a total masterpiece
Dude this Smii7y guy is really good he should make some more channels
"Road 96" is a pretty cool game. You are a hitchhiker trying to flee the country and you get dropped in on all kinds of scenarios that happen on your route. from a music festival to a robbery you are forced into, a ride from a murders taxi driver or in the back of a limo with an out of control celebrity. And your actions effect your ultimate ending. there are like 30-35 different scenarios to play.
I would love to see you handle yourself through them and i'm sure others will love to as well ;)
oh, but don't play the 2nd game "mile 0" that one isn't as good and the story wont make much sense without playing the original game.
I love this channel, its such a sharp departure from the main channels, and I love that! It's really nice to get to hear you experience and talk about your thoughts on games, hearing your passion for gaming is so awesome
I dont normally comment but, with Smi77ys new channel, ive never felt such raw connection and understanding from the content as well as from the content creator, thank you for letting us go on this journey with you, truly a work of art.
For sure not a game for me, but i can see how many people would love this game
Hope everyone who's playing this enjoyed it
What a spectacle of story telling.
Enjoyed the video Smitty, you're funny af
And you have been killing it with this new channel
Keep it up !
Really do appreciate your ending summary. it a game that requires a lot of after thought to process the metaphors and what actually just happened. Don't need it for every game but it was well deserved for this one and a great wrap up to the video. Love this new channel Smii7ty, Keep it up!

Not him saying "I'm a genius" after saying that AU is gold and not Astronomical Units
Still Wakes The Deep is a long game like this but the graphics are absolutely gorgeous, there's amazing voice acting, and great storytelling. It doesn’t take place in space, instead its set on an oil rig in the north sea. If you could try it out, that would be awesome.

YEAHHHH!!!!!
edit: just finished watching, and for one, i've never heard this man be more devastated through my (albeit short) time following his channels. second, AU refers to Astronomical Units when referring to distance in space, specifically within our solar system, beyond that distance is light years. third, the themes of this game, once you get deeper and deeper into its symbolism is so dark and focuses on so many heavy topics, i love it and I absolutely adored watching this!

DUDE IM GONNA CRY I LOVE THIS GAME.
this is a absolutely beautiful play through, i think the fact that you couldn’t really believe what jimmy had done really cemented how horrible it was and the slow realization made it hit a lot deeper. Please do more games like this smii7y, this was an absolutely beautiful game and I loved your play through.
9:17 Joe Swanson took over just to say "born" XD
I'm glad you took some time to think about & come back to share your thoughts. I've watched 2 other people play and they didn't seem to understand what was going on with Anya. "I hid the gun so he can't get it." "Why is there a lock on the med bay door but not the crew quarters?" The curled up position she's in when talking to Curly. "I don't want him coming in here anymore." And then the ship crashes and he's in her space every damn day to check on Curly. But JIMMY felt trapped? I'm infuriated by Jimmy.
All this to say, I'm really glad you played this. I've been looking forward to it since you mentioned it.
I'd also like to back up the people suggesting Inscryption. I think you'd really like it. It's not scary. I'd describe it as unsettling if anything.
I luv mouthwash

Smii7y should play satisfactory with puffer, matt, and john
Ahhh yes, always happy when SMii7y drops a new video
Honestly, 10/10 voice acting Mr Smitty
5:44 yeah his name is Smithers
im glad you took the time to play this game as its fanbase was getting more popular (me included) and seeing this game for the first time even if its through a playthrough, really made me feel something in a way i can't describe and I just want to thank you for making this video
FINNALY, I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS
I for one loved it. this longform content of yours reminds me of the olden days of letsplays bringing along viewers for the whole experience of the game. if 'weird' / spooky was the vibe you were going for on this channel, i'm really glad you came around to picking up mouthwash. it seemed like an appropriate choice.
This new totally not smi7y has a cool voice
1:37:07 the key has a swan on it. For Swansea’s keys 😁
jimmy, in fact, could not fix this... oh and with the raspy voice, smi77y, that narration was top tier
