    Some trivia:
    - Daisuke in Japanese means _Big Helper_
    - Swans(sea) are very protective with their offspring even adopt other orphan cygnets, but will kill them if they are not able to leave the nest aka not fit to survive the world
    - Horse usually symbolize "the impetuosity of desire" or sexual energy without constraint, which Jimmy seems to like it so much

    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.

    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 :)

    • @errorx_x1063
      @errorx_x1063 Месяц назад +38

      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.

    • @gctypo2838
      @gctypo2838 2 часа назад

      This, and what Smii7y said, reminds me of _Spec Ops: The Line_ [spoilers below for a game you can't buy anymore]:
      Spec Ops does a similar framing of perspective with Walker, using the distinction of The Player Character (as opposed to NPC) to grant Walker almost a moral free pass despite committing war crimes and other atrocities. It also constrained player agency to accentuate this effect (or rather, wrote the story to work in tandem with the limited agency). Walker is railroaded through all these things, and very few of them does the player actually get to choose in gameplay (and those that you do have end up meaningless). In turn, the overall story and Walker's dialogue repeats "I had no choice" - words the player has likely been telling themselves all along regarding gameplay constraints.
      Had you been reading about Walker's actions in a news article you'd be horrified and disgusted with his actions, and excuse none of it, but playing through it as a player you find yourself meeting Walker's rationalizations all on your own. The game's writing is very aware of the differences between player and audience, and makes the most of it.
      I could probably write for hours about Spec Ops. I normally come to Smii7y for "fun scary" more than "emotionally traumatizing", but it's one of my favorite examples of how to do it right, and I'm glad he caught on to Mouthwashing doing a similar thing.

    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, shes pregnant and she knows killing herself will also cause the baby to die; (edit:) most sa victims dont want to carry their baby to term, but its still very reasonable for them to feel guilt about terminating the pregnancy.
    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 )::

    *To anyone wondering **_"What's with the horse?"._*
    It's a fucked up incarnate of both The Pony Express as a company and Jimmy's child in his own mind, hence the babies cries emanating from the Polle-worm during the vent chase and the "Or what should I call you? Old Man?" line from the Polle statue while Jimmy is having a breakdown during the last part of the game.
    Edit: further evidence is at the very beginning of the game when you think you're playing as Curly crashing the ship but you're actually Jimmy crashing it, the mangled Polle appearing in front of you is Jimmy thinking about the company going under and his unwanted child as he sits there contemplating what he's just done.

    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."

      That last try to fix the situation was just as bad. Remember how they were the supposedly last manual freight cargo ships because of the company’s closure? The rest were supposed to be automated.
      Even jimmy’s attempt to help Curly probably gave him a delayed death of starvation 20 years into the future. If the ships were automated, who knows if they’d care to stop for wrecks?
      Everyone died a very painfully death. The actually evil person who was the cause of everyone’s misery got a quick death. That’s why the ending feels unsatisfying.

      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?

    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.

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

    Probably a lot of people jumped on this kind of comment, but I’ll give my two cents on this game as well:
    This is genuinely such a fascinating game. It really lures you in with this feeling that it’s going to be another creepy space monster game, but it’s much more than that: it’s simply a group of people trapped with not this lovecraftian entity or alien being, but literally just another person who is irredeemably evil. It’s one of the few games I can really remember recently where a second playthrough after your first COMPLETELY recontextualizes the story of the game. If you remember the conversation Curly and Anya had in the lounge area, Anya mentions she can see a dead pixel in the top right corner that she always knows is there while Curly doesn’t notice it and just looks at the big picture. That’s the perfect metaphor for the game right there: on a first playthrough, we’re in Curly’s mindset, where we only have his and Jimmy’s perspectives, so we don’t know truly what’s going on and think Jimmy is doing his best in a stressful situation, but further into the game and after completing it, after learning all about who Jimmy is, what he did, and just how utterly awful of a creature he was, it’s all you can notice in a second playthrough, especially when looking at Anya’s reactions to him. She’s not a clumsy nurse who can’t do a job anymore, she’s a person trapped in an iron coffin and scared to death because the man who SA’d, forcefully impregnated her is in there with her AND now in a position of authority. Jimmy’s not a stressed out new captain trying to keep his crew alive; he’s a belligerent narcissist obsessed with control and slowly losing his mind while pretending to be a hero, even though every bad thing on the tulpar is directly his fault.
    Anya became the dead pixel to us…and in some respect, so did Jimmy, because now that’s all we can think about.

      I have a feeling that this channel is one way Smii7y has to help reduce burnout. Gives him a more personal freedom of expression and a chance to dive deeper into the emotional side of games than the normal chaos of the other channels. Granted, creating content to keep from burning out on creating other content may still lead to overall burnout, having this more open forum to display a more intellectual side might give him enough of a break from "chaos with the boys" to make a few more "regular" vids before a vacation is required to refresh the mental batteries. I do like it when seemingly chaotic creators like Smii7y, take a bit and do a deeper dive into games they really like/love and give their take/insight on the experience. Kinda like when Soviet Womble does one of his video essays on games he's passionate about. It shows there's more to a creator than their typical on-screen persona.

    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.

    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

    • @robbieboydudeguy
      @robbieboydudeguy Месяц назад +110

      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.

      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 was the villain all along" and i think it made for a great, unique playthrough.

"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.

Swansea was trying to protect Anya, and (in my opinion) was saving the cryo pod for her (could’ve been for Daisuke though).

    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)

    I love your commentary at the end! One of the best parts of the game is putting you in the shoes of jimmy and Ive seen shows that do that allow people to realize through the character that they need to do better in their own lives. Games the humanize even the worst actions are a great tool for everyone realize that anyone can do harm whether or not that want to, even you. Anyways this is one of my favorite playthroughs of this game due to how invested you get! Keep up the amazing content!

    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!

    I think Jimmy’s insistence on Curly living is him still acting out his “revenge” or anger or whatever you’d wanna call it. He talked about Curly being remembered as a failed captain after finding out they were being laid off. I think the reason he was so adamant about Curly living when everyone else was saying to let him go, is so that Curly will survive to witness himself be remembered as a failed captain and have his dreams of finding something new taken away from him

    After watching many playthroughs of Mouthwash, I think Smii7y had one of if not the best voiceovers for each character. Now when I watch other people playing the game I just imagine his version of the character's voice in my head and it's hilarious.

    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

    I love how Mouthwashing is a double entendres in the title. The main character is sanitizing the truth that he tells the crew. And sanitizes the narrative he tells himself. And there’s also a lot of bottles of mouthwash.

    I had to come back to comment on this
    I genuinely enjoyed watching how this game played out, it's incredibly creative.
    It's unnerving and interesting. It did not feel like a 2 hour+ video
    I love how, as a player, you start off assuming you're the good guy. but as you play the game, it plays against your good nature. In turn you kinda question yourself.
    As the game progresses, it's this descent into insanity. It's very cleverly done too. It's the conflicting voices in your brain working against each other played out in a game. Ultimately it's the bad voices that took control (this is the best way I can describe it)
    Jimmy is a monster imo. Not just the crash. Thinking about Anya's pregnancy, the interactions between them two weren't a "couple" type. If they were in a relationship, it was an abusive one. If they weren't, Anya was raped by Jimmy. Anya was the only female on the ship. Unfortunately that's not hard to believe that that would happen. It explains Anya's suicide. I'm going to assume she felt most safe with Curly and Swansea, hence why she confided in them. Anya decided to end it next to Curly and open the draw where the gun was kept, I'm still thinking about that one.
    Swansea I didn't like at the start. However realising that he's speaking to Jimmy, I like Swansea more now. In his own way he was looking out for Anya and Die. Swansea mentioned Anya spoke to him, I'm going to assume she told him about the pregnancy. Maybe Swansea was trying to keep the cryo pod for Anya. Alternatively, possibly for Die as he was a young kid and had worked close to him. I don't blame Swansea for ending Die's life, he looked like a right state, it was probably best not to let him suffer. And I think Swansea knew that not all of them were going to make it out of there. Swansea gives veteran dad vibes.
    Die was just a good kid. Jimmy really manipulated Die at the end. I haven't thought too much about his character, tbh I might watch this video again.
    The interactions between Jimmy and Curly I need to rewatch too. My brain is going too fast to form words lol
    I hope the people that created this game are very proud, it's very well done. I've spent half the day thinking about it 😅 I could write so much more
