i just realized the code to open the axe case is daisuke's birthday. what a morbid fucking piece of foreshadowing that is, jesus.
😨
WHATT😭
NO WAY...
Nah... I wish that was a lie bro...
...Oh!
I don't think Curly was feeling very "Yimpy" when his skin was removed from his body and forced to watch the horrors his close friend commits
That was not a very Yimpy moment
Actually, I'd argue that that is the essence of what Yimpy is and stands for. I say Curly was at his Yimpyest when witnessing the horrors.
@@XIVs_abyss I feel like yimpy can be used in multiple ways

5:54 “Don’t mind my child in the background!” Charlie unknowingly being correct from the beginning is so funny to me
oh no… the way that’s phrased hurts me 😔
Wait a minute I didn’t even catch that
At least Charlie actually recognized it was a baby crying meanwhile Jack thought it was a horse xD
I love how it went from " pure whimsy, chugging mouthwash and joking around " to " I don't want to play this character anymore."
HE WAS SO HAPPY AT THE START I ACTUALLY FEEL BAD FOR HIM DHDJJD
@s1llysunnyyyfr... watching this after having played the game myself im just like oooohhh boy if you think this is bad, just you wait
Should we tell him that drinking mouthwash can be cancer causing long term
@@fallkey4822 i really don't think the charlie isn't cancer. i believe that's what the slime is.
I think Swansea’s speech to Jimmy might be my favorite piece of dialogue in any game I’ve ever seen. The sheer emotion, Swansea doing what Jimmy is physically incapable of doing by coming to terms with himself at the very end and accepting who he is and the mistakes he’s made, the sheer, utter contempt in that final “Fuck you”, made clear even without voice acting… god, it’s a fucking masterpiece
It is my favorite monologue in media.
THIS ‼️‼️
RIGHTTR like when did he become a poet
@@V1DE0-STARZ he's usually always been pretty eloquent and clever with words! he's genuinely a smart guy and has his own set of wisdom in a way, bleak as it may be.
(9:58) "Then there's that teeny bopper thinkin' only with his downstairs longnose."
(38:11) "You hear that? That's the sound of 15 years of sobriety poppin' like a cyst! A glorious, magnificent, red hot cyst!"
(1:18:44) "You think it's all goin' somewhere, but every failure leaves you a little more mangled than before. Older, uglier, meaner. Smarter in a worse way."
(1:26:13) "Useless ray of goddamned sunshine. Not an ace student, career workhorse, or force of ambition. Just a damn good kid trying his best. You could've taught an old fool like me a lot."
in one of the Q&As, the devs apparently had a lot of fun developing his dialogue. he's such a wonderful and way too often overlooked character. im so glad his monologue scene exists and sticks with people but to look back on swansea and who he is as and was as a person, his lessons really dig deep in some ways. the dissatisfaction with pulling yourself together and being responsible, knowing you hurt yourself and others around you, being unable to save a kid that was like family, being away from his own family for all this time and knowing he was never gonna go home and thats why he broke a decade and a half of sobriety in an instant. he partied his days away when he could. he speaks with decades of experience and a lifetime of misery and deep seated unhappiness, up til the very end.
@@humdrumbellsongs9083 my favorite fact about him was that he was a sneakerhead and bought a new pair every year for his anniversary of sobriety
A few things I noticed that made me love this game even more:
- Daisuke stands next to curly while he makes the cake so he knows the sweetener code which is how he was able to get the packets
- There are hints that Jimmy was a criminal back on earth
The infant crying Charlie hears in the beginning could be a reference to Anya’s unborn child
- During the blood lake hallucinations with all the ladders and emergency signs, this was most likely curly remembering the crash in his injured state, that’s what the bright light was
- Anya doesn’t show up in Jimmy’s hallucinations but polle does and Anya has the same text color as her
- even though we mostly only see Swansea be mean to daisuke you can assume he’s pretty good to the kid outside of what we’re shown based on how Daisuke looks up to him
- curly is a pretty passive character, he actually had the power to stop Jimmy before he became a problem, he could’ve protected Anya after she told him about what Jimmy was. Being passive doesn’t mean you’re not culpable.
- Jimmy believes that his one good act, saving curly, is enough to make up for his past transgressions. He’s still trying to be the hero and he gets to die in the most undeservedly merciful way out of all of them. Worst of all, he honestly believes he was in the right.
Adding onto the fifth one, jimmy has "sexual attraction to cartoon horses", which makes it sting a little bit more
Damn. Anya being represented by Polle really just goes to show how much he did not see her as a human being. Fuck man
Crazy how even the better person, Curly, still did something fucked up by deciding to let Jimmy live, even after hearing what Anya said.
Also with that Polle/Anya situation thing, Anya mentions how Jimmy was getting sexual dreams about horses like Polle which also translates to his SA and lust toward Anya.
Both Jimmy and Curly only act as the hero for Anya when it is simple, Curly interviews Jimmy when Anya is uncomfortable but as you said is passive. Jimmy will only give Curly meds after Anya is physically weak by it and acts like it’s the biggest sacrifice in the world.
adding to the blood lake hallucination thing, i heard someone say that the warning signs showing up were metaphorical for curly’s guilt over not seeing/ignoring jimmy’s warning signs. alongside that, that hallucination happens right before they have the whole curly being at the top of the ladder talk, and here he sees broken ladders, which likely is in reference to how he’s at the top but is a part of a very broken company that doesn’t care about its employees and also how he’s at the top because he allows people like jimmy to work under him, which means that he himself brings in some level of that brokenness
Fun fact: Yimpee is a close up drawing of Jimmy, one of the devs drew it but forgot drawing it so they didnt know who did it and left it ingame. In canon, Daisuke drew it and Anya found it funny so she left it up in the medical room. Though considering later events I doubt she'd like looking at a close up image of Jimmy by the time the game takes place.
It's sort of making fun of him, so maybe she'd be fine with it
My favorite part of Mouthwashing is how there is no otherworldly, paranormal threat. Every dangerous point presented on the ship is directly from another human being.
those are th best kinds of horror games imo
Yep
I think its just called psychology horror actually
@@scorpy9000dead space, silent hill 2, resident evil 7, outlast, alien isolation.... so excuse me??
it's a horror game where the real monster of the game can, and probably does, exist in the real world, and that's the scariest thing about it
charlie’s media literacy really shows in this playthrough, saw a bunch of playthroughs that were just “well i don’t really know what happened but good game!” so this in contrast was a very satisfying watch
i think some people definately got it but just glossed over it cause it's so dark
for real! I was so glad to see a male youtuber finally understanding what's really going on in the game. kinda sad that it's so rare
Yeah, that's why I like to watch his playthroughs first before I watch other people. It feels like he respects the games he plays more than the average RUclipsr, but maybe that's just me.
Exactly! I didn’t feel like I had to shake the screen and scream this time 😂
i love Cory but God I got those vibes from his playthrough
One of my favorite things about Charlie playing this is that he actually understood a lot of the implications way before many other RUclipsrs/streamers did. And that made this so much more enjoyable to watch.
fr, the themes have flown over a lotta male yters/streamers heads especially, so im glad to hear that charlie didnt miss them
Nothing demonstrates this more than the way that, barely a minute in, he says ‘Don’t tell me we’re carrying mouthwash’ with such a depressed tone
Do you mean that you play as the bad guy or is there some implication other than that because I’m not sure
what are the implications exactly?? maybe i already noticed them but idk
@@neonii9325 Basically what the flashback scenes tell us is that:
- Jimmy raped Anya
- She got pregnant because of it but hid the pregnancy from everyone
- When Curly told the crew that pony express was firing them she realized how bad her situation was
- Anya told Curly what happened to her and hid the gun just in case Jimmy reacted badly to her pregnancy
- She told Jimmy about the baby and he realized he wasn't gonna get away with what he'd done
- He didn't want to Take Responsibility (wink wink) so he intentionally put the ship on course with a meteor to avoid dealing with any repercussions
- Jimmy panicked after he realized what he'd done so when Curly was severely injured from the crash, he blamed him because Curly couldn't speak and expose him
All the scenes after the crash are showing Jimmy's decent into madness and his extreme efforts to try and repress the fact that pretty much everything is his own fault
Polle being the image that Jimmy actually faces instead of Anya herself is probably even more messed up considering the little heehee haha he tried to pull during his psch eval
God that's so right, that whole last segment was making him face the things he did to Daisuke and Swansea but hes so fucking far removed himself from Anya that she doesn't even appear
@@PragmaticProsecutorhe also says literally nothing when he sees her corpse. Like you don’t even have an OPTION to interact with it that’s how little Jimmy cares
@@GobaGNon yeah, especially considering he can interact with the vent in that exact scene and says "I can't stand to look at his blood anymore.". Anya was dead right next to him and he didn't even take a glance
Yeah I think Polle represents Anya in his head, not a human.. Sexually attracted to.. questioning his sanity.. etc, etc.
@@randomgvyoh god yeah i just realized i kept thinking why we're Things with anya represented this way..
1:56:56 The most infuriating part about Jimmys whole “apology” is that never once does her apologize to Anya, the one person he should be concerned about. But he never acknowledges her death (fully blocking it out at first), never gets flashbacks of guilt like he does the everyone else, and has Polle as a stand in for he because losing his job/reputation affected him more than what he did to Anya
I wonder how much of that was because they didn't want to show flashbacks of what happened? A big part of the story is that subtle reveal, and showing explicit flashbacks would've been pretty counter to the whole slow-burn vibe they've built up.
@@DerekS-kq3zh I don't know if that factors in much? We don't see Daisuke's actual injury, we don't see the impact of Swansea's death, and even the shit Jimmy does to Curly is all metaphorical body horror. I'm sure there would've been a subtle way to show Jimmy giving any thought to what he did to Anya, but it's pretty easy to tell that he never did.
@@DerekS-kq3zh he really just doesn’t care about Anya, the point is the only person he cares about is Curly. Anya locks herself in and his first thought is worry for Curly, not for her, in contrast to Daisuke who says “what if *she* runs out of something”. Jimmy manipulates Daisuke into going into the vent, he knows Swansea will be pissed and he knows the danger, but convinces Daisuke it’ll be fine and Swansea will be proud. All because he puts Curly’s safety above Daisuke’s.
I’d say Jimmy not caring about Anya, or anyone for that matter other than Curly, is barely even subtext. If he was meant to care about her they would have shown it, but the dialogue and actions we see suggest the opposite.
@AnEmu404 I agree with that in part, but I don't even think he particularly cares about Curly. He tells himself that he does to maintain his image of himself as a hero, but people who care about someone don't treat them like that when they're hurt and vulnerable.
Jimmy's actions in the cockpit show exactly how little he cares about everyone else on the Tulpar. He chose to doom them all rather than face even the possibility of having consequences for his actions.
His “apology” was sorry you feel like that, Swansea was so real for going at him with an axe.
The realization of Anya being pregnant and asking why the sleeping quarters don't lock but medical does- and the fact she feels she needs to hide the gun to feel safe when people realize what happened- its so interesting seeing people go from "okay he's an asshole-" to "O. O oh god what- oh Jesus- " its so interesting seeing how different people react to the realization-
I felt really dumb cause when that happened my mind was on that weird scene of interrupting a convo with Anya and Swansea with the axe, I thought it was him not Jimbo 😭
@@MadeOfConfusion don't be, Swansea was supposed to be a red herring because of his grumpy personality
WAIT IS THAT WHY??? OMG AM I ACTUALLY STUPI??
It's one of my favorite, legitimate uses of shock value. You get so cozy in Jimmy's perspective, only for them to rip you out of it with the worst possible thing he could have done, given clearly, but not graphically. It manages to be shocking and disturbing, while putting your attention where it needs to go: on what Jimmy did, the warning signs, and how many people failed to stop it. It's a gripping tragedy.
@@tikki2340 omg I forgot there were other people probably there… dear gosh they could have done something omg

Bro my favorite part of mouthwashing is the dead pixel conversation that Anya has with Curly. It took me a while to realize it but it's really just her hinting at getting SA'd by Jimmy and trying to reach out and let Curly know that she's pregnant.
"Why do you think they have locks on the medical room but not in the sleeping quarters?"
"Eight months."
"It's always there in the back of my mind."
And how Curly just dissmisses her and doesn't go into everything she talks about represents how he deals with it when he does realize.
"Safety."
"Yeah, just under eight months"
"I don't see it."
When Anya mentions the dead pixel, he barely spends two seconds looking for it before moving on, then he claims he'll "go bonkers looking for it" but then never really does anything. This directly parallels with how he deals with Anya's SA and Jimmy because all he does is have a gentle talk with Jimmy when he claims he'll "fix everything" but never actually does anything to repremand Jimmy or to help Anya.
The writing in this game is SO GOOD oml!!! And I think it was theorized that Anya started sleeping mext to one of the motion activated Polle dolls to wake up in case Jimmy tries to come by again, and thats why with all of the baby crying and stuff we see Polle. In Jimmy's head, Polle represents Anya in a way, in how he objectified her and how she never shows up in any of his hallucinations. Even with the ID card scene, her face is always covered up. And at the end when the Polle is there on top of all the mouthwash bottles and says something along the lines of "why are you still so concerned about *him*".
And Curly is a metaphor for how Anya felt when she was SA'd, unable to move or speak ir anything.
The whole thing is tied in with Anya and I think it displays sa in a realistic way in how Anya is always being discredited and pushed to the background.
An interesting thing about the "Why are you still so concerned about HIM?" line is that even though it's from Polle, Polle has the same dialogue color as Anya. I think it's symbolically Anya from Jimmy's subconsciousness, confronting him about his actions and his misdirected attempts to fix the situation. Yet he just CANNOT bring himself to face her. Even as he is spiraling into insanity, Jimmy's mind practically erases Anya completely in order to avoid it. To the point where the only traces of her that are left are these hollow depictions of a cartoon horse.
God this game is horrifically fascinating, I feel like I could write a whole essay about each character
You're also the first person I've seen draw the connection between Curly's fate and what Anya went through/how she felt being trapped on a ship with her abuser
I've also heard the dead pixel represents Jimmy, how Anya had been conscious of it and even when she brought it to the attention of Curly he said he just couldn't see it, and how despite knowing it being there, it doesn't "ruin the illusion" of his impression of Jimmy
the connection between anya and polle is so interesting. Like even at the beginning when curly is getting his psych eval and anya is noticeably uncomfortable with the thought of being alone with jimmy, but also the thing he said about being attracted to cartoon horses at 20:53
@@crep1544gods that makes it worse. Everything is awful. This game is amazing in the way it achieves these feelings.

I think the greatest part of Mouthwashing is that it’s a cautionary tale. There were so many clear moments where it didn’t have to go this wrong, where something should have been done, but every mechanism that should’ve been in place to stop this wasn’t. If there was a lock on the sleeping quarters, if Curly hadn’t taken his side and had stopped him, if Jimmy never was invited onboard- the story didn’t have to end this way
boiling it down to individual action is also a part of it. all of the men aboard are responsible for these events.

2 days after this was recorded, Charlie was found dead in his home. The autopsy revealed that the cause of death was flouride poisoning, a singular bottle of mouthwash was found at the death scene.
I didn't see this. I said the same thing
It was empty. Further investigation finds 20 more empty bottles of mouthwash under his bed.
A later investigation on the area, there was another box of mouthwash hidden in the storage room.
Further investigation has been conducted. Investigators have found twenty four more empty bottles of mouthwash.

The small detail of Curly's eye following Jimmy around like he knows what Jimmy did, but can only watch him destroy things.
Why is the voice acting he does so good. I guess “Charlie Slimecicle” is getting better at mimicking human behavior.

when anya locks herself in medical i think jimmy automatically assumes that she's gonna try to hurt curly, from his dialogue it's clear he knows anya will do something drastic but he doesn't even comprehend the fact that she might hurt HERSELF instead of curly. i think if they had tried to explain to swansea more then he definitely would've said she was gonna hurt curly instead of worrying about anya, but as u continue anya's wellbeing isn't even something he considers. it's all about curly and jimmy thinks he can be forgiven for his crimes by saving curly, he apologizes to curly, he wants to make things right with curly, even his hallucinations or delusions are centered around curly, barely anything is about anya besides the scene with the baby ultrasound and i think the fact that it's so disturbing can showcase that he only see's the baby and NOT anya, she really doesn't even make the top 10 of his worries, maybe he feels some guilt about getting her pregnant (the hallucinations of the fetus) but it's not shown that he has any guilt for sa-ing anya. he doesn't take responsibility for how he hurt her, or for how he treated any of the others in fact, he genuinely thinks he's been in the right and that's shown in the scene with swansea and him. he doesn't think him hurting anya is a big deal besides how she got pregnant bcs that would affect HIM if they got back, i think some of the polle posters prohibit employee relationships? i couldve misremembered that so if not then u can probably assume that (like a lot of companies) pony express might not allow those relationships either outside of what's shown.
also polle even says "why are u still so concerned with HIM" to jimmy and i think that could be his subconscious trying to tell him to take responsibility for his actions towards anya and the rest of the crew
long rant and maybe im completely off but thats what i interpreted from my playthru and charlies 😣
another interesting detail that just adds to how little Jimmy disregards Anya's entire existence is the fact that Anya stated the mouthwash's sugar content probably nullifies the actual ability for the mouthwash to be an effective disinfectant, meaning his whole journey to get the mouthwash to try to "save" Daisuke was fruitless from the very beginning. Perhaps Swansea remembered, and that's why he put down Daisuke.
one thing that was pointed out to me is that jimmy only cared about the unborn child and never anya in any capacity, and with the whole "take responsibility" deal he got going on its hinted that he is only terrified of being a father, and taking responsibility for the action of getting. her. pregnant. and not sexually assaulting her. GOD the writing and subtle messaging is SO GOOD

he also took the time to set up the birthday decorations too.
kind of reminds me of the ending scene from the movie Pearl where she sets the dinner table, love this game sm
I really love that scene because when you’re in his pov they’re sitting up “alive” but when it zooms out they’re clearly still dead. Basically showing Jimmy’s delusions and what his mind is like vs what’s actually happening.

@@-Tina-isn't it metal? Last time I checked, axes don't do much against metal doors lol
@@tobiasbayer4866I kinda figured Swansea was sort of “in on it”. Not because he disliked Anya or anything, but because she told him what Jimmy had done and maybe she convinced him to let her do that.
Idk, it felt very weird how unwilling to help he was, so it seemed like he had just resigned himself to not letting Diasuke and Jimmy stop her.
He was by no means a great guy, but he saw how much pain and fear Anya was going through, and by then there just wasn’t any hope.
There was only one cryo pod, and I’m sure he would’ve decided it would be for Diasuke instead of anyone else 💔
my favorite slow realization of the game after the big one for me was my slow, angry realization that never ONCE does Jimmy feel bad for Anya. never says sorry. never feels remorse for actions against HER. just his friend. Just Curly. just feels regret that his actions have consequences. never that hes committed such a heinous act
Another thing about that is how when we discover Anya's body the game does not give a dialogue option to even look at her. We are not meant to acknowledge Anya's death in game and it's such a small detail that I'm obsessed with. Fuck Jimmy lol

I can't help but noticd everytime the person playing the game realizes what Jimmy did and everytime they always say "I don't wanna play this character" or something along the lines of that
a fair reaction
except Markiplier, he didn't pick up on what Jimmy did to Anya 😭
@@judesliggoo markipliers kinda just like that ngl he doesnt pick up on a lot of things

1:59:29 "that was fucking phenomenal if not incredibly upsetting" sums up every feeling i have about this game im ngl
1:41:33
looks at photo of Daisuke
Dramatic pause
“Yup… that’s Curley” 😭
Oh I didn’t even realize lmao
He also sees Daisuke’s ghost at 1:37:42 and thinks it is Curly, too. Btw how do people not get the hibiscus, weights, and GameBoy symbolism? That’s how stressful the game is for players, that it obscures the retention that casual viewers like us have lol.
@@NRF_42 I don't understand the hibiscus weights and gameboy symbolism. Is the gameboy because he's young?
@@zinxxo7202 the hibiscus is because its the same flowers on daisukes shirt, also the weights and gameboy are just things found by his mattress; there's no real symbolism behind them, theyre just a collection of objects meant to symbolise daisuke (through his interests)
Mouthwashing is such a genuinely good game. I'm not gonna spoil anything but it really forces you to think about all the characters actions and how each person perceives them, and the symbolism and forshadowing is amazing and offers great material for discussion. Also whenever there is voice acting (albeit almost never) its done beautifully. Just my thoughts.
Is there any other ending were Captain curly lives and everyone else does too except Jimmy that would be the best ending I'd say
@@ocksahlnestreves6139 no, one ending. It’s a linear game and that’s an important part of the message
@@ocksahlnestreves6139 There's always fanfiction
@@ocksahlnestreves6139 Real life doesn't work like that. Stories don't either.
@@straightupnothavingagoodtime
real life doesn’t let you change the past but it still lets you, like. make decisions, right?
-..right??-
Just in case you haven’t figured it out yet, all the hibiscus’s (pink flowers) were representing Daisuke because of his shirt! Plus the figure you mistook for Curly WAS Daisuke, along with the funeral photo and grave. And the fact that Jimmy had a guilt sequence for every character except for Anya, him having one for the unborn fetus and seeing her only as a womb with eyes shows us how despicable he really is.
Also just wanna say that your run of this game was the only one that made me cry. The overall empathy and vice was immaculate. Thanks for getting me more into this game Slimecicle 👍
The flowers represent Anya because that's what he has to take responsibility for but never does. That's why the screen glitches everytime you look at them. The whole scene is a metaphor for Anya with Polle tormenting him as the unborn kid, her face crossed out on the ID's, her flower, ipod, and dumbbells in the beginning. Also, he didn't really do anything to Daisuke, other than just fail him like everyone else, but he has more to be sorry for with Anya
@@aurelia896the pink flowers are directly related to daisuke. his shirt and color scheme match perfectly and they were placed either side of his photo. lets be real...jimmy never regreted what he did to anya. just that he got caught and got her pregnant.
CHARLIE PLAYED MOUTHWASHING WE WON
@UTTPAlbaninski Im hearing "911 what is ur emergency" bc i translated it

NOT ME I DONT WANT TO BE RE TRUAMATIZED😭😭😭😭
1:25:18 THE IMMEDIATE "oh okay fuck jimmy" AFTER THE REALIZATION IS SO REAL
What did he realize? Because that’s not the SA part yet right? I don’t understand this game much 😭
@@OGCalicant this is right after we learn that anya is pregnant from sa, actually :) a rlly good video i js watched that talks more in depth about the game's confusing aspects is "you are missing the point of mouthwashing" by alleydreamer !!! i recommend checking it out :D
@@OGCalicanthe either realised extent of the sa at that moment or was horrified by the fact that the sa made her pregnant against her will
@qazwsx014jsbd8 ah okay
@@OGCalicant ”I know you’d never give me the gun to protect myself. So the least I could do… is make sure he never gets it either.”
She just revealed Jimmy got her pregnant and HEAVILY implied she doesn’t feel safe around him (especially if he has a gun), and outright confirms that Curly will always prioritize Jimmy over her. This IS the SA part.
at 1:00:10, charlie scares the viewers half to death with a terrifying jimmy impression, then continues to break the ice with a ""haha, thats called😎 *roleplaying*"
the way he literally predicted Jimmy's child within the first five minutes without knowing it, I love that for him
Is nobody gonna mention he predicted the part that they were not only carrying mouthwash but also that they were going to drink said mouthwash in literally the first 5 minutes?
to be fair, the game IS called mouthwashing.
The game is called Mouthwashing. It was probably pretty easy to guess
I don't think it's too unusual? The game's title *is* Mouthwashing
@@snowyimp333well it’s not like the game Iron Lung had anything to do with polio or 20th century medicine, so it can’t be that outlandish to think a game in a deep space freighter wouldn’t be named for literal mouthwash.
@@alexsiemers7898well yeah but iron lung is a phrase that could easily just be referencing the iron submarine youre in. i dont know how mouthwashing would relate to a spaceship just by reading it
calling somebody "jimmy" insinuates the friendliness which comes with a nickname. and james mouthwashing is no friend of mine
Also I shared this symbolism on piterest and i wanna share it here so, SPOILER,
the packets you make the cake with are also representative of the people on the Tulpar. There's water which is blue, for Anya, yellow gelatin for Swansea, Pink sweetener for our favorite sugar stealin boy Daisuke, and they all come together to make the cake, which represents Curly for um... reasons. But there's also a green Tonic packet, Jimmy, that is never used.
Also also,
When Swansea swings the axe into the screen, 58:08 it glitches out and turns pink. A very specific shade of pink...
well that’s an absolute bummer
Hmmmmmm, a very specific shade of pink? I don't understand, what could it mean
Fym specific shade of pink? It’s just hot pink???
@@3RR0RNULL The same pink that represents Daisuke is what they meant
@@3RR0RNULLwhy r u so mad hello
Curly is also not a good person in this game too. He isn't as bad as Jimmy, but he let Jimmy do what he did. He didn't let Anya protect herself, he didn't do anything beside just talk when he learned of the SA, even from the start he let Jimmy on board when he said he knew he was "struggling on earth". All he did was watch this stuff happen. And this is shown from his state after the crash. He doesn't move, doesn't talk, doesn't do anything. He just watched.
The problem is that Curly is only a "nice" person. The difference between someone who's nice and good and someone who's only nice is that the latter isn't able to confront evil, which is exactly what Curly didn't do by letting Jimmy go free.
I don't think j*mmy was a hardcore criminal back on earth. Since they said the Tulpar is a manned transport vehicle, that means they'll have heavy regulations considering the responsibilities they'll have. At most, I think he may have been a petty criminal who had been doing things like theft. It might be why Curly never saw him as a threat, since he believed he knew him better. He brushes off Anya's concerns because he thinks Jimmy is just a weirdo at first, but learns that he severely underestimated him when Anya tells him about the pregnancy. His one and only mistake was believing Jimmy when he said he'll "Take care of it.", after he confronted him.
he did say anya never got a psych eval, so he probably didnt have any more reason to trust her with the gun than anyone else.
besides, all curly could really do was try to keep the peace in some way, since theres really nothing he could do to "stop" curly. there is no justice system when its five people space-truckin, and as far as we know theres no prison or brig cells on the ship. literally all that he could do was try to "talk it out", knowing full well how little it actually would resolve anything
@@topnotchindeed1536
This!
I hate how the fault is placed entirely in Curly when really its the fault of how the company sets things up.
Like, what are you supposed to do in that Situation? Its made pretty clear that each crew member except maybe Daisuke is vital. You confront Jimmy, and then what?
You still need to work together with him. Except now there will be insane tensions. The "best" bet was to act like you didnt know until you arrive and then hand him over. It only didnt work because Anya happened to get pregnant so there was now undeniable proof they couldnt ignore and would alert Jimmy to the fact he couldnt get away with it. So he chose to take everyone else down with him.
@@tobiasbayer4866'I hate how all the fault is placed on Curly!' I can already tell you will use anything as an argument even if it literally doesn't exist. So many people defend Curly and the commenter literally said 'He isn't as bad as Jimmy but-'
I LOVE how Charlie became more invested in the story as it progressed and understood the underlines context quickly. I can 99.9% say this was one of my favourite playthroughs ^^
god charlie's voice acting is phenomenal in this. really nailed the vibe of every character. even with the occasional southern accent slipping in
Thank you Charlie for playing this properly while being sensitive on the topics. I think this is the best playthrough of mouth washing I have seen
50:29 i had to stop here for a minute. Charlie's commentary and voice had made this game fun to listen to without feeling too heavy, until I heard Curly cry. Like a child trying to hold back their crying so they won't be punished for making noise. I was genuinely tearing up. I was able to get back to it quickly, though, thanks to Charlie being my comfort creator.
WOOHOOOOOOOOOO CHARLIE’S FINALLY GONNA *Take Responsibility* FOR NOT PLAYING THIS YET!!! AND FOR BOILING ALL THOSE BOYS BUT THAT’S LESS IMPORTANT
IKR??? AND AFTER THE BOYS ARE BOILED, HE CAN *cut open the cake*
moutwasing
YEA AND AFTEE THE LONG DAY HE CAN GO TO SLEEP AND *shut your eyes.*
holy fuck i forgot about his boy boiling days..
god every time i watch this game being played i get chills. seeing charlie desperately try to joke to lighten the mood between crying and being terrified makes me almost sadder because of course he’s cracking jokes thats his job, but god its just such a dark game that they don’t even lighten the mood for me

Something crazy I realized watching this that I didn't think about before is that when Jimmy went to crash the ship there was a meteor nearby. Think about it, in the infinite vastness of space there just so happened to be a space rock that was close enough to be unavoidable during the few minutes Curly let Jimmy be alone in the cockpit. It really makes the whole scenario more tragic than it already was. Like if the meteor was an hour away or even just a few minutes further, Curly might've finally gotten his shit together and taken action or at least managed to maneuver the freighter out of the way
To be fair you get like a message in the fax a while earlier that the ship will be approaching a space with lots of projectiles that could be dangerous. Jimmy could’ve seen it and already be planning stuff.
Didn't he literally force the ship into the meteor? In the very beginning charlie keeps trying to steer it left but it won't let him because he's playing as Jimmy, so the player HAS to crash into the meteor
Fun fact: you should not use mouthwash. It kills off the beneficial microbiome in your mouth that inhibits the growth of cavity-causing bacteria. If you must use mouthwash for whatever reason, opt for flouride mouthwashes over alcoholic ones. Flouride has a protective effect on your enamel, which can help counteract the damage from this disruption to your mouth flora.
So you're telling me not only did all of this happen for an absurd amount of mouthwash, it also happened for an absurd amount of USELESS mothwash?
nothing but big pharma propaganda smh
@@heskan I mean tbf Anya literally says as much albeit for the reason of the sugar contents outweighing any potential legitimate health benefits
so arin hanson was right!
There’s symbolism here
Not Charlie looking like he wanted to cry-
ANYWAYS SILLY FACT ABT SWANSEA-
Swansea was based off a Swan, Swans kill their babys when they are hurt or suffering, like when Swansea killed Daisuke.
the fact that before Charlie even knew that they were gonna get drunk on mouthwash he already was is pure comedy.
22:16 yimpy is actually a doodle of jimmy done by daisuke, according to the devs!
incredible yimpy lore
yimmppyyyy
yimpy is the alternate good version of jimmy
i’m pretty sure all the notes are made by daisuke except for the one anya gave curly
1:54:38 Fun fact: Anya's pass doesn't actually show up here!
This is because Jimmy feels no remorse towards her and is a: complete bastard
I think this is the best playthrough that I’ve watched of this game. His voice acting had me sobbing. The game in general is so sad and terrifying. This is my favourite game ever
seriously!! and his empathy and open feelings were really refreshing to see
46:27 Hey Slime, not to get all parasocial, but please don’t feel like you have to produce incredible, ground breaking content for the main channel. Whatever you produce will always be more than enough for us.
Heck yeah. We love the guy and even if it was watching paint dry I would be like YOO ITS THE SLIMY BOY and put it on in the background
This is a great example of the "hOly shit, two cakes!!"
He don’t know you man
This. It's easy to get into a mentality that everything you create has to be better than your last, to the point where people often don't realise they're already achieving that.
At the person who said “he don’t know you man” learn to read, they addressed that in the first 4 words. You need to reflect on yourself if you find issue with audience members caring about the wellbeing of the content creators they watch
@godcat_thinglearn to read properly
This game is true psychological horror, not relying on cheap jumpscares, spooky visuals, and eldritch sci-fi shenanigans, but instead on the very real sense of dread, hopelessness, and descent into madness that comes with this sort of situation. It's so effective because of just how grounded in reality it is. You don't get the comfort of thinking "this could never really happen," even with the sci-fi setting. Truly phenomenal.
charlies voice acting in this video is GREAT as soon as he met the characters he got their tone of voice down perfectly!! i havent watched all of charlies videos but i'd love to see him do more voices!!
Personally, I kept reading Swansea's dialogue in a Welsh accent, because that's the name of a city in Wales lol
And Curly is British/Australian/Kiwi
1:50:00
The burning curly scene is the most emotional moment I’ve ever experienced in a video game.
Just knowing that no matter what Jimmy says, it’s all his imagination, he’s not making this huge realization or finally fessing up for the ungodly awful things he did, no.
He didn’t take responsibility.
He didn’t fix anything.
Everyone is still dead.
And that will never change.
The first time I encountered this scene, the emotional weight of the music combined with the cinematography made me experience emotions I will likely never feel from a video game ever again, especially right after the earthshattering Swansea speech (I honest to god think about what Swansea said daily)
This game is a borderline masterpiece, there is no way around it, it’s the textbook definition.
ive watched like 5 different play throughs of this game but i think the way charlie reacted and voice acted all of this was the best. he was serious at all the right times and actually understood the story very well. also the empathy he showed for all the characters was unlike a lot of the other creators ive seen play this game. he just did it all so perfectly so props to you charlie youre a great content creator
(edit: HOW DID IT TAKE ME 2 MONTHS TO REALIZE I SPELLED GAME WRONG)
very sincerely, this is a phenomenal playthrough. there's such a deep appreciation for the story being told and it's very satisfying to see, as someone who's been enraptured with this game since its release. i haven't thought about it at all in a good few weeks, and getting to re-experience just how sickening and well done the story is through another person's eyes has revived it in my head. incredible job, charlie slimecicle. the way you handle horror makes it thrilling to engage with for people like me who struggle with the content on their own.
also the joke at the very end about actually looking for a mouthwashing tutorial and it being "way past my bedtime" made me laugh way harder than i'm willing to admit. it caught me off guard lol
YES YES YES this playthrough gives me the same thrill as when you show a friend a game you like and his reactions are PHENOMENAL i love this video so much. commentary that truly enhances the experience. stimming hard as fuck rn where the stimmers in chat
God yeah, especially his reaction to daisukes death/the events leading up to it, his devastation, and the "You Should be sorry, jimmy" were like oh he's so invested in this amazing so am I!
If Charlie doesn't upload a video in a while, we know two things that could've happened. He was poisoned from swallowing the mouthwash, or it's just his regular schedule.
i hope hes okay
The part that breaks my heart the most in this video is Daisuke's death, hearing Charlie go silent followed by a depressed "I really liked him" is heartbreaking
20:50 “he said he had…. uh.. a poner” I CACKLED I LOVE CHARLIES PUNS
Charlie's voice acting here is phenomenal! It really adds so much emotion to an already amazing narrative. Really glad to see him get so into it!
When they were trying to get into the medicine room, jimmy only deems the situation urgent when he realizes the medicine is inside.
Showing he doesn’t actually care about Anya.
well i thought he decided it was an emergency when he realized that curly was in there with her
god i hope he filled that with powerade and that's not mouthwash
I think from his face and his visceral, shaken reaction, he accidentally forced himself to drink straight mouthwash about 3 minutes into the recording of a horror game about being forced to drink mouthwash. Peak insanity.
(It's not good for you, but it probably wouldn't hurt you too much. Still, I hope he saw the complete irony of what he just did, I still can't believe that actually happened.😅)
mouthwashing tells a truly harrowing story. The story, and the way the games tells it- forcing you to crash the ship, to point the gun at swansea, to do all these awful things as jimmy. The super surreal visuals that show us exactly how the characters unravel, its all horrifying. video games are a medium for art, and this game absolutely exemplifies that.
There's just so many layers to how horrifying this whole thing is, even beyond the immediately obvious. Even if Curly gets rescued, the remainder of his life is going to be HELL. Not only is there the physical and mental trauma from the events, he's going to live with the fact that he's partially responsible for what happened, and could have prevented it.
Side note, it's also horrifying that Anya is asking at the beginning how much longer the trip is going to last, and was told 8 months. Why did it have to be exactly that long...
Why is Charlie yelling kind of scary like he’s so nice and hearing him yell is like woah 1:00:47
Bro is actually kinda good at voice acting
some real markiplier energy.
Sounds like someone would enjoy just roll with it! Jrwi(tm) is a role-playing podcast starring charlie slimecicle, grizzlyplays, conciliation and bizlychannel where you could watch all of them voice act regularly and create really cool stories together
i think hes yelled before in some of tommyinnits videos
I once skipped forward 10 seconds on accident while watching this video and skipped back and it made the scene the funniest shit ever with the subtle foreshadowing of just Charlie screaming
You have no idea how happy it makes me to finally watch someone make a video playing this game and actually understand it. I've watched so many playthroughs where the entire point just completely flies over people's heads (cough cough especially men). Charlie just immerses himself so much you can tell he really understands the gravity of it which I love so much.
Aside from Jacksepticeye, who else didn't get it?
@@gaminganimators7000I also didn't get it, but looking back I have no idea how. I think I might have brain damage

The audacity to say “We are going to live Swansea” while actively raising a gun to his head
He even says to Curly at the end "we can both still make it", when he was clearly intending to only "save" Curly and then use the gun on himself.
I think he is just completely delusional at this point.
Charlie immediately clocking that they're shipping mouthwash ("Oh, don't tell me we're carrying mouthwash..." 0:51) is an incredible start to the game.
Ain’t no way the game called Mouthwashing has mouthwash in some more, maybe as cargo in the freighter that the game takes place in
