NICOSIA, Cyprus – Sept. 30, 2025 – Lost In Cult, Wrong Organ and Critical Reflex are proud to announce that “Mouthwashing: Design Works” is now available for pre-order. “Mouthwashing: Design Works” tells the development story of this contemporary horror classic – from its origins as an expansion for Wrong Organ’s previous title through to release and critical acclaim. The announcement arrives just days after Critical Reflex released a new accolades trailer to celebrate the game’s one-year launch anniversary.

Written by Khee Hoon Chan (Polygon, The Verge, Edge, Unwinnable), winner of a New York Videogames Critics Circle award, the book uncovers development insights through interviews with developer Wrong Organ’s founders: designer and programmer Jeffrey Tomec, art and narrative design Johanna Kasurinen, audio designer Martin Halldin, and producer Kai Moore.

Across approximately 200 pages, “Mouthwashing: Design Works” delves into the darkest, dingiest corners of the game’s development, its myriad influences, and the macabre secrets behind its ill-fated cast and the Tulpar: the grimy, dilapidated freighter the game is set in.
