Mouthwashing
Mouthwashing — All five employee cards, in story order
Mouthwashing has five employee cards, each linked to an achievement bearing that crew member's name. Their locations depend on the current story scene. Reaching the correct room in a different chapter does not guarantee that its card will be there.

Progression checklist
Open solution / late-game details
The route below follows story order rather than alphabetical order. Chapter numbers match the two community checklists used for this guide; use the accompanying scene description if your chapter display differs. Late entries reveal which rooms become available, so open only the part you need.
| Order | Card / achievement | Chapter | Where to look |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anya | 1 | Cockpit locker, left inner side, while collecting the emergency key in the opening. |
| 2 | Swansea | 8 | During the axe-search scene, check the right-hand vending machine in the Lounge; look inside its lower dispensing tray. |
| 3 | Daisuke | 9 | During “Check On Curly,” inspect the board-game table facing the Lounge sofa; the card is beside the game. |
| 4 | Jimmy | 16 | Lounge, inside the hat by the broken Polle statue, during the cocktail sequence. |
| 5 | Curly | 19 | Utility room, on the floor next to the cryopod on the right, before collecting the gun. |
How to check each stop
Open solution / late-game details
For Anya, opening the locker and taking the emergency key are not the same task as interacting with the card. Look at the locker side rather than only its centre. For Swansea, look down into the vending machine's dispensing area; do not spend time searching its product display.
At the coffee table, distinguish Daisuke's card from the board game and nearby objects. Jimmy's card is in the hat, so checking the statue's face is not sufficient. Curly's card is on the floor beside a cryopod in Utility; the five-card route does not direct you to the crew's living quarters for this pickup.
Bring the card under the interaction cursor and use your assigned interaction control. The source screenshots show the card being targeted, but do not establish one universal mouse or controller button. After interacting, check the corresponding named Steam achievement. Each card has its own award; you do not need all five before the first name can unlock.
If a card is absent
First compare the story scene, then the room and exact surface. The same Lounge contains three cards at different points in the narrative. Do not assume that collecting one means the other two are currently available.
The community guides describe scene-specific appearances, not a postgame free-roam collection mode. This article does not promise normal-menu chapter replay or require enabling a developer console. If you have passed a scene, keep a note of the missing name and use the relevant stop on a subsequent replay. A missing notification alone is not proof that the card has moved in a patch: check your achievement list before repeating the search.
Questions and answers
Can I collect every card whenever its room reopens?
No. The cards appear in particular story scenes. Compare the chapter and scene as well as the room, and open only the location details you need.
