Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hello! Welcome to Chalfont, Chalfont, and Chalfont, Incorporated. We've been waiting for you- the temp agency that sent you here must've told you what we expect from our employees, right? Good! That means we don't need to waste time training you. Though... that outfit looks nice, and that's a really nice haircut, it doesn't suit the professional air we're trying to give our customers. Now, if you can just give me your name, and I mean your ''legal'' name, on your birth certificate, I can give you your employee ID, and we can get you started on your first day! Don't worry, we'll call you by your preferred name, we just need your legal name for our records. Oh, and don't mind the dead bodies in the halls, the Bugs leave those from time to time. If you're that worried about being attacked, all our employees are outfitted with a weapon to defend themselves with; we're certain you'll never need to, though! Now that we've gotten the paperwork out of the way, here's your cubicle, and the C.E.O. should page you soon with your first assignment!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Mouth Sweet is an RPG Maker horror game with first person shooter elements, made by Mitchell Hall of L.O.V.E. Games and released in 2016. You've been assigned an entry level job working for the rather large C.C.C. Inc. by your temp agency, hoping that it'll lead to a job substantial enough that you can make ends meet. Tasks are paged to you on a PDA that doesn't send messages, it only receives them, and each job is both seemingly inscrutable in terms of what the end goal is, while also getting progressively more disturbing. Not helping things are the invisible beasts roaming the halls, dismissively referred to as Bugs by the management, which will tear you apart if you stay in the halls longer than 20 seconds. Each task requires you to go through several, featureless hallways before reaching your destination, dealing with the Bugs as you do so; either by shooting them with your revolver, which only has six shots, or by ducking into another room, which stops them from chasing you, if you can tell which doors are and aren't locked. Ultimately, if you can tolerate your demeaning boss, not ask questions, and above all, keep your ears open, you might uncover exactly what the deal is here... or at least, make enough money to quit with your life in order.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })It can be downloaded here.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Mouth Sweet (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: At the game's start the player is presented with a selection of colorful characters to choose as your avatar, only to be be told that it doesn't "fit the culture" of the company and forcibly reassigned a generic monochrome character (one of two generic NPC designs), regardless of whatever choice you made. What's more, whatever name you input, it will be rejected in favor of either "Haas" or "Alice," the name that's apparently on your documents. When you protest, your employer assures you it's just for "the records"... and then proceeds to address you by that name. Besides being an extension of the game's themes of the dehumanizing nature of corporate culture, this particular aspect feels extremely in line with challenges many people under the LGBTQ umbrella face when seeking employment, in particular, transgender people.

Meaningful Name: 'Haas' is Dutch for 'Hare', matching the rabbit ears forced upon the player as part of their uniform. The saying 'Mijn naam is Haas'/'My name is Hare' is a way of saying 'I don't know anything' or 'That's none of my business', matching how C.C.C.'s employees are encouraged to keep their heads down. Alice, meanwhile, serves as an Alice Allusion.

Soul-Crushing Desk Job: Mouth Sweet is pretty much "Soul-Crushing Desk Job: The Game." Your employer berates you for the most minor of reasons, your co-workers want nothing to do with you or each other, and you could be mauled to death in the hallways by invisible beasts, only for your corpse to be treated as an inconvenience.

Deliberately Monochrome: Almost all of the game is greyscale, tinted slightly green to resemble an old GameBoy game. The only time you see colors that fall outside this range is when you select your appearance, only to have your choices overridden to also be monochrome. The night sky you see on your drive home after escaping is a deep purple, with bright yellow stars.

None of the co-workers who witness Vivienne's head explode seem all that distraught either, merely making offhand remarks about the situation.
