Prepare to be uncomfortable: details about Marvelous' Discipline
If you don't remember the WiiWare title Discipline, which was announced at TGS last year, we'll sum up the prison-escape for you in a way that's certain to jog your memory: alien worm Wiimote shell. According to IGN's summary of some details from Famitsu, the gross-looking green controller shell (which now doesn't seem likely to actually be released) is the least weird thing about the title.
In Discipline, you help fellow inmates in a high-security prison solve their problems, with the use of -- and there's no way not to make this sound awful -- "You Fluid" from your "You-Con" (the controller). You hold up the Wiimote to gather You Fluid while the guard's attention is elsewhere, and then interact with the world by, uh, squirting You Fluid at stuff. One example: you draw a prisoner's attention to a poster on the wall by shooting You Fluid at it.
If you help a prisoner enough, you'll break down his "Heart Walls" and learn more about the character's backstory, receiving a special item in the process.
The funny thing is that this would all be pretty innocuous -- using the Wiimote to interact in a first-person world, helping solve people's issues, adventure-game style, if not for the "You Fluid" business. We'll find out more about just how embarrassed this game will make us as the August 25 Japanese release approaches.
