Today I remembered fragments of a videogame teaser, and it's really itches me so I need to find out what it was.

The thing is I don't have much recollection and details about it the only thing I know are:

- Japanese origins

- It didn't feature gameplay clip, it was an animated (hand drawn?) completely white and grey or black characters (kinda like when you draw a figure on a white paper, not shaded in professionally like a comic book as in MadWorld).

- It's about a prison? Something of a moving prison maybe? I remember some mechanic weels and at the ending of the teaser it zoomed out of the prison, and you could see the the game title in the prison or house.

- Video was hosted on Gametrailers, but it was also featured on Kotaku.

- This Im not sure if I'm mixing up with something else but It think I remembered it having gas masks, maybe zombies? And sound was going to be a big feature in the game design? And somebody making a big gaping hole in the wall?

Anybody have any idea what the hell I'm remembering? And if it came out already

Going off of a 'hunch', I believe the game you are referring to is Sadness for the Wii. Although never release, the game was supposed to be black and white and hand drawn. Also sound (atmosphere) was supposed to play a huge part in the game. Sadness was being developed by Nibris and was highly talked about before the Wii was ever released. The game I'm talking about, however, isn't Japanese, it's Polish.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't sadness. I think the characters had an SD thing going on (super deformed). And it didn't have a plain black and whitie filter it was like everything was sketched by pencil.

And the moving prison/castle/big building was quite important to the game.

Canīt believe it, I found it! On the brink of 2010-2011 this article came about and I found out the title thanks to a random search what one of these guys made:

It ended up being Discipline for WiiWare (Japan only) and this trailer I was describing (although some of the meomery came from screenshots as well like the gasmasks):

Looks like a really artsy game though, he works for Grasshopper now that suits him fine.

Happy new year! (although it's still some time before it happens here).
