10 Horrifying Video Game Implications We JUST Learned

10. The Foam Is Bodily Fluid - Foamstars

The recently released Splatoon-like Foamstars hasn't exactly set the gaming world on fire, though at a cursory glance it at least seemed like a totally harmless, family-friendly multiplayer shooter, right?

But those who gave the game a try on launch soon enough came to realise that it's a little more... questionable than expected, as the backstory for protagonist Soa reveals a side-eye-inducing origin story for the game's voluminous foam.

Soa states that foam is a bodily fluid which she and presumably other characters can secrete, as proves to be a source of embarrassment for her. The game doesn't go into much detail beyond that, but this seems to explain where at least some of the ever-present foam featured in the game comes from.

It seems like a bizarre, perhaps fetishistic inclusion for a game clearly aimed at younger players, and while Splatoon also had its central characters secrete ink, it's important to remember that they're squids, and so that absolutely made sense. 

Having characters randomly produce foam from their bodies, though? Ewww.
