Unveiling an Unusual Steam Game Trial: Controlling a Poop in a Mission to Reach the Toilet
Steam Next Fest is now live, and players have encountered plenty of entertaining creations from small studios. Yet, one stands out for its quirky concept. Titled Unko Technica, this classic-feel side-scrolling game includes a protagonist that is actually a turd striving to travel to a restroom. As a fun fact, "Unko" translates to "poop."
How you interact is simple: you only need a jump control. Across numerous challenges, encounter tough enemies and visit a store to buy outfits for your fecal avatar.
Plan your jumps with caution, since one wrong move forces starting over. Jump off bubbles to hurl the poop higher, navigate crumbling platforms, and interact with triggers to open hidden paths. Earn UN-KOINS to purchase challenging levels as gameplay intensifies.
Visually, the game features neon stages and an amazing soundtrack. The simple art with morphing basic polygons evokes memories of gamers of classic titles like Earthbound.
Even though tough to recall similar titles where you control a piece of feces, gaming often featured toilet humor. For example, in Death Stranding, you can make grenades from character excrement. Games like Palworld and Ark: Survival Evolved use dung as soil enrichment. And of course, this theme shows up a lot in Obsidian's role-playing game The Stick of Truth.
Putting aside its goofy idea, Unko Technica has already received significant accolades, such as being named best at Bandai Namco's game competition in 2023. This trial version is ready at present on Steam, with the final release set to arrive on PC on November 19.
