Unveiling an Bizarre Steam Game Trial: Playing as a Turdy Character in a Mission to Arrive at the Toilet

Steam Next Fest is in full swing, and gamers have found numerous interesting indie games. Yet, one stands out for its quirky concept. Named Unko Technica, this retro-inspired platformer features a hero that is truly a piece of poop striving to make its way to a restroom. As a fun fact, "Unko" is Japanese for "poop."

The gameplay is simple: press a single jump button. Across 150 challenges, battle boss fights and unlock a shop to acquire customizations for your fecal avatar.

Execute your actions precisely, since one wrong move means beginning again. Bounce using air pockets to propel yourself higher, traverse fragile surfaces, and touch buttons to reveal hidden paths. Gather UN-KOINS for buying more difficult game content where the action gets crazy.

Visually, the game features eye-catching environments and catchy background music. The simple art featuring morphing basic polygons may remind gamers of beloved games like Earthbound.

Even though tough to recall other games where you control a dung character, interactive entertainment frequently included toilet humor. For example, in Death Stranding, you can make throwables from character excrement. Games like Palworld and Ark: Survival Evolved utilize feces as soil enrichment. Unsurprisingly, such content appears heavily in the role-playing game The Stick of Truth.

Regardless of its silly idea, Unko Technica has already earned impressive awards, like being named best at a major publisher's GYAAR Studio in 2023. A playable preview is accessible now on Steam, with the full game scheduled to arrive on Steam this November.
