Unveiling an Bizarre Steam Game Trial: Playing as a Poop with the Goal to Find the Toilet
Steam Next Fest is currently underway, and enthusiasts have encountered numerous engaging independent titles. But, one stands out for its offbeat concept. Titled Unko Technica, this retro-inspired platformer includes a protagonist that is truly a piece of poop striving to make its way to a commode. In case you're wondering, "Unko" translates to "poop."
The gameplay is straightforward: you only need a one button to leap. In 150 levels, battle mini-bosses and unlock a store to purchase customizations for your fecal avatar.
Execute your jumps precisely, since one error forces restarting the level. Bounce using floating orbs to launch yourself to new heights, navigate disappearing ledges, and interact with buttons to reveal new areas. Gather UN-KOINS and use them on challenging levels in which the action intensifies.
Visually, the demo features eye-catching level designs and an amazing soundtrack. The simple art of shifting geometric shapes could recall fans of beloved games like Earthbound.
Even though tough to recall previous releases where you play as a coiled turd, gaming often featured toilet humor. As an illustration, in Death Stranding, you can create throwables from character droppings. Titles such as Palworld and Ark: Survival Evolved utilize dung as soil enrichment. Naturally, fecal references shows up a lot in Obsidian's adventure The Stick of Truth.
Despite its goofy premise, Unko Technica has already earned notable accolades, such as winning at a major publisher's indie contest in 2023. This trial version is available currently on Steam, with the complete version planned to launch on computers on November 19.
