🔗 Share this article Diving into a Unique Steam Demo: Playing as a Poop with the Goal to Reach the Toilet Steam Next Fest is in full swing, and players have found a variety of interesting creations from small studios. However, one stands out for its offbeat concept. Named Unko Technica, this old-school styled side-scrolling game lets you play a character that is literally a dung striving to make its way to a toilet. As a fun fact, "Unko" is Japanese for "poop." Player controls is easy to grasp: you only need a jump control. Across 150 stages, you'll face boss fights and access a store to buy outfits for your poop character. Time your movements with caution, since one error forces restarting the level. Leap off bubbles to launch yourself higher, cross crumbling surfaces, and activate buttons to open new areas. Gather currency for buying challenging levels where things intensifies. Graphically, the game boasts eye-catching level designs and an amazing soundtrack. Its minimalist visual style of morphing abstract forms could recall fans of classic titles like Earthbound. Even though hard to recall previous releases where you play as a dung character, interactive entertainment frequently included fecal matter. For example, in Death Stranding, players create grenades from protagonist waste. Titles such as Palworld and Ark: Survival Evolved employ manure as soil enrichment. Naturally, this theme is present heavily in the South Park RPG The Stick of Truth. Putting aside its humorous idea, Unko Technica has already garnered impressive accolades, like taking top honors at Bandai Namco's indie contest in 2023. This trial version is ready currently on Steam, with the complete version set to launch on PC in the fall.
