Diving into an Bizarre Steam Game Trial: Playing as a Poop with the Goal to Arrive at the Toilet
Steam Next Fest is currently underway, and players have discovered numerous interesting independent titles. Yet, one stands out for its quirky concept. Called Unko Technica, this classic-feel side-scrolling game lets you play a character that is literally a piece of poop attempting to navigate to a commode. In case you're wondering, "Unko" means "poop."
The gameplay is straightforward: you only need a single jump button. In numerous challenges, encounter boss fights and visit a store to buy customizations for your dung hero.
Execute your movements carefully, since one error means starting over. Bounce on air pockets to launch the poop to new heights, traverse fragile surfaces, and activate triggers to unlock secret routes. Collect coins to purchase challenging game content as the action ramps up.
Graphically, the experience boasts vibrant level designs and an amazing soundtrack. The retro art featuring shifting basic polygons could recall gamers of beloved games like Earthbound.
Although tough to recall previous releases where you are a piece of feces, gaming have long included scatological themes. For example, in Death Stranding, you can make explosives from protagonist droppings. Titles such as Palworld and Ark: Survival Evolved employ dung as fertilizer. Unsurprisingly, such content appears extensively in the role-playing game The Stick of Truth.
Putting aside its silly concept, Unko Technica has already earned impressive accolades, such as being named best at a major publisher's GYAAR Studio in 2023. This trial version is available now on Steam, with the complete version scheduled to arrive on PC this November.
