🔗 Share this article Exploring a Bizarre Steam Demo: Controlling a Turdy Character on a Quest to Arrive at the Toilet Steam Next Fest is now live, and enthusiasts have found plenty of entertaining creations from small studios. Yet, one is particularly notable for its offbeat concept. Titled Unko Technica, this retro-inspired jumping adventure lets you play a character that is literally a piece of poop striving to travel to a commode. For those curious, "Unko" is Japanese for "poop." The gameplay is easy to grasp: you only need a jump control. Throughout one hundred fifty levels, you'll face mini-bosses and unlock a market to acquire outfits for your fecal avatar. Time your movements precisely, as a wrong move requires starting over. Jump off bubbles to hurl yourself upward, traverse fragile ledges, and activate buttons to unlock secret routes. Gather currency for buying challenging levels as the action gets crazy. In terms of design, the experience features neon level designs and a killer background music. Its minimalist graphics featuring moving geometric shapes could recall fans of classic titles like Earthbound. While it's tough to name other games where you control a piece of feces, interactive entertainment frequently incorporated fecal matter. For instance, in Death Stranding, you can create throwables from character droppings. Titles such as Palworld and Ark: Survival Evolved employ dung as plant food. Unsurprisingly, such content appears extensively in the South Park RPG The Stick of Truth. Regardless of its silly premise, Unko Technica has already received notable awards, such as being named best at a major publisher's game competition in 2023. The demo is accessible now on Steam, with the full game set to launch on computers on November 19.
