Unveiling an Bizarre Steam Demo: Controlling a Piece of Feces in a Mission to Arrive at the Toilet
Steam Next Fest is currently underway, and gamers have encountered numerous entertaining indie games. Yet, one stands out for its quirky concept. Titled Unko Technica, this classic-feel platformer lets you play a character that is truly a piece of poop striving to navigate to a toilet. As a fun fact, "Unko" means "poop."
How you interact is easy to grasp: press a jump control. Throughout 150 levels, you'll face boss fights and unlock a shop to purchase skins for your fecal avatar.
Execute your actions with caution, since one mistake means beginning again. Leap on air pockets to propel yourself upward, traverse fragile ledges, and activate switches to open secret routes. Collect UN-KOINS and use them on challenging stages as things gets crazy.
In terms of design, the demo features vibrant stages and catchy background music. The retro graphics of moving geometric shapes evokes memories of players of beloved games like Earthbound.
While it's tough to think of similar titles where you are a piece of feces, gaming often included toilet humor. For instance, in Death Stranding, you can make throwables from character waste. Examples include Palworld and Ark: Survival Evolved utilize manure as plant food. Unsurprisingly, this theme appears a lot in the adventure The Stick of Truth.
Putting aside its goofy idea, Unko Technica has already garnered notable awards, like being named best at Bandai Namco's game competition in 2023. The demo is ready now on Steam, with the final release planned to arrive on Steam on November 19.
