🔗 Share this article Exploring an Unusual Steam Demo: Guiding a Poop in a Mission to Arrive at the Toilet Steam Next Fest is now live, and gamers have found plenty of interesting independent titles. However, one stands out for its unconventional concept. Named Unko Technica, this retro-inspired platformer lets you play a character that is actually a piece of poop attempting to travel to a commode. For those curious, "Unko" is Japanese for "poop." How you interact is simple: you only need a single jump button. Throughout 150 stages, encounter mini-bosses and access a store to buy outfits for your fecal avatar. Time your movements with caution, as a mistake means restarting the level. Leap on bubbles to launch yourself to new heights, traverse crumbling ledges, and interact with buttons to open hidden paths. Earn coins and use them on challenging levels where the action ramps up. In terms of design, the demo features neon stages and an amazing soundtrack. The retro art with moving abstract forms may remind players of beloved games like Earthbound. Although hard to recall other games where you control a coiled turd, gaming frequently incorporated scatological themes. For instance, in Death Stranding, players create explosives from protagonist excrement. Examples include Palworld and Ark: Survival Evolved use manure as plant food. And of course, fecal references appears extensively in Obsidian's adventure The Stick of Truth. Regardless of its silly idea, Unko Technica has already earned notable recognition, such as taking top honors at a major publisher's GYAAR Studio in 2023. This trial version is available now on Steam, with the final release scheduled to arrive on PC on November 19.
