Unveiling an Unique Steam Game Trial: Playing as a Turdy Character with the Goal to Find the Toilet
Steam Next Fest is now live, and gamers have discovered plenty of interesting independent titles. But, one stands out for its quirky concept. Titled Unko Technica, this classic-feel platformer includes a character that is actually a dung striving to make its way to a restroom. For those curious, "Unko" translates to "poop."
The gameplay is straightforward: just use a single jump button. Throughout one hundred fifty challenges, you'll face mini-bosses and unlock a market to buy skins for your fecal avatar.
Execute your jumps precisely, since one wrong move means restarting the level. Leap off floating orbs to hurl yourself to new heights, traverse disappearing ledges, and interact with triggers to unlock hidden paths. Gather UN-KOINS and use them on more difficult stages where the action gets crazy.
In terms of design, the experience boasts neon stages and an amazing music score. The simple graphics featuring shifting basic polygons could recall players of beloved games like Earthbound.
Although tough to name previous releases where you control a coiled turd, video games often featured scatological themes. For example, in Death Stranding, you can create throwables from protagonist waste. Examples include Palworld and Ark: Survival Evolved employ manure as soil enrichment. Naturally, such content shows up heavily in Obsidian's adventure The Stick of Truth.
Regardless of its silly idea, Unko Technica has already garnered significant awards, like winning at a major publisher's game competition in 2023. This trial version is accessible now on Steam, with the full game set to debut on Steam on November 19.
