        Kingdom Come 1 promised this as a mechanic but then didn’t implement it. There are still toilets but you can only read books on them.

        In Duke Nukem 3D you could take a crap in the bathroom, and that game is from 1996.

                You can move in 3D space, as opposed to the previous games, which were side scrollers.

        I remember in ARK you would periodically shit a sphere. I forget what it can be used for though. It is definitely a game mechanic :)

        In this game there is a full optional nutritional/metabolic tracking mechanic, where you can leverage taking poops and use it to distract enemies, attract predators, or weaponize them to get other players in-game diseases

        Well, the problem is clearly that it is not.
        (In case you are actually confused “duty calls” or “I hear the call of duty” (or “I hear the call of nature”) can mean the speaker needs to take a shit.)

          “Call of doody”

          Also, anon could be referring to the fact that soldiers on the field tend to dig holes to shit if there is no toilet available. Call of duty being a military based game could have had shitting mechanics like how actual soldiers in the field do.

        It is in the Sims. Including “The Sims Bustin’ Out” which is an RPG.
