Wendy’s has gone full Wendy’s, releasing a 15-hour RPG based on the fast-food chain’s branding.

From the article,

WendyQuest was developed in collaboration with 81monkeys, a Canadian-based company, based on the 2D style of turn-based JRPG classics like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. As more and more games launch with full AI use disclosures, the WendyQuest Steam listing proudly proclaims the game as "100% fresh and 100% human made."

I'm not gonna play but I'm real curious if it's any good. I remember the Chex quest game and the taco bell's Tasty Temple Challenge from back in the day that had like some actual fun to them

Don't forget Cool Spot, an actual full-price retail game from the Genesis / SNES era that was basically a live advertisement for 7-Up.

There was also some game with "the Noid," which was the mascot for a pizza chain.

Found it: Yo! Noid for NES.

Don't know how good it could possibly be, but I know it won't replace Sneak King in this guy's heart.

Sneak King was one I missed and I'm almost tempted to try it. I should see if I can get some friends over, drink, and we work our way through all the fast food games.

The reviews are pretty good, and it looks pretty neat, not gonna lie.

Somebody's gotta mention I Love You, Colonel Sanders! and it might as well be me.

Oooh, the Wiki page calls it 'advergame,' as a generic term for the entire genre.

It was kinda weird that cereal websites had the best games in the early 2000's.
