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 mean. I am all for good drive through.

    But if the premise is to get you hooked on junk food by gamifying it… that’s kinda icky.

      Drive-throughs are bad for urbanism.

      I’m actually less mad about games as marketing tie-ins.

          So what? Most places where people actually live are.
