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."

The rewards aren’t entirely free — to actually redeem them, you’ll have to make a "separate qualifying purchase."

Okay, so they're coupons. You advertise to yourself for hours on end to get a few measley, regular-ass coupons.

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

    I mean, devil's advocate, they could have released it for people to advertise to themselves, and give them nothing at all.

    There's a lot of negativity around advertising, and I completely understand why. I use a PiHole, adblockers, etc, I get it.

    But this seems so harmless to me. It's a free game that, by all accounts, looks pretty good actually, and at the end of it you can get some coupons.

    Personally, I'm not buying American when possible, so Wendy's is not an option for me anyway. I might still check this out for the funsies.

    FREE Medium Fry w/ purchase
 FREE Small Classic Frosty w/ purchase
 FREE 10 PC Nuggs w/ purchase
 FREE Biscuit or Croissant w/ purchase
 FREE Dave’s Single w/ purchase

    Yeah considering the app deals already have most of these same deals all the time they aren't very impressive. I guess it would depend on what purchase means. If it's $1 min then I guess it could be ok. Right now they normally have a free fry, wednesdays is free 6 piece, and a big one thats been around is buy a dave single or 10 piece get one free which is prob the best deal atm.
