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."

Actually tried this game and here are some observations -

  1. It runs fine on Steamdeck without any tweaking. The Steamdeck Compatibility rating didn't make this clear, so it is worth noting here.

  2. It isn't a horrible RPG. If you are a grizzled veteran of more complex JRPG mechanics and elements, you're going not going to be blown away or anything. But it is playable.

  3. The dialogue and puns are cheesy if self-aware.

  4. It's free, and there are coupon rewards for beating each section. This requires the Wendy's mobile app, which I don't use or care about. I eat traditional fast food maybe once per year. But it might be a upside for someone.

  5. I have to think the title "WendyQuest" is a nod to the historically significant PC game promo ChexQuest.
