Years ago there was an rpg based around skittles. Yes skittles. It was a banger, fun as hell. It also flopped because absolutely-fucking no one wants to play an advertisement.
Listen here EA - the world fucking sucks, no one is fucking happy. Can you just focus on making fun fucking things and not take a giant enshitification all over the one things most of us have to keep us from being on top of a water tower with a high powered rifle? Can we have ONE FUCKING THING??!
Weirdly enough, there’s been A FEW of these types of games that were based either on a specific product or a specific brand, and they were for the most part, weirdly well done for the times they released in and actually sorta fun.
Off the top of my head, Pepsiman for a specific product and the whole lot of Lego games if we’re talking about a whole product line.
The Dungeons and Dragons idle game has a champion that is composed of Nerds candy pieces. It’s actually a fun character concept because you can switch the nerds around to different colors, each one with a different class that changes how their mechanics work. But it’s just so weird seeing candy you can eat alongside Drizzt Do’urden that I never use them.
The packaging for the game really tried to hide it was an advertisement game. Title is Darkened Skye which says nothing about it being a skittles game.
Apparently the singular of skittles is “Skittles” according to that game

I think that whole genre is called advergames

I am genuinely surprised none of the freaks around here have mentioned the KFC dating sim yet.
Sometimes I forget that the LEGO games are just really fancy ads.
