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

We were caught off guard by trailers showing some genuinely compelling turn-based gameplay, but the full launch of WendyQuest has brought yet another surprise: real rewards for beating bosses.

Every time you defeat a Mech Boss, the game will reward you with one 'Corner Stone,' which comes with a unique code. Enter the code into the 'Offers' tab on the Wendy’s app, and you’ll get a chance to win one of the following food rewards:

There are five Mech Bosses in the game, which gives you a total of five chances to score one of the rewards. Unfortunately, repeat encounters don’t appear to net additional codes.

The rewards aren’t entirely free — to actually redeem them, you’ll have to make a "separate qualifying purchase." Classic, I know. Reward eligibility is limited to U.S. residents who are 18 and older, and players have seven days after redeeming a code in-app to complete an order before it expires.

The real-life rewards will endure "while supplies last," indicating the promotion may be time-limited. It would be kind of wild if it was a permanent fixture of the Wendy’s brand, but you never know. The company just released their third-quarter financials, reporting a 7.6% decline in U.S. systemwide sales and 5.3% decline in same-restaurant sales, and has been going all-in on the marketing stunts to try and make up some ground.

WendyQuest: Legend of the Four Corner Stones launched as a free-to-play game on Steam, Android, and iOS devices on November 4, hitting a peak player count of just shy of 400 on Steam.
