The marketing monsters at KFC have gone and made a Colonel Sanders dating sim
In the age of social media and influencer marketing, it can seem like there are very few new advertising ideas left to discover. This is not true. KFC, the innovators responsible for selling edible grease-vessels beyond a just god’s intentions, casting RoboCop as their mascot, and producing gravy-scented candles, have outdone themselves once more with, of all things, a Colonel Sanders dating simulator.
As made clear by the KFC Gaming Twitter account we now know exists, I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator is an actual PC game that digital storefront Steam lists as “Coming Soon.” Its profile page describes the game as “the world’s first Colonel Sanders dating simulator,” which really doesn’t need to be doubted, and says it will tell the tale of “a promising culinary student” who tries “to date [their] classmate, Colonel Sanders.”
“Throughout your journey, you’ll be faced with life-changing decisions that will affect your chances of friendship and love,” the description continues. “But be careful! Your choices have real consequences with real animated characters’ feelings at stake.”
