The concept reminds of Chex Quest, a Doom total conversion based on Chex, the cereal brand.

I loved playing it when I was 8 or so.

Chex Quest was really good, wasn't it!? I was so impressed. Today I learned, it is known for having been the first video game ever to be included as a cereal box prize.

Even I've heard of Chex Quest and the brand has never been available in my country.

Interesting lesson there. No one hates marketing tie-ins when you make something genuinely fun, i.e. that people want to play. Opposed to forcing a distraction.

I remember playing a somewhat decent adventure based on the BiFi salami snacks in the 90s.

BP once had a game where you run around refueling cars at a gas station.

Honestly I like Chex Quest more than Doom.

It would be hilarious if they made more of them. Chex: Eternal, Chex: Age of Breakfast
