Would you like to play a game? How about a game that doubles as a way to learn the ins-and-outs of working in the kitchen of a KFC? One that teaches you to pick out only the choicest cuts of chicken, bread them, fry them, and then live another day, finding a new appreciation for simple pleasures, like the laughter of a child?
If so, you should definitely check out the training game KFC has developed to teach employees to never again take for granted the feel of the warm April sun on their faces.
It's equal parts BioShock, Saw, and alt-comedy absurdity. It definitely makes frying chicken seem like a life or death struggle, but it doesn't look like there's any way to unlock the secret of the 11 original herbs and spices. Maybe they're holding that for the sequel, KFC VR Training 2: Flesh & Blood.
According to food site Eater, who blew this story wide open, the VR training game runs on Oculus Rift. The Colonel Sanders escape room simulation is only about 10 minutes long, as opposed to the 25 minutes it takes in the non-virtual reality to prepare the Colonel's recipe.
This may be the biggest and most unnecessary fast food innovation since McDonald's introduced the frork, the fork with fries as prongs.
