https://www.pcgamer.com/chex-quest-3-is-now-official-general-mills-canon/
Chex Quest 3 was a bit of fan service created by Charles Jacobi, an artist who worked on the original Chex Quest, which, for the unfamiliar, was a 90s promotional game packaged with General Mills' beige cereal.
Using the ZDoom source port, Chex Quest 3 combines the levels from the first two games with a new chapter in the fibrous FPS. Jacobi released it as a free download in 2008, and today, General Mills has adopted Chex Quest 3 officially, "re-releasing" it along with a new poster by illustrator Marc Ericksen. You can grab it here.

The new feature, which is now in testing on the Overwatch PTR, will let players view their 10 most recent matches in their entirety from any perspective. Like similar replay systems from other games, you can speed up or slow down the action, and control the camera so you have a first-person, third-person, or bird's-eye view of the action.
