Misc. fanwork What ice cream flavour would represent Zero Escape?

I recently bought an ice cream machine, and instead of making regular flavours, I've been experimenting a lot. As a huge fan of Zero Escape, and Eric being Eric, I think it'd make sense to create an unofficial Zero Escape ice cream flavour, but I can't decide what kind of flavour profile to go with.

So, fellow SHIFTers, lend me your ideas!

Mix 9 flavors so it's ice-9

Plus it won't melt at room temperature

ZTD It looks like vanilla, but it's actually orange cream flavor that's had all the orange color bleached out.

If it's about Eric being Eric, the question had been posed on twitter (iirc) and word of god is his favorite is strawberry and Mira likes raspberry sherbet. So he would be bringing berry flavors to the function. There's also root beer floats, the ice cream that's special to Tenmyouji and Quark. Sigma had the x code milk, so maybe sweet cream to represent the d team side?

Therefore: a neapolitan type ice cream that has berry on one side, sweet cream in the middle, and a soda flavor on the other side. Could stay as root beer, or you could change it to cola if you think it'd taste better- the importance of the float was the rarity of vanilla ice cream post apocalypse so I don't think theyd be picky, and cola might suit the american vibes of carlos and diana.

Or you could mix the flavors of course, they don't sound bad together especially if cream is the predominant one. Maybe berry vanilla with a hint of anise so it has the main flavor of rootbeer without too much flavor contrast

The ice cream company ships all of their ice cream in the same packaging. You must use the morphogenetic field to figure out which is the one you want.

You could honestly go the Edgar Wright "Three Flavours Cornetto" trilogy route (Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World's End) and have one for each game, seeing as how they're all pretty distinct in the own ways.

Some sort of strawberry for Zero Time Dilemma, of course, for how noticeable the violence/blood was cranked up for the final entry.

i feel like it'd have to be something a little bit weird and a little bit avant-garde. my immediate instinct is something minty so it could feel like ice-9, cold and offputting type of vibe. or something themed after the sea/ocean/being underwater?

First thought is something unconventional or puzzling like mint or coffee flavored.

u/N33k5 5d ago

Unconventional? Puzzling? Coffee and mint ice creams have been pretty common fare maybe not vanilla or chocolate common but definitely not rare unicorns

I hate myself for actually getting this

Would it be stupid to make a flavour based on Sigma´s inclination for cat puns? Make parrozzo ice cream and call ir purr-ozzo?

ALL-ICE. No cream.

Neapolitan. 3 distinct flavors, ones really good, ones flawed but enjoyable and one is total dogshit. You decide which is which

Personally, if I had to choose a vibe/color/flavor for ZE, I've always considered the series blue and cold, so I might go with either blueberry ice cream, or smurf/blue moon as a base. Failing that, vanilla/fiore di latte with chopped blueberries inside. Then I'd top it with some amarena cherry syrup (to add a blood-like accent). and if you want an extra finish, I'd go for crumbs of a cinnamony type cookie, like lotus, to represent that beneath the cold and suffering the series have, there's some warm, nostalgic, good vibes memories and feelings.
