With the needs and preferences of Roblox's community in mind, makeup brand Essence launched a wintry experience called the Kingdom of Essentia: Guardians Of The Lash Princess. This seasonally inspired virtual world offers up mini-games and messages centered on spreading positivity and kindness. As part of the experience, users fight against Evil Gray, representing challenges like negativity, intolerance and bullying.
On the first island, Frosty Falls, players can collect coins with Color Splash and Frosty Hover Rush, and make the world of Essentia more colorful.
Essence reaches the platform's millions of Gen Alpha and Gen Z users with 90s-style tycoon game mechanics, which revive popular parts of gaming culture for a new generation.
