New Official Sonic Thriller Sport Simply Straight Up Kills Him

Saturday is April Idiot’s Day. So, as regular, firms are out right here releasing joke trailers and “humorous” tweets. However then you’ve gotten Sega, who simply printed a model new, utterly free, really actual, homicide thriller recreation on Steam that’s all about somebody killing Sonic the Hedgehog. That’s the way you do April Idiot’s, folks. Additionally: Holy shit.

Launched immediately on Steam for the proper value of zero {dollars} and no cents, The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a brief thriller recreation starring standard characters from the Sonic franchise working collectively to determine: Who the hell killed Sonic the Hedgehog? I imply, I do know his 3D video games have been type of unhealthy for years and his followers may be annoying, however I don’t suppose the blue blur deserved to get acquired, you realize?

In a trailer posted on March 31, Sega proudly boasts that it has heard all of the suggestions from gamers and its subsequent recreation is taking the franchise in a “daring new path” including that it’s excited to “announce” that Sonic is lifeless.

In accordance with the sport’s Steam web page—which once more, I’ve to emphasise is actual and exists—Sega says the sport is ready on Amy Rose’s birthday. She’s holding a homicide thriller get together on the Mirage Categorical. Sonic finally ends up being the primary sufferer, nevertheless, “one thing feels a bit off” in line with the sport’s description. “Is it actually an harmless recreation or is one thing extra sinister afoot?”

Sega says gamers will get to interrogate a few of their “favourite characters” as they struggle to determine who killed Sonic and why. The sport options absolutely hand-drawn landscapes and character artwork. Nonetheless, The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog wasn’t developed by Sonic Team, as famous on the sport’s Steam web page. So don’t think about this official canon, not like the time Sonic kissed a girl. Or do. What do I care? I’m not your dad.

Whereas most April Idiot’s Day jokes are unhealthy and never humorous, I’ll give Sega credit score for this one: Killing Sonic and making a recreation about it’s a superb bit. Bravo.
