“The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog” is a short visual novel that centers around the Sonic cast. The game starts with Amy Rose’s birthday party, which turns into a murder mystery party on the Mirage Express. Sonic the Hedgehog becomes the victim, and players must help the colorful cast of the Sonic series solve the mystery and uncover the culprit.
Players can expect to encounter both new and familiar faces as they interrogate some of their favorite characters in the game. They will also get to play a new character who starts their first day working on the Mirage Express and meets the kind Conductor who is finally retiring from his long run with the train.
The game is fully immersive, with hand-drawn landscapes and characters that transport players into the world of Sonic the Hedgehog. While this is not a Sonic Team title, the game’s creators believe in the power of headcanon, so players can decide for themselves whether “The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog” is canon or headcanon.
Sonic the Hedgehog has returned to the spotlight in recent years, thanks in part to two successful Hollywood movies. In addition, Sega recently released a new Sonic game, Sonic Frontiers, which has achieved over 3 million sales within just six months of its launch, making it one of the fastest-selling games in the series.
