Brewing a new kind of mystery

A free simulation game by SEGA, The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog takes a new spin on the well-loved Sonic Adventure iteration. The plot of the game revolves around the murder mystery party hosted by Amy Rose, in which Sonic the Hedgehog becomes the victim. It’s a colorful quest that will surely take you to new heights.

Fully immerse in your character

Originally released as an April Fools’ joke, The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog still manages to provide an abundant storyline and exciting gameplay, where you have the chance to interrogate the characters to find out what really happened to Sonic. It’s also packed with vivid, high-quality graphics and a satisfying soundtrack to boot.

However, being an April Fools’ joke, it just seems like a game of never-ending cut-scenes, where all you will ever do is talk to the people around Mirage Express. Nevertheless, it offers a compelling storyline if you pay attention to the dialogues being exchanged, and it’s still a great choice to pass the time—just be prepared to continuously click (or tap your spacebar) on your mouse if you decide to play it.

Non-stop talking

The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, despite being an April Fools’ joke, delivers a compelling storyline and exciting gameplay, with the chance to interrogate characters and solve Sonic’s murder. However, the game does have an overabundance of cut-scenes and requires continuous clicking or tapping, but it’s still a great choice for idly playing on slow, boring days due to its plot.
