Sega celebrated April Fool’s Day by teasing a new game called The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog. The twist? It’s actually real.
Described as a “labour of love from the Sonic Social team”, the point-and-click visual novel adventure is available now on Steam, featuring “fully hand-drawn landscapes and characters”.
The Sonic Social team thanks “a host of amazingly talented people who are just as passionate about Sonic as we are”.
“It’s Amy Rose’s birthday, and she’s hosting a murder mystery party on the Mirage Express!” teases the game’s description. “When Sonic the Hedgehog becomes the game’s victim, everyone is off to get to the bottom of things. However, something feels a bit off – is this really an innocent game or is something more sinister afoot?
