"What would Sonic do...?"
THINK!!
I'm late to the punch, but The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is as sweet as it is short. Just clocking in before the three hour mark, this point-and-click visual novel shows that its made with immense love and care; nobody in the entirety of Sonic's cast has been given this amount of attention and faithful writing since, and you're not going to want to hear it but say it with me anyway, Sonic the Hedgehog '06. Not only does every one of Sonic's friends act as they should, letting their own personalities shine, this was a perfect vehicle for some unique character interactions you couldn't get before, alongside some well-inversed callbacks that I didn't piece together until a few lines after.I wish Ian Flynn could write callbacks with this kind of subtlety.
As an experimental side game made by Sonic's social media team with SEGA's blessing, and with some lines in-game hinting as such, I can only hope they're cooking a successor already, potentially one with voice acting and more Sage. This was a great piece of fanservice, one that treats each of Sonic's wonderful friends with the respect they've deserved and have been deprived of for long over a decade.
