Summary

A brand new Sonic experience from the minds of the Sonic Social team: The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a visual novel, point-and-click adventure! It's Amy Rose's birthday and she's hosting a murder mystery party on the Mirage Express. When Sonic 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 something more sinister afoot?

It's not a baf game. It is what it says: you try to solve the murder of Sonic.

The story was solid and fun, I don't know most of the characters but the story kept me engaged anyway.

The biggest downside for me was the forced mini game that showed up everytime you present evidence. I despise that thing (luckily you can turn on invincible mode and lower the amount of rings you need to pass....
What pissed me off the most tho was the whole final boss segment....because it's the mini game over and over and over again...it was like 8 rounds of it and I was so done with it after 3...it was a drag really.

But hey at least it's free.

This has to be the best April Fool's game to be made but wasn't intended to be this good!

The deduction mechanics here are super simple, but in terms of its art direction, writing, and platforming this is far more polished than I was expecting for a free April Fool's game. A genuinely nice treat to sit with for an evening.

Best April Fool's Joke game ever. Charming visual novel detective game with a bunch of Sonic characters. It's also... free on Steam!
