This game is actually way better than it has any right to be for an april fools game.
It's actually funny, charming, short, sweet and it does have some "Sonic gameplay" for those who just want to run fast in a Sonic game. It is nothing spectacular or anything (Pretty much just discount Ace Attorney), but this is the most amount of personality these characters have shown in YEARS.
I really hope SEGA learns from this and hopefully in the future they will allow Sonic Team to do more little side Sonic projects like this one. Not too ambitious, but a welcome, fun and really enjoyable side dish for Sonic fans.
I'm actually hoping they make a sequel to this one, just with a little bit more depth. This is the kind of experimentation I want from this franchise.

Somehow, Sonic character writing has improved everywhere EXCEPT the mainline titles. What you get is a solid hour with Sonic and the gang in an escape room, with plenty of continuity nods I wish the actual games had.
Sadly, it is held back by an unnecessary, mandatory minigame, lots of hand holding and the game sometimes freezing up / not responding to input, which I cannot excuse for a game that has no complex calculations or anything running under the hood.
